Having to flash the bios is not my issue, the resulting fan noise is. My box my card came in will essentially have false advertising on it.

The card can still have 0% fan speed. The resulting noise is actually not as loud as many are assuming. I run my fans between 50 and 60% on an open bench, and the stock Intel cpu cooler is louder than the GPU.

I need these pads!!!
 
My EVGA GTX 1080 SC is running at 91C with 90% fan speed when i play BF1 on ultra at 1440p.
 
I live in South Africa these pads will be a few month if at all... cant EVGA also provide us with the size and thickness of the pads?
For people who have access to thermal pads, cant we make our own?

I don't think the pads will solve your issue, it seems to be unrelated. Seems like to be a faulty card or an airflow issue. What's your case?

Am i the only one with 91C when gaming with a 80% fan speed?
 

It's impossible to tell if your issue is your GPU, or poor case air flow with high ambient temps.  In other words, more information is needed. Your GPU temp isn't strictly related to this issue. You might have better luck starting your own thread with more information.

Have submitted a ticket already.
 
But lots of airflow,
Ambient temp is 22C
 
when GPU is on idel with 40% fan speed it hovers around 45C
Playing BF1 maxes at 91C

Um, no offense but with the front fans being partially blocked by the front panel and apparently no exhaust fans, I'm not sure how good your air flow is.

This is absolutely unacceptable.

What were you doing instead of testing your cards before releasing them ? You just found out that your cards get so hot that they not only destroy themselves but can damage other components of people's PCs ? Oh wait, you didn't. Others did after you cards literally got cooked !

This situation is a joke especially after people pay over 400$ for your products. I shouldn't have to deal with applying thermal pads myself, when I have paid that much money for your GPU. I shouldn't have to RMA my card, because I shouldn't go through all the trouble after I've payed so much for a card. RMAing means I'm left with no card for days, which in my case hurts my work on top of me not being able to play games. I don't have the time to deal with your incompetency, and neither should anyone else after paying for a product that was guaranteed to be able to able to handle getting pushed even further.

Funny thing is you put it in a way that you are doing us a favor instead of apologizing for your incompetency. Thermal pads are not needed but we give it to you for free?! Even with the BIOS update the temperatures are not looking pretty, and it makes the card noisy for people who chose this brand for being silent.

I'm definitely not going with Evga next time I'm purchasing a GPU.

Stop flaming!
Why?
This is a PRODUCT, that means IT CAN get issues. You as human can get sick, your car can be broken, your phone could have issues and your microwave also can be broken. And for ALL this products there are HUMANS working. That means they are not machines and mistakes can happen. Of course they could do better but I am sure: They will with next card. And if that hurts your work so hard - that means you have a 2nd PC? What do you do if mainboard is broken, CPU, RAMS, Monitor, Keyboard, PSU... do you have a backup for all this stuffs? I am sure you dont have and you are just here to flame.

1) EVGA has confirmed 100000 times, that you don't NEED this pads. It is an option. You flame and cry about an issue and you even don't have any issue. Dude, really? 
2) This is warranty: You have issues, the manufacturer has support for this and they help you. That is what they do here. 

I can understand people if they are scared (I am also scared and not sure yet if I will replace the card). I also would understand if you wont buy any products from EVGA if they dont give you support (or bad support) - but you get support and fast replays. You get support even that they confirmed that card is working.

People flame when they dont get support
People flame when they get support.
Internet people are just...

You're out of touch with reality buddy.
 
1. How do you know I don't have any issues ?
2. Did you even read my entire post ? If I want to RMA my card, it seems I have to pay for the shipping. On top of that I will be left without a card for days on end, and I need the card for my work ! I shouldn't have to go through all this, because of the obvious lack of competence of Evga to monitor their card's temps after they ask for over 400$ for their product ! 
 
Do you understand that their cards overheating like this is the first thing Evga should have tested, caught, and remedied before releasing their cards ? 
Do you understand that your GPU running this hot and apparently going up in flames can possibly harm other components of your PC ?
Do you understand how negatively this will affect the card's reselling value ?
Do you understand paying over 400$ of your hard earned money and then having the company tell you you should install something that needed to be there already, is unprofessional ? Don't give me it doesn't need to be there, because the whole purpose of these cards and the custom coolers are to get lower temperatures. 1-2$ thermal pads help the card to stay cooler, so it is a clear oversight and lack of quality control.
Do you understand providing customer service and trying to fix issues after releasing a defective product is not a good thing ? I mean it's not even exceptional customer service either. Reasonable customer service in this case would be extending the warranty of the affected cards on top of everything else without any additional costs or allowing people to refund their cards in order to buy another card ASAP to get back to work, gaming, and anything else they need the card for.
 
And people saying people over stressed their cards like running a car through the cornfield and smashing it to walls and so forth is just ridiculous. These cards are advertised as being able to handle overclocking and having 400% longer life spans for God's sake.
 
More cards are having issues than Evga is letting on and more will start to have issues as the cards age, and this is more widespread than Evga wants to admit. I assume untested cheap parts were used in these cards, but that is just my speculation.

Why is EVGA somehow responsible for people running a software even NVIDIA says not to run, for a ridiculously long amount of time AND run it at only 3-40% fan speed? Who would do something that stupid then complain about temperature issues?

3-40% fan speed?! do you have a link for that?
 
The card is supposed to support actual apps on the market and is supposed to be future proof (at least for the 2 years to come), meaning than some app or games will be more demanding. If a card is not able to support intensive computing without blacking out or crashing/burning with today software/games whatever they are, it's a major design flaw by itself. Blunt and simple.

30-40% sorry for the typo, but I would think that was obvious. Several users here have already confirmed, if you bump up the fan speed, the card operates just fine btw. Also, Futuremark is not, nor will it EVER be a good comparison to "regular software". Running the card at non-stop 99% usage for 2 hours without having a proper fan profile? Thats just stupidity IMO.

EVGA GeForce GTX 1080/1070 PWM Operating Temperature Update
 
11/1/2016 - Recently, it was reported from several sources, that the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW PWM and memory temperature is running warmer than expected during Furmark (an extreme stress utility).
 
EVGA has investigated these reports and after extensive testing, below are our findings:

• On ACX 3.0, EVGA focused on GPU temperature and the lowest acoustic levels possible. Running Furmark, the GPU is around 70C +/- and the fan speed is running approximately 30% duty cycle or lower.
• However, during recent testing, the thermal temperature of the PWM and memory, in extreme circumstances, was marginally within spec and needed to be addressed.

Conclusion: EVGA offers full warranty support on its products, with cross-ship RMA*, and stands behind its products and commitment to our customers.
 
To resolve this, EVGA will be offering a VBIOS update, which adjusts the fan-speed curve to ensure sufficient cooling of all components across all operating temperatures.  This VBIOS will be released in the next few days and users can download it and update their cards directly.   This update resolves the potential thermal issues that have been reported, and ensures the card maintains safe operating temperatures.
 
For those users who want additional cooling beyond the VBIOS update, EVGA has optional thermal pads available.  This update is not required, however; EVGA will make it available free of charge to any customer who is interested. To request the thermal pad kit, please visit www.evga.com/thermalmod 
 
Any customer who is not comfortable performing the recommended VBIOS update, may request a warranty cross-shipment* to exchange the product to EVGA for an updated replacement.
All graphics cards shipped from EVGA after 11/1/2016 will have the VBIOS update applied.
 
*The EVGA EAR(Advanced RMA Program) and Cross Shipping options are available in the Continental United States, Hawaii, Alaska, Canada, EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland.  EVGA offers Standard RMA replacement options in the Middle East, Africa, India or outside of the before mentioned supported areas.
 
FAQ
 
Q. Which cards are supported by these updates?
A. EVGA ACX 3.0 GeForce GTX 1080, 1070 or 1060 cards with the following part numbers:

 
*Founders Edition, Blower type, HYBRID, and HYDRO COPPER cards do not need these updates.
 
Q. If my Graphics Card is not an ACX 3.0 design is it affected?
A. No, all other GPUs sold by EVGA including Founders Edition, Blower type, HYBRID, and HYDRO COPPER editions are unaffected.

 

Q. Does the VBIOS fix the temperature issues?
A. Yes, the VBIOS update will fix the temperature issues.
 
Q. Is my card damaged from running at a higher temperature?
A. No, but should any future warranty service be needed, EVGA stands behind its products.
 
Q. What happens if my card is accidentally damaged during the optional thermal pad installation?
A. EVGA will stand behind its customers with full warranty and cross-shipment.*
 
Q. What if I am not comfortable updating my VBIOS?
A. While EVGA has very user friendly ways to update VBIOS’s, if you still do not feel comfortable, we will support you with and advanced RMA and ship you a replacement card with the latest VBIOS.

Most every forum outside of this one is full of adults who are giving this non-issue the attention it deserves (little to none).

Walk away from the PC and get some perspective. Ridiculous requests like the above ensure that evga doesn't take you seriously.

Sorry i won't take the bait. Buyer's Stockholm Syndrome? (yes that's a thing)
Let me help you about the perspectives :
