I hear EVGA cards are hot right now
Nice lol.I hear EVGA cards are hot right now
Gigabyte G1.
Because it's the one I have
Nice lol.
Yeah steer clear of EVGA right now.
The factory OCd Asus strix cards are phenomenal. We tested the 1080 and its just a solid but of hardware. http://www.lazygamer.net/review/asus-rog-strix-gtx-1080-oc-review-aura-inspiring/
Founders! And get it from jet with the 15% off coupon and get it for 375
Just make sue its got a decent cooler and overclock it.
Damn, I just bought an EVGA a few months ago.
Any customer who is not comfortable performing the recommended VBIOS update, may request a warranty cross-shipment* to exchange the product to EVGA for an updated replacement.
I haven't had any heat issues. If something screwy happens surely evga will just replace it right?I think they released a bios update which should help the cooling, and if you... hold on

You can request a thermal pad kit for additional "optional cooliong" or use your warranty to have it replaced with a newer fixed model the way it sounds.
I'm still getting an FTW 1080

I've never seen anything like that...wow.
Vbios update, was it that update a few weeks ago that also fixed the micron memory thing?That's what it sounds like in their FAQ there. I've never had any issues with EVGA before, but from what I understood, EVGA has great customer service.
I'd still do the VBIOS update, though if your card is listed in that list.

Had no idea about cooling issies. I have a near launch 1070 SC and it rarely hits any higher than 60c with my fan curve. mostly in the 50s. wonder if I should even worry about it.
i believe its just the ftw edition that's heating up, i have the superclocked one and it's fine since launch
I guess I can do a switch at some point near finals week when I'm not using it.You guys need to monitor VRM temperatures, not the GPU core. "Haven't had any issues yet" doesn't mean you're safe.
The VRMs are what are blowing up after a certain amount of time since the EVGA models don't have any sort of cooling on them. The vBIOS update MAY alleviate the issue, but it's basically a bandaid fix since it's simply some additional airflow to them. You're much safer getting a replacement or installing the thermal pads.

I bought the EVGA FTW edition in September. It's been running fine since but now this thread has got me worried.
--------- VThe Superclocked 1070 isn't the one with the problem, it's the FTW ones that are fucking up.
This also affects every EVGA model with the ACX 3.0 cooler, not just the FTW edition.

From the thermal images, Guru3d concluded that the SC edition has the same potential problems on the VRM area as the FTW. http://www.guru3d.com/news-story/evga-ftw-1080-and-1070-have-overheating-issues.html
EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC vs ASUS GeForce GTX 1070 STRIX Gaming
I think is better install that thermal pads on the SC and not take risks
No, they're releasing or have released a new VBIOS update to change the default fan curve of all ACX 3.0 cards.Vbios update, was it that update a few weeks ago that also fixed the micron memory thing?
I chose evga strictly because of the fact that they're an American company.

I got the super clocked one. What do I need to do? They will ship me something?

Thanks. I'll do the update tomorrow and see about the thermal pads.
