You think you are a pro, or work in a place where they make GPU's? 
This issue is absolutely not a project failuire. No card has been damaged due to this issue. This issue is handled proffessional by EVGA. Your post is just another attempt to put you in the spotlight and have your 2 minutes of fame.
Your solution is rubbish. Why? Because the thermal pad solution and bios update works just great. There is no heat issue and people are playing games just like they would normal. The cards work just great without issues.

No offense, but I'm still waiting for you to show your EVGA accreditation's to give some weight to what you're saying.

The Furmark problem is not just EVGA, but all Nvidia cards. It's well known that Nvidia has warned against Furmark for years. Why?  Because you'll never push your GPU to the limit when playing games. Don't blame it on VGA, blame it on Nvidia.

I'm focusing on EVGA right now, do you mind. If EVGA do not put it in his commercial/propaganda brochures and/or packages like with a big "WARNING DO NOT do this or that", the consumer have the right to assume and furmark all day long. 

As I said, this is not isolated to EVGA. So stop posting *REMOVED*. Your argument is rubbish. ASUS, MSI and others haven't put in a warning sticker in their products, so why should EVGA, when it's well known that it is NVIDIA (GEFORCE) that warned against Furmark.

"Furmark is an application designed to stress the GPU by maximizing power draw well beyond any real world application or game. In some cases, this could lead to slowdown of the graphics card due to hitting over-temperature or over-current protection mechanisms. These protection mechanisms are designed to ensure the safe operation of the graphics card. Using Furmark or other applications to disable these protection mechanisms can result in permanent damage to the graphics card and void the manufacturer's warranty".

They are not the one rejecting the fault on furmark right now, do they?, no they are not. And the post is from 2011, furmark do not Override the protections mechanisms in place today (at least for the GPU ship). Sorry but you won't go away that easy. I won't even point out that the answer come from Customer Care...which is another debate really.

You are the one who should put some weight behind your statement. You started the post. I didn't.
I am just a customer. I have not seen one card being broken by this issue. If you have some knowledge about a card (1060-1070-1080 EVGA) that has been damaged by this issue, please post it. If not, you are just trying to discredit EVGA for personal reason.

GEFORCE has not changed their policy against Furmark since 2011. EVGA does not reject the fault on Furmark. Please post some documentation that Furmark doesn't override the protecion mechanism today. Manuel Guzman is representative from GEFORCE and NOT EVGA.

+1, in fact, all the topics on reddit are about vram with default, no ?

So there isnt a real and 100% verified case about this vram overheating "issue"... 
Because it seems also that everybody who had a problem with an evga right now claims directly that this is the fault of overheating vram, etc... etc...
 
Maybe it's your hardware, maybe the card is defective like it can be with electronics, maybe... 

For the moment, it's a mess because we are making one ! The situation is not perfect but it's worst because of us !

I thought i was the one with paranoia disorder, glad i'm not alone. Anyway a ticket is open since a week now and there is nothing relevant in the answer i got. You wan't it to stop? fine, ask EVGA to speed up the process.

Using this line of thinking, EVGA should put on the gpu box: "Don´t use the GPU as a frisbee. Otherwise it may harm your product and warrant may be void". Seriously, you install anything in your system just because democracy allows you to do so? Freedom is not excuse for dumb behavior. Nvidia (not EVGA) warned about using this software and it´s use must be done only by people knowing what their doing. When a high-end GPU is made, the end use for that is 95% in games and 5% for professional user like CUDA processing and things like that. The overclockers (professisonal, not script kids) stays in the 5%. So, yes, people can use this furmark-whatever app all day long, but at least be prepared for the consequencies and don´t blame anybody else for your bad choices.
 
Again, EVGA made clear that heir architecture has it´s flaws, and i complete understand the harm it may cause to our expensive toys. But they are working on it. In many fronts, and one of them is educating people with what they can and can´t do with their gpus.
 
Good day to you all!

Actually it is stated for the funny frisbee analogy, in the blackbox generally phrased as "not used for purpose intended or Not Used as Intended" (even with that in some countries consumers are covered thought)
 
Unfortunately for EVGA "softwares" do not enter in this box. Because the cards are specifically "Intended" to compute. If not specified otherwise in the propaganda.

Why is my thermal pad taking so long.....
I'm hitting temps of 85c in lower settings. Just bought this hunk of crap a few weeks ago, thinking about taking it back.
