Three days ago we reported on a devastating issue plaguing EVGA’s Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 & GTX 1070 cards causing them to catch fire. The issue centers around the voltage regulation modules inside EVGA’s dual fan GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 cards which are very susceptible to overheating. Primarily due to a design oversight which left them without any proper cooling. The extreme thermal conditions these VRMs are subjected to overtime ends up in them failing, often in a dramatic fashion, engulfed in flames.

EVGA Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 owners have been reporting instability issues, occasional black screens and hardware failures over the past couple of months. The issues led to investigations which have pin-pointed the voltage regulation circuitry as the culprit behind the electronic gremlins that users have been complaining about. The issue affects all of EVGA’s dual fan Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 and GTX 1070 cards except the Classified. These include the GTX 1080 and 1070 ACX, SC, FTW and FTW DT models.
