How acx - acx2.0 linked with acx3.0 ?
Below pictures of (970-980-1070) FTW & 980ti SC.
As you can see there difference from card to card and especially the thermal pads that are under the baseplate of 1070 (it has a line of thermal pad 5mm).
Compare the baseplate and thermal pads of 1070 with the others
The factory thermal pad is 5mm ?
no, 5mm I mean the width as you can see in picture
ohhh, ok thanks for clarification! So we do have room for improvement. Is that 1070 yours? could you verify if the thermal pds are indeed touching memories? there should be marks from pressure on them.

@dzernesto You welcome, no it's not mine and i don't dissamble the card until more informations come out. From here are the pictures http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=auto&tl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.tomshardware.de%2Fnvidia-geforce-gtx-1080-gtx-1070-grafikkarten-roundup%2Ctestberichte-242137-2.html

Indeed there is a problem with thermal pads touching memories. this is concerning. Hes card was indeed operating in high temps. Mines is not, even so I'll check later.

Hi guys, I'm a new member in the forums.
I'm kind of worried that my card lifespan is in danger. Should I be worried. Is thermal pad really needed? I don't want to place the thermal pad myself as I don't want to damage the card. I don't have the skills.
I would personally recommend anyone with these cards to stop what your doing, and conduct your own visual inspection before continuing to unknowingly torture your hardware, as those temps cannot be directly monitored otherwise. Seems this whole thing is subject to a lottery of its own, and the stakes are high, so don't mess about. Do the pads !

I assume any sort of warranty the card is under will remain 100% intact when making these modifications?

Those images are certainly concerning- if that's what some cards look like it makes sense people are having heat and clocking issues.

we paid 400+€ for theese cards and also now we have to make some modding/customization ourself to make it work properly LOL this is insane ok i can agree they will send me the pads for the backplate BUT now i have also to check the clearence between mem chips/gpu and heatsink... and maybe change pads with others more thick i mean this is not 1070/1080 FTW... just invert the F and the W and you get my point (edition) we should RMA directly if we have this problem and EVGA should replace with new fixed models

I heard this temperature problems, and I checked my EVGA card.
(EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0)
And I found some gap between the Memory and the thermal pad.
Well this is disappointing.
My first 1070 FTW when suffering from heat realized that a screw was not totally screwed, i had to change the position of screws to screw it completely, check it.

I honestly think this does ask a lot of end-users and introduces the potential for a whole slew of other issues. (Did you touch something you shouldn't have? Did you properly apply the pads? Did you properly apply thermal paste? In all areas? Did you put everything back together correctly?) If this is the sort of thing that might typically result in voiding your warranty (But isn't in this case), is this really the right solution? I hear people keep saying too that, "Well, if you don't notice an issue, just remember, it's all within proper limits." But we're still getting these pads offered, which means it's apparently a big enough issue to offer some type of solution. I don't know, It's just not a comforting response.

I checked the screws. Looks good location, and tight. Normally I can change the thermal pads to bigger. But first wait the answer from support. They repair it, or I need to repair. If I repair is more faster, but maybe lose the warranty. For thermal pad and thermal paste replacement. I plan to use Thermal Grizzly product. Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Thermal Grizzly Minus Pad 8

The thing is that I don't want to mess with it. It's EVGA's responsibility to give consumers a reliable card and please give EVGA owners a statement about what the real issue is if there is one.

so it seems that only a certain batch of 1080 FTWs shipped out with the faulty TIM/Thermal Pads on the memory chips? i recently picked up one; any way to tell if my card is in the faulty batch?
also, if we get the thermal pad mod kit and install it ourselves, does this invalidate our warranty on the card? i haven't seen an official response on that.

So, I checked my 1070 FTW, all pads are touching memories and VRM.
My card uses samsung memories, so its early in production line.
Even so, I'll put those pads when (if) they arrive, Better safe than sorry.

I do not trust more in EVGA after this kind of problem, as suspected if such cooler was efficient now i have not, to start the GPU heatsink blocks the direct airflow in VRAM sink now see problems with thermal pads that have not contact, ultra low TDP, a lot of energy phase for anything.

iirc when you have more phases and so more vrms those should be cooler than having less power phases like the reference pcb
so i don't understand why the ftw cards are so hot... maybe it is really because they don't have enough cooling on those parts

so the issue is that not all of the memory pads on the memory chips and vrm are touching the support plate? here's a pic from thg review with stock pads, which one is EVGA sending? i'm using dual GTX 1070 FTW in sli, my top card usually hovers around 83C and bottom around 74C with no issues, no OC, but i ran both with 2025/8600 for some time as well with same temps and no issues

Has anyone tested 1070 FTW temps via infrared?
There was 7 takes the last one being Battlefield 1 at 99% gpu usage and 42% fan speed the GPU core and VRM were 72.0 C and 86.3 C, respectively. (+14.3 C) and that is fine i am going to run a custom fan profile on my card when it gets here as 42% at max load kinda low To be honest. Also would not use furmark on these cards EVER!

Adding more phases does not reduce heat.

The pads they're sending go on the back plate, not the top plate.

have applied additional thermal pads between the backplate and the PCB and between the baseplate and the heatsink fins, with the results shown below. We will offer these optional thermal pads free of charge to EVGA owners who want to have a lower temperature.

Does this affect the 1070 ftw? I dont have money to buy thermal paste right now because broke q_q
So you bought a $400 card and don't have $5 for thermal paste? This thread keeps delivering.
My cards were bought for me. I didn't buy them, don't make assumptions. I just don't have money in my online account to buy paste and wont for 2 weeks lol. I guess i'm just waiting.
It's still ridiculous. Maybe you should have asked for money instead to put in the bank so you can afford a meal or... a $5 tube of paste.

Or you know, these enthusiast grade cards shouldn't have these issues in the first place, they shouldn't be catching on fire.

EVGA needs to release FTW hydro copper (blocks only) to customers soon. I know it won't solve everyone's problem but certainly will solve mine. I just can't wait to loop this thing. hopefully backplate will stay attached.

Zotac has TDP of 300W msi next 300w which justifies the FTW have 215W?

TDP is not power consumption. TDP is the amount of thermal energy the cooling solution is designed to dissipate.
