So far my EVGA GTX 1070 is working fine it heats up to 70 to 71C during gaming but when not gaming around 40 C.
But that's not the VRM area temp though?So far my EVGA GTX 1070 is working fine it heats up to 70 to 71C during gaming but when not gaming around 40 C.

Source? EVGA EAR has always been an upfront cost of the card since they are cross-shipping. Otherwise there is nothing stopping you from not returning the old card and just keeping both. Once they receive the card they refund your money. Not a big deal with a high limit CC, but for those only with debit it matters.
My Source? I've used Evga EAR twice in the past
No. It isnt exactly what you said.Thats exactly what I said it did, I've used it twice in the past.
As someone who just did the Advanced RMA option, can vouch only had a $1 authorization charge on my CC which was refunded a few days later.
Since EVGA is offering the same Advance RMA option, I'd strongly suggestion anyone having doubts should just go ahead and do it. You won't be out of a card outside of installation time.
Unfortunate that cards were produced without thermal pads on the VRMs, but it seems like eVGA is going above and beyond fot its customers. Very nice.
Seems like 200 to 250 rpm added card does seem cooler!

It was an EVGA Advance RMA (EAR), which it seems they are offering to ACX owners now too. Only downside was they use UPS ground shipping, and when they say 3-5 business days trust me they will do everything in their power to get it to you in 5-business days.Was it called Advanced RMA or Cross Shipping? Guessing Advanced RMA. Just wanting to make sure sorry.
How long did the whole process take ?
I think the solution is don't play furmark, its not a fun game anyway.
It sounds to me they are saying , hey the bios update and thermal pads are not nessasary and if your not comfortable with doing your own bios update and installing the free thermal pads, you can cross ship your card for a new one for free.

It sounds like the pile on effect, there was possibly a problem with a few cards and Evga/Nvidia haters went out and made people panic.
From the pics, it looks like the mosfets stick out higher than the VRAM chips which is why there was bad contact with the memory chips. So EVGA made a choice probably took out mosfet thermal pads for their ACX cards to get good contact with the memory chips, instead of getting a mix of thinner/thicker thermal pads to get proper contact with all the chips.
They must have seen this in their internal testing though, why would they still ship them like this?
Can you hear the difference ? and what is before and after ?

Whole ordeal two 2 weeks.
10/01 (sat) asked about an issue I was having in a support ticket, based on what I red on reddit/evga forums, ticket created.
10/03 (mon) 3 steps required for RMA process (one included providing Credit card for verification purposes)
10/04 (tues) all steps completed.
10/05 (wed) card shipped from EVGA
10/11 (tues) I received card. Benched it, tested, happy with it, had 14-days to return old one.
At no point was my credit card charged more than $1, which was refunded.
Furmark is not the only problem. Running a 3dmark benchmark will cause the VRM temps to shoot to 96C. See the previous post #60.
Its not just a few cards since your previous post quoted:
EVGA ACX 3.0 GeForce GTX 1080, 1070 or 1060 cards with the following part numbers:So its every EVGA Pascal card with the ACX cooler including 1060 models because they do not cool the VRMs. And from the OP, EVGA took quite a bit of prodding before taking action.
