Your Question:

Hi

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.

Very good price, hot!

ACX 3.0 they where reported that they catching fire !!!!! google it ....... they should be recalled

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.)

i have a 1070. really want a vega card now though.

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.

Hot price :smiley:

Hmmm do I bite or wait on more news about Vega or hopefully see a price drop when the 1080ti comes out.

Good price but yeah Vega. Also doesn't help I have a freesync monitor too.

Hey Keyboard Warrior get the facts right before you split out you own opinions without research.It is well know (for people with knowledge) that they had been catching fire, loads of evidence !!!!

Now OOS until the 11th, but I bit the bullet and got one.
Currently running a 770 but just bought a 3440x1440 ultrawide monitor, so games can't do native without slowing to a jerky 25fps.
Hopefully this will allow me to get back to Ultra settings and 60fps..
And maybe VR. Maybe.

Using a 980ti I suppose my only move should be a 1080ti?

Did you even watch that video?
There's more evidence in a nun's pants of sexual activity than evidence of cards catching fire in that video.

Out of stock now.

thanks for the post i have gone for this will see what its like

scoot

Fire nah, heat yeah

Good price for an EVGA 1070

Price up to £477.07. Available for pre-order at £336.90 under "Other Sellers".

Went for it, to replace my dying R7950, bought under "other sellers" which is sold by Amazon.co.uk

bought, justified it on the basis of moving to gaming at 1440p so worth doing now at this price.

Will this be compatible with a P8Z77-M PRO and a OCZ ModXStream Pro Series 600W? It's looking like it will be as I've seen other builds, a second opinion would be awesome (:

There is so much claptrap on the net about overheating this and that - half of it from fan bois from the other camp - the PS4 Pro is a classic example. Supposed to melt apparently - my experience of the Pro is that it is so cool I could probably use the air coming out of the back of it to cool my gaming PC! ;-)

​Discount? maybe they will offer only 10% above RRP for 980ti owners haha

I think they may give us some free hours on their incredible new game streaming service. Don't hesitate and sign up as soon as possible to avoid disappointment :smirk:

Price is now showing as £477.07 for me now, checked it first and price was £336.90 clicked the link again to buy it and price is up? or is it just me?

Ha ha ha it's is nvidia after all I wouldn't be suprised :stuck_out_tongue:

​Lol second option seems more likely :stuck_out_tongue:

Btw. just checked it now on amazon and it says back again for the same price. Might have to search a bit for gtx 1070s but it`s the same. 4 left on stock. Grab one if fancy it.

Has this card got no back plate ?

Sorry did not see your post above about this vs another evga card that has a back plate

price made me go for this i now am thinking wtf as i did want another card and its only £70 more so what to do what to do ahhh

or is this just that thing what was it , Buyer's remorse :disappointed:

To be honest I went for this version as well as this was on sale. All the rest 1070s are still £380+ or £400+ atm. So I am hesitating about this as well but I don`t think so there are much difference between any of the 1070s with 2 fans. They all have the same chip and overclock the same. Only difference on them are the cooling. I wanted MSI Gaming X cos they have the best cooling and materials etc. but they are the most expensive and never on sale. So might just do with this. As I said there aren`t much difference. About the backplate. To be honest not sure if it has any real use apart from structural strength and aesthetics. I read somewhere it might even trap the heat. But anyhow, EVGA has 3 years guarantee at least. So if you get the card can register and if any problem can fix or change it. But hopefully there won`t be any problem. Let me know how it works out for you.

The only issue I can see is if I get a big CPU air cooler and it being to close to the gfx card, what parts have you guys fitting the 1070 with?

i5-6600k with Gigabyte GA-Z170XP-SLI, beQuiet Pure Rock cooler. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/b/tZnnTW

Why would it be a problem if it`s too close. But I think there should be enough space?! No?

I think there should be more then enough space with your setup, just with a bigger air cooler it might be even closer to the top of the gfx card! It's more of a asthetic thing then a performance one.

I haven't got all my parts yet but I think it will be either;

Wow. Very nice parts!! I prefer the water cooled version. If you put that in then definitely won`t have problem with the GPU card. (Btw. if you want the comp only for games you don`t really need i7. i5 is more then enough. That`s what most people recommend so you can save money on that part. But if you don`t mind money go with i7 and water cool then definitely won`t have problem with cooling and aesthetics. Lol :laughing:

Well, managed to get 10 mins to myself yesterday evening to hook this up (single people - stay that way. Married with kids and you end up with no life!).
It's a big ol' card! Had to remove a drive bay from my case to fit in (upgraded from a MSI Twin Frozr Gaming OC GeForce 770 which fitted in fine) but that'll probably help with airflow anyway!

The EVGA software shows the fan is at 0rpm on the desktop, which is nice.
I managed 5 mins of GTA V and it didn't make a peep and run sooo smooth at 3440x1440 with all settings on Ultra or Very High. Will tweak some more when I get a chance and remember to turn the fps counter on!

Glad this was without the backplate too - as the PCI-e slot on my motherboard is very close to the RAM slots, and I'd struggle to fit a card in if there was even more plastic. I don't have a window in my case, so doesn't bother me in the slightest.

Hi

Didn't see your post, yes it was from this offer, upgraded my 1060 and moved it all into a Thermaltake Core V1 case as this card was shorter than my Gigabyte G1 Gaming :smiley:

That`s ok. :-D Was the 1060 not powerful enough? Lol :-)
