I use the exe to run the bios update and i have the 86.04.50.00.70 On the GTX 1070 Black edition ... i didnt check what was the bios before that but its not the 01.70 one is it normal for the GTX1070 black edition or ? 

stew, the 1070 sc black edition is a single bios card so after the update your bios version should read 86.04.50.00.70.
 
bios version 86.04.50.01.70 is only for the dual bios cards like the FTW edition and is associated with its second bios, or the "slave" bios.  so it sounds like you have you black edition successfully updated good sir.

viso418, yes. if you are running a gtx 1070 with acx 3.0 cooling, i.e. non founders or hybrid edition, you should update to version 86.04.50.00.72 
 
this version updates the fan curve for for reduced PWM temps. it was released in conjunction with the thermal pad mod to address concerns regarding PWM temps. evga lists the thermal pad mod as optional, but my opinion is you should apply the thermal pads as well as update to bios version 86.04.50.00.72

Is this new version is also needed for the GTx 1070 SC black edition card ?

correct stew. this version can be found in the pinned post at the top of the page in the 10 series thread.  if you take a look you will see your card listed with a download link next to it. 

As it now seems, with the independent testing by toms hardware.de -

Us micron VRAM users could flash back from the 86.04.50.00.72 updateto the 86.04.50.00.70 listed on this thread.
 
Would there be any possible issues doing this?

Hello, just installed my 1070 FTW (08G-P4-6276-KR) but i'm in no way an expert and have never updated the bios on a GPU... so bare with me.. what I need to do is download BOTH Bios (primary and secondary), then install the primary and restart the pc, shut it down then put the gpu on slave mode and flash the secondary, restart the pc again, shut it down and then pass it to master mode and that's it??
 
Thanks to everyone in advance and sorry for my bad english

that is correct sir. if you intend to overclock the gpu leave the bios set to slave. 
 
im not sure if you will experience this but feel like ill mention it just in case you do. after flashing the primary on my ftw hybrid i shut down the pc and switched to the slave. when i started up my machine once i got past the mobo flash screen on my monitor was a multi colored checker board. i acted quickly and turned the rig off. came here for advice... on my second attempt i again got the checker board but let it run, a couple seconds later windows 10 populated a blue screen that said there was a problem with my hardware, windows was collecting data and restarting. i let it, after the restart it booted fine to the desktop with no issue. i flashed the slave bios, restarted and started over clocking. 

you may not experience the same thing but considering mine did it twice after switching it on the gpu i dont think it was a fluke. so i just wanted to let you know so if you do it wont completely flip you out like it did me. :) just let it go to blue screen and restart and it should boot up fine based on my experience. 

Could someone please tell me (if there is a way) how to determine which memory my 1070 SC has, Samsung or Micron, without removing the cooler? Thanks

there is a free program called TechPowerUP GPU-Z. its free and a small dl. just run it and itll tell you what memory brand yours has along with other info like driver version, clock speed etc etc.
