According to information coming directly from EVGA's forums, it appears that EVGA's GTX 1080 FTW and GTX 1070 FTW graphics cards might have some issues with overheating which should be fixed soon.

Apparently, the issue is in the lack of thermal pads over the VRM area which makes some of these graphics cards to run as hot as 107ºC in that area.

The issue was originally detected by Toms Hardware site which pushed EVGA to investigate the issue and find out that the issue can be fixed by applying additional thermal pads between the backplate and the PCB and between the baseplate and the heatsink fins.

EVGA will offer these optional thermal pads free of charge to those graphics cards owners with such graphics cards.

If you are running on one of those graphics cards, you should check out more details via link below.
