But how else will I ignore all my problems instead of fixing them?!

That wasn't even close to my experience. I called them after the issue was known and told them I was having all the issues and they told me that I could either send the card in for them to fix and send it back or have them send out the pad and email me a link to download a file to install. I obviously took the option where I could continue to use my computer. I even asked if there was any way for them to send me a fixed model and I send it back and they said they just didnt have the inventory because so many cards were hit with it. I haven't purchased anything EVGA since.

I have decades of computer repair experience under my belt so that wasnt a big deal. If I sent it in I would have been without a card for weeks. It was thousands of cards that got hit with it so they didnt have them to send prior to you sending yours in like more recent problems have done. This was like 6 years ago.

This happened with my 1070. They sent me some thermal pads and had me download a different bios for the gpu. Now that im thinking about it there is probably a reason that card died.... F
