Re: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080/1070 PWM Operating Temperature Update permalink) Thank you for the update.



Does the vbios update change anything else other than the fan profile? Meaning there is no issue on the earlier cards with defective VRM's, a voltage supply issue or anything like that?



Also I would like to request the thermal pads for my 1070 SC Black Edition. The link from earlier stated I do not have a qualifying product. How can I go about getting them? Thanks again.

I'd say you should just select the aggressive preset on Precision.

Only update on BIOS is fan profile.

I only use MSI Afterburner. Say something like 70% or 80% RPM at 65c, noisy but should keep the VRM safe, right?

Yeah. That's pretty much how the aggressive preset is set up on Precision.

What do you mean? Only PSUs have safeguards agains shorts and power surges/fluctuations. There are some motherboards that also have surge safeguards, but the PSU usually deals with it first.

One would think that new BIOS is just to make sure everyone is getting his card cooled properly without having to mess with fan curves.

If I understan well, this is just a way to force people to use a more agressive fan curve...

If you do your own curve with lower temperature it will be the same apparently.

Since being from New Zealand i'm not in the listed countries for advanced RMA i presume i have to first send in my gpu and wait for a new one to be sent back to me?

I will say if that is the case this will be my last evga product sadly.

You don't need to update your vbios if you're already running the aggressive fan curve, however, you may want to update the vbios anyways to fix the card for the next user of your card if you ever sale it.

Changing the fan curve will not also add thermal pads....

I'm already going to end up with a louder product then was reviewed and promoted i accept that but i wont be doing all these changes myself.

This is why EVGA has offered the exchange policy.

I will try using your thermal-pads and some new thermal compound on my GTX 1080 FTW. Because I never overclocked my card and used the aggressive fan profile most of the time I hope I avoided overheating the VRM's. Also thank you for including thermal compound along with the thermal-pads. :)
