Re: Update 11/3/16 with NEW BIOS - EVGA GeForce GTX 1080/1070 PWM Operating Temperature Up

PLEASE share a comparison between the original FAN Curve GTX 1070 Superclocked and the NEW fan curve. I 'don't want to lose the quiet factor. Other question is , Is there a way to revert back to the BIOS before the update? If you don't like the new curves and noise? Is it good enough to just install one thermal pad, the one behind the back plate which is much easier and not install the one where you have to remove the heatsink? I bought and paid extra for my card for the quietness advertised. Since this is not what we are getting, there should be available a full refund on all.

I dont like the bios update, its a good first step but seriously the sound level will be terrible. Watch this (around 6:30)
www. youtube.com/watch?v=qZ0eAylzl0o
Using the thermal pad the card will be much cooler without the fan going crazy. EVGA should do RMA and also apply the thermal pads. I dont want to do that myself.
I have already made a RMA request. If this is such a great company as people use to say it will be accepted.
I did not pay this much for a loud card like the video shows. With the pads the card is what it should have been from the start. Its up to proof now if EVGA has a good customer service.
From what I heard a moderator point out earlier in the thread you need to use tube not youtube to embed the video you are attempting to embed
What is tube? is it not allowed to put youtube link? (if so sorry for that, that was just a great video with facts i think people would have interest in).
I was just referring to the statement "also, to embed a video, just use tube, not youtube." made by moderator Scarlet-Tech in post #587 of this thread. It allows you to embed the video directly into the page if desired.

Sure, and your VRM and VRAM are at? (exactly, you don't know).

Oh well...tried three times to update bios...first time, the Command prompt just closed immediately. Then made sure all programs were closed and ran in Administrator mode...command prompt opened...recognized my card and then closed. Never given an option to type Y. Then tried in safe mode...nada. Guess I will keep using Afterburner and keep my aggressive fan profile.
Just curious, are you running a AMD chipset motherboard, if so see:
Q. I have an AMD chipset motherboard, and the flash is not completing. What do I do?
A. Please contact (see main post for hyperlink to email), this will require a special update.
Intel X99 with i7 5820K. Still no luck...tried it from command prompt by itself and still no flash.
Have you tried downloading the VBIOS update again? Perhaps it got corrupted during download? I know its unlikely considering how short the download is, but just trying to think of what it could be. Sorry you are having problems.
Yes....downloaded a second time and same result. Windows 10 Pro 64 bit...I would understand if it didn't recognize the video card...but it does. Shows the card model. I guess the next step is to ask me if I want to flash, but it never goes that far. Command prompt gets to acknowledging my card...then closes
You need to run this exe as administrator (right mouse button click -> run as administrator).

installed new vBIOS and thermal pads that EVGA provided. it was very quick. longest time was to remove the LED power pins (fat fingers :D). my idle temp was 42C w/ 0 RPM before. now its 34C with 30% fan speed when idled. I've also checked to see if VRAMs gaps are there, but no. overall, it was a simple task.. it takes shorter times to do it yourself then making a request for RMA, literally. but EVGA is offering a lot of choices for you whatever is convenient for you. yeah, we shouldn't really have to do any of these, but what can we really do..
I think I'll set my fan control to aggressive for now see it plays.

I understand and that's ok, no need to apologize, what i'm trying to point is the problem is not the GPU chip temperature (the reading you have), which are well contained and have fail-safe anyway, the problems are the VRMs and VRAM temps (problematic one), which are out of reach for a casual user. Putted simply, It run ok, it smell ok, but it's not ok, and both VRMs and VRAM will fail in a short period of time if not addressed (EVGA design/hardware issues).

How long does it take for the firmware to update? I ran the update.exe file, typed "y". Some text quickly displayed on the screen, and then the DOS prompt window closed itself - all within a sec. Does that mean the flash was successful?

I was like you, it finished so fast and closed I was like hmm is it done? I saw shortly before it closed "update successful" or something similar for about a second however. I waited maybe a minute after the window closed just to be sure and restarted. All is fine for me and Nvidia control panel shows updated VBIOS in system information after restart.

Yup, it's that easy. Just use GPU-Z to confirm the BIOS number to make sure. That's also exactly why this drama is ridiculous - it's literally a 30 second process including download time (at least that's as long as took for me to update the firmware for Micron memory).

This^^^^^ Good job. Rather than whining and complaining you took the initiative and fixed the problem with the help of Evga. I wish everyone would be like you, rather than dragging everyone else down by posting negative garbage in every other post to get their deranged point across. The mods should merge all the complaints into a new thread. That way the front page doesn't look like all hell just broke loose. A lot of people come here for help and guidance. If I were a new user I wouldn't come back. It's a nightmare. I feel bad for everyone that has had genuine issues. But for everyone else that sees a post on reddit then decides to bash board partners not so much. I feel sorry for these people, seeking attention by spreading panic and mostly unproven rumors. Anyway I'm done ranting.

I totally agree, bios update is fine but for such a premium card i should not have to take it appart and do what they ask us to do even if they claim its optional.
All the videos i seen shows that the thermal pads make a huge difference keeping the heat down and without the fan going extremly loud. The whole point when i selected this card was the quiet fans. Now with this bios it can go up to 2200rpm which is crazy. Normally i goes to 1600RPM and with the pads it will be around 86 degree which is totally fine.
Hopefully my RMA will also be approved so i can swap this for a new card with the thermal pads. Otherwise its going back to the shop.
That video is from preliminary fix. Final is around 2000 RPM during Furmark, and a bit lower during gaming.

Well it's up to you really, i can't advise you on that. What i can do in the other hand, is telling you what i will do (am doing), i will not temper in any way with my asset, it's EVGA work, not mine (not at this price point), the Bios'es and Pads are just Fairy dust to me, I'm waiting my ticket...to get a proper answer then RMA it to get a Properly fixed or not plagued (up to them), Brand new card, my last resort will be a simple Refund.

You do realize there won't be thermal pads, right? All they'll do is flash the BIOS (30 seconds of effort) and send you back a refurb. But if that's what you want, go for it.

You sure seem to be doing alot of fearmongering along the course of this thread. I mean I understand your frustration but RMA'ing your card is not going to get you a magical fix that noone else is getting who chooses to flash the BIOS and install the thermal pads. You will get the same thing they have, just likely done for you. And thats ok too, nothing wrong with that. But bashing the company for their approach to the situation while they are just going to give you the same approach in the RMA process is ludicrous and irrational. The outcome is the same either way, except you don't have to do the work.

Well, he didn't say "I did run this exe as admin" so... Anyway... I've had the same issue with my card and Windows 10, I mean, even with the correct bios so I think my advice can be usefull not only to him but to the others too.
He did say that.. anyway... The instructions do not say that we should run the update as admin, they say "double click update.exe". I think it is best to follow the instructions.

What 's your advice to avoid unpleasent surprises, i already made a request for thermal pad.
Well it's up to you really, i can't advise you on that. What i can do in the other hand, is telling you what i will do (am doing), i will not temper in any way with my asset, it's EVGA work, not mine (not at this price point), the Bios'es and Pads are just Fairy dust to me, I'm waiting my ticket...to get a proper answer then RMA it to get a Properly fixed or not plagued (up to them), Brand new card, my last resort will be a simple Refund.
You sure seem to be doing alot of fearmongering along the course of this thread. I mean I understand your frustration but RMA'ing your card is not going to get you a magical fix that noone else is getting who chooses to flash the BIOS and install the thermal pads. You will get the same thing they have, just likely done for you. And thats ok too, nothing wrong with that. But bashing the company for their approach to the situation while they are just going to give you the same approach in the RMA process is ludicrous and irrational. The outcome is the same either way, except you don't have to do the work.
Don't waste your effort - he's set on being an unreasonable and throwing a tantrum. I've waited for him to calm down and act rationally but that's obviously not happening.

It's pretty simple. If you don't run benchmarks for hours, you're fine. If you want to have peace of mind, flash the BIOS for your card in the first post (follow the instructions) which will increase the fan speed. Then go back to enjoying your system.

Even my 7 year old daughter doesn't have 3 day tantrums.....it's more of a negative cry for attention. "Look at me mad I'm mad!" or "Look what I can do!" <----Stewart reference from MADTV.
