First card was purchased: 06/20/2016
Second card was purchased: 08/09/2016

Both are being advanced RMA'd through EVGA.

So there are a couple issues:
1) VRM Temps (Thermal pads + VBIOS should fix) 2) VRM Voltage issues (Hardware issue, must replace card)

Here's a qoute from EVGA:
Yeah, a little bit worried about mine, but I have the regular ACX 3.0. The problem seems to be more widespread amongst the 1070/1080 FTWs.

I applied for the EVGA thermal pads earlier today, but I haven't noticed any issues at all with mine (shipped mid-September). Either my card is fine or I haven't pushed it hard enough (most intensive game is Hitman, lol). No overclocking.

There's supposed to be a new VBIOS tomorrow or something. EVGA said it only affects the higher end models, but apparently some of the 1060s have the problem too (albeit Furmark).



What a clusterfuck after the 970 cooler issue last generation, lol.
