Can you tell me if my card is affected by the thermal issues?
Kind Regards
Your Answer:
Hello,
We looked up the serial number for your particular card. It is not effected. The cards have been modified with additional cooling elements and yours had those elements pre-installed when it shipped.
Regards,
EVGA

ACX 3.0 they where reported that they catching fire !!!!! google it ....... they should be recalled
All of the cards being manufactured by evga should have that particular issue fixed by now but that doesn't rule out old stock still floating around that might have the same problem. The good thing is evga are one of the best companies when it comes to aftercare and customer service

Yawn, with the amount of safety features on GPUs these days it's extremely unlikely any of them would catch fire, would probably throttle back and shut down long before any chance of it catching fire. Probably like the whole "My PS4 Pro Melted" debacle some time ago all coming from one very suspect looking photo and zero evidence....

Any decent external graphic enclosures announced at CES yet? Really would enjoy pairing something like this with my laptop

Is this card/brand okay (reliable) or should wait for another 1070 deal? (Was looking for a GPU for a long time now. Wanted to get MSI or Zotac or ASUS but this looks decent price.)

EVGA are one of the best GPU manufacturers, this price almost seems like a mistake to me, this card is £400+ usually.
It's £407.93 at Ebuyer and that is apparently on offer with £77 off :neutral_face:
I have a Gigabyte 1070 and run most games in 5760x1080 on three screens, I run 60FPS solid in BF1 on ultra so yea, very good card!

In my opinion, EVGA are the best. But if your card were to break, their RMA process is excellent.

Always had EVGA and wouldnt consider a different brand for gpus or psu. Currently using a 1060sc and its fautless, the upgrade bug has bitten me though and this is probably the cheapest this card has been.

BTW. the one on ebuyer is the `Gaming` edition. The one here mentioned is the `Black` edition. That one has a back plate this hasn`t got. Dunno if there are much other difference though.

The FTW editions were the main fire starters (not a ubiquitous problem but I like to poke fun <3 ). All "ACX" cards can get free thermal pads to stick on and have a BIOS update with a higher fan curve, however.
The problem is probably fixed in newer manufacturing of the card as well.
