Umm I believe EVGA is saying all cards manufactured in August and beyond are fixed. Not sure.GTX 1070 FTW here and I haven't experienced any black screens or excessive temps. But then again I bought my card 2-3 weeks ago so maybe they implemented some design changes since then?

The issue is tied to VRM temps which I think you need a thermal camera to check.
I've had my 1080 ftw since late july, could of sworn that the fans would stop turning due to low idle temp but now it's idling at 63c, though I just got done doing the fire strike stress test and the highest temp was 77c.
I've had a lot of evga cards and only had a problem with one ne refurb which I rma'd to evga and it worked out great.
Going to keep an eye on it now, I have no worries with evga though. (keeps going this direction of qc problems, will have to think twice next time.....sli?)
actually worried about resale value now...hm?
1080 ftw is running a Acer B6 B326HK, playing most games at 1440p till sli?
Back plates look cool, but are they cool?mrjones, I'd be asking for those thermal pads. I get its keeping the PCB warm at idle.
Their VRM temps have been horrible for several generations now and the ACX cooler has consistently been the worst custom heatsink among all Nvidia partners.Geez people are so quick to trash and dump a company that had a solid rep for ever over a mistake. This is EVGA I'm sure they will make everything right so put the pitch forks away.

It's not a heatsink, but if the components are making contact with the backplate it will act as a heatspreader. The effectiveness of which is determined by the thermal conductivity of the backplate.That's why I am leery of backplates. Never understand sandwiching your memory chips inbetween a big chunk of metal with no airflow. Backplate != heatsink.
...And how much air is actually blowing by said backplate inside the case. Too little flow and it ends up being a localized thermal insulator to the components it covers once heat saturation occurs.It's not a heatsink, but if the components are making contact with the backplate it will act as a heatspreader.

Exactly. It's a huge heat soaked chunk of metal... no I don't want that touching my VRAM. It's making temps worse, not better.
What exactly did EVGA do? Fail to tell the mindless Reddit gamer community to not run a burn-in tool that is infamous for frying GPU power delivery systems?Unacceptable that EVGA did this...For them to do this with such expensive hardware...it just boggles the mind.
Never EVGA again.
If a test that does not even stress GPU to it's limit leads to frying GPU power delivery, the GPU manufacturer should just hang himself, and then fix it.What exactly did EVGA do?

Just like every other non-controversy the teenage memesters over at PC Master Race cook up, this one will fade into obscurity in a day or two.
Because AMD did shrug and fix that to an extent.Why don't switch gears and cry about the rx480 frying motherboards again?
I think the issue is specific to the custom PCB design on the FTW SKU, but once again the internet is blowing it out of proportion. Of course, "playing" Furmark is never a good idea no matter what video card you're using.Let's all gather around for a /r/PCMasterRace /r/BuildaPC circle jerk.
The FUD is strong.
I've had my 1070 SC since EARLY. No overheating, no coil whine, no black screen issues, no crashes other than when I get a little exuberant with the boost clock slider. Either - I got a golden sample, or the issue is not as prevalent as it's being made out to be.
Course, I've never played Furmark. Looks boring and the AI is shit.
