Just got my pads on Saturday. Was waiting 2 weeks like you. Hang in there should be any day.

i have 8G-P4-6181-KR and i did firmware update any else need to do????

I just received the thermal pads today and wanted to say instructions were great and install was quite easy.  

My 1080 FTW ACX is sort-of cool. Then again, that's because it's uninstalled, and in a box, waiting to be returned under warranty, as it decided to sacrifice itself to the Lord of Light.. I hate being part of the group that had issues. Running 1400p144 on a 780 is just not feasible. 
 
My room stinks and the smell has made me sick.. Coupled with that collateral price to get a replacement within a business week, this all makes me a sad panda. 

In this thread's OP, it is said by Jacob: "All graphics cards shipped from EVGA after 11/1/2016 will have the VBIOS update applied."
 
And in this post, Jacob says that cards shipped after 11/1/2016 also have fixed VRAM thermal pads.
 
But, do all graphics cards shipped after November 1st also have backplate, VRM thermal pads installed? I'm asking because calling the mod "optional" makes that part a bit unclear.

Can anyone upload the original BIOS 08G-P4-6171-KR? The new one is to noisy for me in the end.
 
Thanks in advance.
 
 

Just re-update your PRIMARY BIOS and you get the 0rpm (up to 55 degrees) again. I did, and my card is dead silent. I did have the same issue with noise, and I figured out why. I did install Primary AND Secondary update. It gave me a noisy card. Re-updated Primary, and everything is fine. Remember to check if you have set the bios to Primary on the card.....very important!

I have updated my GTX 1080 SC (08G-P4-6183) BIOS to 84.04.3B.00.82. Now, when GPU under load, the fan RPM spikes to 3000+ every few seconds. Is this normal?
 
Is there a way to set thresholds and configure the fan speed profile on my own?

wow, that was helpful..
It would be a completely different story if i would be able to find the "search thread" option.

I have the GTX 1080 FTW.  I have already flashed both primary and secondary bios.  The thermal pads arrived for me yesterday and I installed them.  I used my own Tuniq TX-4 thermal paste instead of what came in the kit.  I tested the card after putting it all back together.  I'm seeing a 10-11 degree DROP in temps while playing Battlefield 1 for about 45 minutes.  Ambient temp was 73 degrees F.
 
Could this be attributed more to the TX-4 paste or the thermal pads?  Just curious.  Install was simple.. just tedious.
 
GPU temp BEFORE mod during BF1 - Ambient temp 73F --- 58C
GPU temp AFTER mod during BF1 - Ambient temp 73F --- 47C

Hello Hanson,
i uploaded the original firmware of my 08G-P4-6171-KR , the way i received my GTX 1070 ACS3.0 when i bought it (i have Samsung RAM, so i did not implement that other update regarding Micron RAM).
 
By the way, i didn't realize any sound increase with the new firmware, and hey....i live in Brazil, with ambient temperature always at 30ºC+ .
 
Best Regards

Hi albher,


I have Samsung RAM too. Where did you uploaded it?
 
Thank you.

Hello Hanson,

Just for quoting:: the ROM was saved with CPUZ 1.12 just before i have updated my GPU. You may need the latest NVFlash in order to put the ROM back.

Hard to tell, but did you replace the memory pads as well?
 
I've seen the theory that the improper contact of memory and cooling plate might have heated up the GPU as the memory chips dissipate their heat into the PCB surrounding the GPU itself, leading to a warmer GPU.

Hello albher,
thank you very much. I got it now. Very kind of you.
 
Best regards.

03G-P4-6162-KR here, and running very hot VRMs in Furmark, case open.
Over 100C can be seen...:(
