According to the sticker on the box, my GTX 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 is: 08G-P4-6286-KR, which is supposed to be one of the affected cards. 
 
But when I run the update file I get the following below...  Am I doing something wrong?? 
 
C:\gpubios\6286\6286>update.exe
NVIDIA Firmware Update Utility
Version 5.323.0
*** IMPORTANT ***
Do not turn off the computer or attempt to reboot your computer while the
NVIDIA firmware is being updated. If the computer is turned off, or
power is lost, you may be unable to restart your computer.
 
Searching for display adapters to update...
 
The display may go *BLANK* on and off for up to 6 seconds
or more during access to the EEPROM depending on your display
adapter and output device, it will begin in about 3 seconds.
 
Adapter: GeForce GTX 1080 Device Path: S:00,B:01,D:00,F:00
Board is incompatible with firmware version 86.04.17.00.80.
No display adapters were found that are compatible with this update.

First you are not on a AMD chipset mobo right? Secondly if you are trying to flash Primary make sure you have the correct Primary file and are you sure you are on Master BIOS?

Yeah I'm on a AMD chipset mobo.. (Gigabyte GA-990FX-Gaming). How do you tell which BIOS you're on? I'm assuming I'm on Master Bios, because I've never edited any
settings on the GPU card..

Stop there and reread the main post in this thread :P you need to contact support for help on a AMD chipset. And you tell which one you are on by the switch on your card. There are two positions for Master and Slave

Edit: Well i was trying to upload an image I previously used to help another user with. But the server seems to not want to take uploads. But if you go to post #999 you will see the image from my previous answer about the switch

And just to be clear if anyone else sees this im refering too...

Q. I have an AMD chipset motherboard, and the flash is not completing. What do I do?
A. Please contact (theres an email on the first page for support that i can't link here), this will require a special update.

Technically the thermal pad provides the most thermal reduction out of the two according to tests by gamersnexus. The left photo below shows ONLY the thermal pad fix (no VBIOS change or custom fan curves) This alone reduces the temperature from 109C to 85C in their testings. Adding only the VBIOS instead reduces from 109C to 95C. Adding both (as shown in the right photo) reduces from 109C to 81C. This means that the thermal pad (according to their tests) is the better solution. Whether the tests were properly performed or what other factors exists is a completely different question of course.

Just so its easier to read....

Change after VBIOS ONLY: 109C to 95C
Change after Thermal Pad ONLY: 109C to 85C
Change after BOTH: 109C to 81C

You may keep in mind that those temps are taken in a 22°c ambient in the scenario / Opened case. Unpatch (no bios, no pads)  in a close case environment the VRMs temps got measured from 107°c to 114°c with a probe, heard of thermal runaway?
Also the NCP81382 have a recommended operating condition of -40° min to 100°C max* (check the datasheet  In On Semiconductor website).
 
*Functional operation above the stresses listed in the Recommended Operating Ranges is not implied. Extended exposure to stresses beyond the Recommended Operating Ranges limits may affect device reliability. (extracted from the PDF)

Can anyone tell me what the Bios version should be after the update?
When I applied the update my screen when black, and after 10 min of waiting I rebooted.
 
No idea if 86.04.3B.00.82 is the updated version, or if applied the update is failing.
Don't want to try again and risk bricking the card for no good reason.

That is the correct version in that last bit you added in the edit.

Strange that your screen went black though

I actually don't know anyone with Intel, and i did get the special update just recently. thanks.

Good to hear bud. Let us know how it goes. please?

Its not working. I did everything in the instructions, and when i check the BIOS version its still the same. is there any other fix to this?

No idea about the '5 day rule', I never heard of that. But that  hardly proves that I am in the employ of EVGA regardless. It was a supposition on my part.
I had a thought though, why don't you take your campaign here 
These are the guys you need to complain to. You would be doing EVGA and their lawyers a favour. Well, maybe not. The last thing they need is the rantings of a crazy person to try and build their case.

Sure..., anyway i would go on onsemi if my Card wasn't branded EVGA, no doubt about that.

Well that is good info, but as it states their, "MAY affect device reliability". not WILL affect device reliability. we all know manufacturers instate a certain bit of padding in the tolerances.
Not trying to get involved with the argument here, just pointing out fact.
