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.

I'm not fear-mongering at all, but i understand you can get it that way. I'm just stating facts, when i deal with an entity or a  company i put my emotions out of the way. I paid for something, that must be delivered as is, square and simple.
 
If EVGA can't deliver a FIXED card (which i know they can't now, factories process have to be updated etc, i got that, but i as i said, i have no empathy For Entity or Companies), they can simply take the exact same card with a different cooling or not touched one by the issue and cross ship it to me, which is the right and only move right now.
 
Otherwise a Refund is the only solution. I could be simpler for me to just ask that, without wasting my time in the Forum, but as you can see i still give them Options to set things right.

Its not a fact when you say you disapprove of the provided method but then state that you are willing to recieve disapproved method by RMA'ing your card for the exact same fix. This my friend we call irrationality. 

EDIT: In the end I think you are best seeking a refund because this is the only fixes you are going to receive unless future problems arise. And you are clearly not satisfied with the fixes provided. This is my advice.

No, this is called "not reading what i wrote properly".
But again i'm not impressed by employees under cover, i said that already. (here one for free to call me paranoid and add it to the irrational one.)

You could just save yourself a hernia and the rest of us a headache by simply calling 1-888-881-3842 to express your frustration with them directly?

And act like an adult?  Where's the fun in that?

@darheran
I couldn't agree with you more. There are a lot of frustrated people ATM, but they're are upset, angry, frustrated(i.e. not thinking clearly=irrational). Some people have good reason to be pissed, others just use the "what if" analogy too A WHOLE NUBBA LEBEL. <----another MADTV reference for those of us old enough to remember it.

If you read, you can see that a ticket (what am i saying, 2 tickets are open). Which is a valid process.
 
Anyway what you and your friends are trying, won't work nor stick. Unless you show me your official EVGA card. keep trying.

Understood, rational decision making is beyond expectations beyond this point. Best of luck in your endeavors resolving your issue.

So, you'll rant and rave like a spoiled child here? Until they resolve your issue? OMG, LOL! That's some rational thinking there my friend. Best of luck to you, and may heaven/hell help us for the duration until they do resolve it.

You got it, pretty much, if it's the only language EVGA understand to take care of it, i'll continue to massage where it hurt. I took the liberty to edit your post, hope you don't mind.


Thank you.

Thanks for confirming that you're not ever planning on growing up.  We can all comfortably ignore you now.

Tks Jacob.

Starting to wonder if this guy works for the enemy (i.e. another board partner) or just lives at home with parents and has nothing better to do?

so i received my thermal pad kit in the mail yesterday. this was after requesting the fix on Oct. 26. considering that these needed to be ordered and cut to size, not a bad turnaround.
 
i installed the pad mod last night. took 30 minutes, and part of that was me looking around for coffee filters to clean off the old TIM. if you build machines, the install is easy as pie. the most difficult part was getting the hard to reach fan and LCD header plugs off. you just have to be patient with these.
 
i actually was happy for the excuse to redo the TIM on the GPU. VRAM pads appear to be in full contact with the midplate btw.
 
i'm posting this in part because i'm tired of all the FUD getting slung around here. the fix is simple; if you don't want to do it, request an RMA exchange.

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.

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.

Is this true?

 
I'll quote myself from the other thread:
 
EVGA has not made any final statement about new shipping cards - the earlier statement was preliminary and subsequent to that statement, the "fix" changed - fan speeds were significantly throttled down from the preliminary fix and still bring VRMs well into the acceptable range.  Unless EVGA explicitly now (after the vbios release) announce that thermal pads are included in all shipping cards from here on out, my understanding is that they will not be included.
 
For example, if they include the pads, then the thermal mod is no longer "optional" and it's silly to call it that.  If new shipping models include the thermal mod, then all current owners should be able to swap out for units with the thermal mod if they don't want to do it themselves.  It would not be the smartest business move - if I was EVGA, I would walk back quickly from any statement that thermal pads will be included or their claimed "fix" of only vbios is disingenuous.

I also did the mod yesterday. Had some 1mm/1.5mm spare pads around the house. I didn't have coffee filters either. Had to go to store to get shop towels and 91% alcohol. The mod took less than 20 minutes. The fan and led headers are a PITA though. Had to ask the wife to undo them, smaller hands.
