- As I read  a previous post (don't remember the page) about the thickness from a mod of forum told is 1mm.
 
- On gamernexus.net write that the kit include:

• "Narrow" thermal pad for inductors: ~1.8mm x ~27mm x ~109mm
  
• "Wide" thermal pad for rear-side of PCB: ~2mm x ~56mm x ~109mm
  
• Thermal compound. Ours was 5W/mK, but the kits will vary based on supply.
  

το another point of the page write:
 
-That kit is provided free to affected EVGA customers, but you could also buy your own thermal pads (~$7) of comparable size if EVGA cannot fulfill a request. When open the link the pads thinkness is 1.5mm
 
So do we know the exactly thickness of the pads, is 1mm or 1.5mm or 2mm?

1mm

Thanks, from Jacob's post#484  forums.evga.com/FindPost/2575475
 
It depends on the card.
For FTW:
Backplate Thermal Pad = 2mm
Baseplate Thermal Pad = 1mm
 
Other cards:
Backplate Thermal Pad = 2mm
Baseplate Thermal Pad = 1.5mm

Okay it is Thursday and it still says Pending Shipment for Thermal Pads are we going to get them this week?  Seems less and less likely. :(

Ok Thanks, actually I knew the thickness for Baseplate and Backplate. But the newer additon i.e 3x VRAM pads. How thick are they?
I read a post above that said 1.5mm is good. Sounds right but I would like to be sure. ONLY about VRAM pads. Other original ones have been available thickness for ages. Thanks.

New guide up that includes memory thermal pad install

 

Are the thermal pads that are being sent out going to include the VRAM pads in addition to the baseplate and backplate pads?

Yes, that's right for any kits sent out since VRAM pads were added. But we don't know the thickness of the VRAM pads. The other two are posted everywhere.
I am going to buy and do this myself, already have 1mm pads, and 2mm pads as per GTX1080 FTW. But I don't want to buy the wrong thickness VRAM pads.
Currently sounds like 1.5mm would be good, but I'd like clarification.

I replaced my vram pads today and the stock ones on the 1070ftw appear to be 1mm. I replaced them with 1.5mm and the new ones are ever so slightly thicker.

This is somewhat annoying... The BIOS changed the fan speed so that now it's quite often between 1100 RPM and 1200 RPM. However... At that range fan motors makes somewhat annoying noise and it's much more audible than even at 1350 RPM.

So I didn't imagine it. My 1070SC has the same strange whirring noise at exactly 33% (1210rpm) in EVGA Precision. At 32% (1170rpm) and 34% (1240rpm) there's no noise. Very odd.
Thankfully on my card the fans remain below 1100rpm @64C, which is the max temp in the games I tested. Maybe because I have a sidemounted fan in my case pointed directly at the graphics card?

In my case it makes that annoying noise at 32% and 33%. So it looks like it's a "feature" of this particular fan.

My 1070SC has the high pitch annoying noise when the fan speed between 1100 RPM and 1200 RPM. Should I RMA my graphics card?

I guess that's just how these fans are. They should make the BIOS so that it jumps from ~1050 RPM to 1250-1350 RPM directly skipping that range since all these fans seem to make really annoying noises at 1100 RPM - 1200 RPM range.
 
I must say that the noise is really, really annoying though without custom fan curve.

I must be one of the lucky ones as my 1070FTW runs very cool but ive still asked for the thermal pads.

GPU might run very cool but the VRM could be well past the boiling point.

Pads status changed to "Pending Shipment", i guess they will ship soon?

Just update primary bios again and you will have 0rpm up to 55 degrees.
