EVGA GeForce GTX 1080/1070 PWM Operating Temperature Update

Recently, it was reported from several sources, that the EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW PWM and memory temperature is running warmer than expected during Furmark (an extreme stress utility).

EVGA has investigated these reports and after extensive testing, below are our findings:

  • On ACX 3.0, EVGA focused on GPU temperature and the lowest acoustic levels possible. Running Furmark, the GPU is around 70C +/- and the fan speed is running approximately 30% duty cycle or lower.
  • However, during recent testing, the thermal temperature of the PWM and memory, in extreme circumstances, was marginally within spec and needed to be addressed.

Conclusion: EVGA offers full warranty support on its products, with EAR (Advanced RMA Program)*, and stands behind its products and commitment to our customers.

To resolve this, EVGA will be offering a VBIOS update, which adjusts the fan-speed curve to ensure sufficient cooling of all components across all operating temperatures. This VBIOS will be released in the next few days and users can download it and update their cards directly. This update resolves the potential thermal issues that have been reported, and ensures the card maintains safe operating temperatures.

For those users who want additional cooling beyond the VBIOS update, EVGA can offer an optional thermal pads available. This update is not required and is preinstalled on all cards shipped from EVGA after 1 November 2016. To check if your card has the Thermal pad kit and BIOS factory installed, please visit eu.evga.com/thermalmod.

Any customer who is not comfortable performing the recommended VBIOS update, may request a warranty EAR (Advanced RMA Program)* to exchange the product to EVGA for an updated replacement.

All graphics cards shipped from EVGA after 01/11/2016 will have the VBIOS update applied.

* The EVGA EAR (Advanced RMA Program) option is available in the EU, UK, Norway, and Switzerland. Malayalam new kambi kathakal pdf. EVGA offers Standard RMA replacement options in the Middle East, Africa, India, or outside of the before mentioned supported EAR areas.

FAQ

  • Q. Which cards are supported by these updates?
  • A. EVGA ACX 3.0 GeForce GTX 1080, 1070 or 1060 cards with the following part numbers:
    GTX 1080GTX 1070GTX 1060 6GGTX 1060 3G
    08G-P4-618108G-P4-517106G-P4-626203G-P4-6365

    08G-P4-638408G-P4-6274
    08G-P4-638608G-P4-6276

    * Founders Edition, Blower type, HYBRID, and HYDRO COPPER cards do not need these updates.

  • Q. If my Graphics Card is not an ACX 3.0 design is it affected?
  • A. No, all other GPUs sold by EVGA including Founders Edition, Blower type, HYBRID, and HYDRO COPPER editions are unaffected.
  • Q. Does the VBIOS fix the temperature issues?
  • A. Yes, the VBIOS update will fix the temperature issues.
  • Q. Is my card damaged from running at a higher temperature?
  • A. No, but should any future warranty service be needed, EVGA stands behind its products.
  • Q. What happens if my card is accidentally damaged during the optional thermal pad installation?
  • A. EVGA will stand behind its customers with full warranty and EAR (Advanced RMA Program).
  • Q. What if I am not comfortable updating my VBIOS?
  • A. While EVGA has very user friendly ways to update VBIOS's, if you still do not feel comfortable, we will support you with and advanced RMA and ship you a replacement card with the latest VBIOS.

Optional EVGA Thermal Pad Mod Request

The test used in the referenced review from Toms Hardware (Germany) is running under Furmark, an extreme usage case, as most overclockers know. We believe this is a good approach to have some idea about the graphics card limit, and the thermal performance under the worst case scenario. EVGA has performed a similar qualification test during the design process, at a higher ambient temperature (30C in chamber) with a thermal coupler probe directly contacting the key components and after the Toms Hardware (Germany) review, we have retested this again. The results in both tests show the temperature of PWM and memory is within the spec tolerance under the same stress test, and is working as originally designed with no issues.

With this being said, EVGA understands that lower temperatures are preferred by reviewers and customers.

During our recent testing, we have applied additional thermal pads between the backplate and the PCB and between the baseplate and the heatsink fins, with the results shown below. We will offer these optional thermal pads free of charge to EVGA owners who want to have a lower temperature. These thermal pads will be ready soon; and customers can request them starting Monday, 24 October 2016. Also, we will work with Toms Hardware to do a retest.

Whether you're setting up new computers for your office or creating an inventory of the hardware you already have, you may need to locate the serial number for a video card in order to add that info to your system data. If you purchase an Apple Macintosh computer, you only need one serial number to refer to the entire system, including its graphics adapter. Under Microsoft Windows, you may need to look in several places to find your video card's information.

1.

Power down your Windows PC and open the computer case to check its graphics adapter closely. Look for a sticker that contains the serial number. If you're not sure which card you're looking for, check for the port which your monitor cable plugs into, and examine the card that uses that port.

2.

Uncable and loosen the video card in the case so you can unplug it from the motherboard and remove it for closer inspection. If you don't find a serial-number sticker, look for a combination of numbers etched into and written on the card.

3.

Check the packaging in which you purchased the card, if you bought it separately from the computer. Look for a sticker on the warranty card or the flaps of the box. If you sent in the warranty card, check your files for a photocopy of it.

4.

Locate the invoice for your video-card purchase. Some technology vendors list the serial numbers of the items you purchase on the paperwork that documents what you bought.

Tips

  • Use a GPU test utility (see Resources) to find out more information about your graphics card's hardware and performance capabilities.
  • If you purchased the video card as part of a PC system, contact the company that manufactured your computer and provide information about your purchase, including other serial or invoice numbers, to obtain further details about your graphics adapter.
  • Checking video card information through a Properties dialog box in Windows or other system-based means of displaying the card's name may provide inaccurate or incomplete information because it draws the details it reports from the driver software that powers the adapter, not from the card itself.

Warning

  • If you remove your video card to look for a serial number, verify that you've reinstalled it correctly before you start your system backup.
