I've been reading these threads, and I guess I don't understand how using anecdotal information or presumption is helping the situation any. People can and should certainly be put off that their cards have failed, but it's pretty clear that people also don't know what generated the failure of the card OR how many have actually failed. Extrapolation to a systematic problem is unwarranted. It's just adding angst for people that aren't having problems and not working towards any particular solution.  
There is limited actual information out there. Toms Hardware did a good job identifying a problem. EVGA didn't do a good job of providing a top-tier cooling solution and that should hit their reputation. But everything else right now is just conjecture.
This whole thing rings a lot like the AMD PCIE issue - poor implementation yielding an identifiable problem that then gets the interwebs spinning... but is for the majority a non-issue. Time will tell i suppose.

@ksgnow2010: Crooked EVGA is a nasty company. Just look at the leaks that are coming out about VRM heat and out of spec components. They knew about it and did nothing! EVGA is terrible for the community and we need to stop them. We're gonna make the best graphics card you've ever seen. It'll have the best VRMs ever made. It'll have the best cooling ever made. It'll be the most powerful card you've ever seen. And we're gonna make China pay for it. Folks, we've been taken for a ride and it needs to stop now. All the other manufacturers are laughing at us. They're laughing at us and surpassing us because we're all puppets and blindly support EVGA. Stop buying EVGA and make our GPUs great again!

Um - wow - I am going to unsubscribe from this thread until real substantiated information comes out.  Claiming that EVGA knew and did nothing about it is a long LONG stretch.  Do you REALLY think a company would purposefully make bad product and ship it?  Again - wow.
 
I'm the COO of a manufacturing company.  Our employees work hard every day to make sure that good product is shipped out.  Do we have the occasional issue?  Yes.  Do we all do our best to resolve it and make customers happy.  Yes.  Are 100% of customers happy 100% of the time?  No - this is impossible.
 
Stating that EVGA is doing this on purpose and that EVGA is "crooked and nasty" (and all of their employees by correlation) is just simply stupid, uninformed, malicious, and childish.
 
I own a 1080 FTW and it's running great.

What we need is to build a wall between the VRMs.

I completely agree with this.  It seems like people are looking for reasons to hate on EVGA.  It appears to me that this whole thing is extremely isolated incidents.  I have a GTX 1080 FTW and have had zero issues to date.  EVGA is known for their customer support.  I fully expect if I have issues within the warranty period that EVGA will take care of me.

Wow I underestimated the ability to take a joke and sarcasm around here! Again, because I guess it isn't obvious, read my comment again, notice the smiley face and /s, and look at ksgnow's avatar. LOL. Lighten up guys, it's Monday morning!

For everyone claiming your Video card is running fine, so was mine, for nearly 4 months.  I never had any of the black screens or other problems I've read about.  Just all of the sudden bam, dead.  So if you can afford to lose your card for ~2 weeks then good for you.  I however rely on it for work purposes and was extremely lucky I never sold or gave away my old AMD card, the performance isn't great, but at least it is getting me by for now.

Interesting since there are a lot more SC complaints than FTW ones.

You mean less? Thought it was the other way around

As for this picture, it is very unfortunate to see a component burn, but this is on the back side of the card compared to the others having part pop on the front side of the card.

My question is, what actually happened here? It was perfect timing to start it and have the video capture this failure.

Also, for everyone else interested, never block the fan with another component. Move the sound card further down so your gpu can breath. (not related to the failure, just something to note for others).

I'm not sure what cards you're referring to that had a part pop on the front? The area in this video is the same area where my 1070 flamed up. It would be hard to say without removing that card and looking at it what actually popped but in my case the failed part was on the back above the VRM area. For all I know there could have been failure on the front too, but once I saw the damage to the back I knew it was dead. :(

I am actually getting quite sick and tired of your type of responses to the issue. CLEARLY there is an association with this card and the issue we are talking about. How about stop hiding behind customer's back and come out and say "there is an issue, here is the fix, we are trying hard to resolve.. etc" because it's obvious we can see you PR back peddling back to middle school.
