FTW thermalpads issue fixed

[ManosMax13]

Soooo long ago there was an issue with thermal pads an the evga gtx 1080  ftw model.

My question is if I buy ine now form amazon will it come with the thermal pads pre-installed.

The issue was never the thermal pads but the VRM components.

EVGA got sourced components for the first few batches of cards that were not working according to their spec and started to fail before reaching the max safe temperature. The easy solution was to use the thermal pads to compensate for the lower temperature threshold but otherwise they wouldn't be needed.

 

If you are buying new one from Amazon right now, it should be fine as the issue was taken care of very long ago.

If there were still some old models with the issue on the store shelf... they were already sold because of GPU shortages, you're safe.

That was over a year ago. I highly doubtful anyone has any stock anywhere where this issue would still be present. Non issue at this time.
