EVGA 1070/1080 (FTW) Thermal Pad Replacement Guide | The Don Tech
EVGA previously announced overheating issues in some of their 1070 and 1080 Graphics Cards featuring the ACX 3.0 Cooling system. This video serves as a comprehensive guide on how to obtain the optional thermal pads and then install them in your EVGA 1070/1080 FTW (or non-FTW) versions of the card. I'll walk you through the entire process, from disassembly to reassembly, to help you reduce VRAM temperatures and ensure your GPU runs optimally.
