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.

Why not? EVGA is a disgruntled customer just like you.
OnSemi are selling an inferior product.
Blame them.

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.

Yes indeed they used "MAY", a way to legally cover their back, normal behaviors coming from a Company.

Oh so GFAFS' still trying to make replies to me after he was blocked nearly 400 posts ago or something. lol Apparently it shows it to me when someone replies to him. Good thing it was the end of the page and I only caught the first sentence of it. I made it public knowledge a few pages back I blocked you. You want to post things without my knowledge in response to my posts go ahead, but don't write them in a perspective of me reading them expecting me to respond unless it fancies you knowing I won't. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Well, EVGA bought from them, not me. And if i did, i would especially take care of the Onsemi specifications and cool them properly in my Product integration.

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

I find weird the big difference (24 temps down) of temps only by thermalpads that place at backplate and on baseplate(personal opinion).
I think EVGA might reconsider and design again the baseplate with acx cooler.

I am sure they felt that they were cooling them properly. They trusted them in the same way you trusted EVGA. And by extension you did buy from OnSemi. Take your concerns to their doorstep.
EVGA share your butthurt over being deceived.
Though they are probably handling it in a more mature manner.

Well unless we are going to start throwing around claims of manufactured data and testing results id say the tests show otherwise. But that comes down to opinion and investigations and all that. If we want to go down that alley its far beyond anybody on this forums comprehension, resources, or ability to solve. Either we accept the test data given from multiple sources or we assume foul play. 

Any chance of updating the thermal pad guide pdf to include the VRAM pads too?

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

Strange that your screen went black though


 
 
Thanks! I wonder if it's because I had Surround enabled at the time.
It freaked out and went down to one display just before starting, and never came back after finishing the update.
