This is fixed in 6.1.11 that is live now.
Any word on giving iCX owners a BIOS update so we can lock our additional fans to the GPU fan, like how ACX card already work, so we can use the fan curve software of our choice? I've been a loyal customer of EVGA products for nearly a decade, but I simply have no faith in your software.

That way, those of us who want to, can avoid using Precision altogether. Buying an EVGA card should not require the use of Precision. MSI and other brands pull that nonsense by locking the max advertised clock speeds behind the need to have their software installed. A practice EVGA prided themselves on not don't themselves.
But locking iCX owners into using Precision is no different.
Agreed.
I have a new EVGA GTX 1080 Ti FTW3 Elite card in transit due to arrive later today. Have used Afterburner for years and am somewhat disappointed to find out fan control for all the fans on this new card is going to require my using Precision XOC . Have not used Precision since the old legacy days when it used RivaTuner, and from what I have been reading XOC is pretty buggy at this time.
Just keep doing what I've been doing, and be persistent. Keep posting here, specifically quoting EVGA employees when possible so they get notified of replies and keep pressure on them via Twitter. There is zero reason, technical or business related, for them to force iCX owners to use Precision. Just the opposite in fact, it's a bad business decision because it pisses off long time customers such as myself.
I too used Precision in the old days when it worked with RivaTuner, and it was perfectly fine. But it's been a steaming pile of garbage ever since development was brought fully in house. The issues with 6.1.10 were just the latest in a long line of
dangerous bugs related to Precision. The disclaimer they make you agree to before downloading it isn't just standard covering their backsides, that disclaimer exists because Precision has literally killed cards in the past. So despite the lies from one of the employee's who posted in this thread, that disclaimer says point blank they absolutely will not cover any damage related to the use of Precision.
If they will honor warranties, the disclaimer needs to be changed to says as such, but the force me to agree to a legally binding contract that absolves them of repairing or replacing my card of Precision damages it. So for one of their employee's to dispute what that disclaimer says just pisses me off even more. Either that employee was lying, or the disclaimer is a lie.
