Starting next week we will ship thermal grease, memory thermal pads, along with PWM thermal pads in the package. It is recommended to remove the existing grease on GPU and memory pads and apply the new ones. For any customers that did not receive memory thermal pads, please contact us so we can arrange it.


Wait, so will the card I just advanced RMA include this already applied?

Dear ravenomega,
 
I am showing that your request for the Advanced RMA was received and is pending processing.  I can confirm that yes, all of these optional thermal mod updates will be applied along with the recommended VBIOS update prior to shipment.

The Vram will have  touching pads is what you're saying also correct? (Memory thermal pads)

Good to know. I find cutting my own thermal pads annoying and tedious. Kinda upsetting that this is even a problem though.

Glad to hear the VRAM pads are being addressed. I assume the RMA'ed cards will be checked for this as well? I'm waiting for my RMA to ship.

Support told me this "Thank you for the reply.  There has been an update to this and we will be adding Thermal pads to the Vram as Well as the VRM.  If you wish to do the modifications yourself we can send these out to you otherwise we send a replacement card to you with these done as well as an updated VBIOS. These will be treated as an RMA per our policy that any product outside of the 30 days of purchase will be a re-certified card as these are purely optional mods we are offering and are not required."
 
This is with my "Status:  Next Step: Preparing to ship replacement product " status.
So hopefully it's applied to my card that I contacted them about yesterday for Advanced RMA.

I hope it is included, shipment might take 3 weeks to my location. Then if I discover they are not included that is another 3 weeks.

My kit was said to have shipped on 10/31. Do I need to request the revised Thermal Kit with support directly then?

Wait, so will the card I just advanced RMA include this already applied?








Properly placed and spaced thermal pads on the RAM are optional?

Thats basically what the mods in this forum will tell you. They have lost all credibility at this point.

On my 1070 sc 7 of the 8 ram chips are touching the thermal pads. So every card seems to be a different case.

I'm waiting for the thermal pads to arrive, hope the vram's are included.

we all see some inconsistencies but since evga is willing to solve the problem, although a little bid late, i shall give another chance to not just evga but myself too.
 
no offense but if you really an evga fan and have been following the whole acx series from the beginning of gtx 770, you should know and understand acx is not the top tier stock cooler from aib. unless you naively trust the marketing promotion without seeing practical reviews.
 
i personally and strongly believe that once we apply the right pads to the vram under the midplate, with the optional help from the back plate, vrm temp and vram temp must reduce to ~80c, meaning that vram and vrm can all function properly within specs (micron vram is 95c; ftw vrm is 100c).

I really hope it solves the problem. Whether I'm "really an evga fan" doesn't matter here. The acx isn't the best but it isn't terrible and these cards have great reviews and ratings. But these thermal pads weren't there (VRM) or weren't making contact at all(VRAM) and that's pretty scary.

I am wondering should samsung issue thermal pad/film to all the note 7 customers rather than recall, which literally has the same issues overheating due to poor design and bad quality control.

I also hope that the pads for RAM are included already in my awaiting shipment. Have ordered 2 Kits. 1070 FTW and 1080 Classified

The lame in this forum is pathetic.


 
How about a little decency? Someone made a little mistake, no need to crucify them for it.
 
Besides, I'm pretty sure I'm asking about something that many others are wondering about too. I'm not even sure what "Awaiting Shipment" means in this case. Have they been shipped? Is EVGA waiting for stock? Are they preparing the package?
 
You need to realize people have paid a premium for these products and have every right to ask questions. If it bothers you, just scroll past, how hard is that?
