nvidia bans furmark simply because nvidia stock coolers cant handle it completely. even for gaming, nvidia stock coolers still are rubbish.

Meaning my numbers for my bios didnt change on my 1070sc black edition. 
86.04.26.00.70 before and after the bios process. . .
I've done bios modding before I know this is a different architecture to maxwell 
but it was faster and missing a few steps from what I and many other bios modders are used to.

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.

You have a thermal camera to monitor your vrm's heat? Although you cant monitor your vrm temperature with EVGA or MSI software...

 
Hi
The status of my thermal pad still say "Awaiting Shipment" a week ago, so how many time take to send me the thermal pad?
 
 

I think the issue is waiting for the VRAM pads, since the issue was just acknowledged. Package will now ship out with thermal paste, pad for midplate, pad for backplate, and pads for vram.

No that's the standard GPU temp. Wonder if I have a all out defective product. Didn't realize that the overheating issue was not related to the recorded temperature of the GPU.
