If you can find a repair shop that can work on it, you may be able to get the piece repaired, as long as nothing else was damaged at the same time.

It is very difficult to say.

If you registered the card, you can view your warranty information on the “My Products” page at the top of the forum. If you are on mobile, go to Evga.com instead of forums.evga.com to view the my products section.

SAME EXACT PROBLEM WITH MY 1070 I PURCHASED IN EARLY AUGUST 2016!!!! Same exact transistor smoked up (q37) I had never had a problem with the card before until my computer randomly died and when I turned it back on the card began to smoke!!!!!!!!! I feel like EVGA should replace cards that are smoking up warranty or not that's a liability!!!!!!

No way.

 
Why do you say that? It seems almost certain that the issue is on EVGA side with the manufacturing if this exact problem is happening with multiple cards of the same model. As a buyer I feel you have the right to a replacement part or a replacement card if the one you bought was faulty or prone to smoking up and putting you in danger- its a safety hazard. Much like in the automotive industry when a manufacturer finds a faulty part and they offer to replace it for free. Its the right thing to do if you ask me, would show good business principles from EVGA as well. I know I'm certainly never buying another EVGA card if this isn't replaced, why would I?

EVGA isn't the only company who is facing these same failures.  It's a reference design.  If you want to hold someone accountable, contact NVIDIA.  And then they will ignore you.

I didnt know this was happening with other companies. Seems like everywhere I read of a 1070/1080 smoking up its an EVGA card. Either way I copped a 5700xt to replace it so nvidia lol. Would have bought one of the new 3070's or new 6000 series card but not trying to deal with hassle of getting my hands on one! GPU market clearly not very efficient.

One thing to keep in mind, EVGA doesn’t make components on the board. They design a pcb, and components from other companies are attached to their PCB. If a single components fails, it can be catastrophic, but EVGA isn’t making that single component, so it is hard to know what caused the failure exactly.

It is likely a faulty component and not EVGA’s design. That is why you can see similar failures on ALL types of products and not centralized to a single manufacturer.

It never hurts to contact EVGA and talk to them directly.

Thank you! I contacted them but I doubt anything will be done since I'm out of warranty unfortunately.

one more victim with same issue where capacitors are burnt.... Same model card  purchased on   SEP 2016.. also i remember  thermal pads were issued due to serious heating problem when EVGA launch  these cards.
at least EVGA should offer some-sort of help to RMA/fix the card  to have the trust in the brand EVGA.
 
Looks common issue for the batch of cards who purchased in JULY /SEP/OCT 2016..
EVGA Experts any suggestions on this?

yaa.. will go for ASUS Strix  until " EVGA gonna make me an offer that i can't refuse" :-D

It's been more than a year since I posted this, and I'm sad to see other people are having similar problems. I sold the broken unit to an Electrical Engineering student on ebay and he was somehow able to fix and resell the card - so e-waste averted!
 
What was interesting, however, is that he noticed very shoddy soldering on the rest of the PCB - he even reached out to ask if I had messed with the card beforehand or if there were any previous owners - which wasn't the case, as I was the original owner. I'd speculate that some of the earlier production runs (July/Aug 2016 Purchase Dates) were either rushed or not as well assembled due to being a new generation GPU and PCB contractor manufacturers for EVGA had not worked out all the kinks in their production line. I doubt EVGA will do anything about it, but if you have an earlier model Pascal card, just be aware that the card may have defective soldering in multiple places.

do you have your buyer mail or something. or if you could ask him about the components as they are hard to find the specs for.
