This is a actually a mark against amazon. This is a great card and generally evga has a great reputation. However, evga did not initially install necessary thermal pads as laid out in nvidia's specification which led to serious overheating issues that could potential damage your gpu. EVGA offers free services to fix the card, but you have install the thermal pads yourself. A decent solution for those who already bought and installed their card, but I will not do that on a brand new card.
Cards sold after Nov 1 are supposed have this issue fixed. I purchased my card on 1/11/17 from amazon and upon registering the serial # I found my card contained the defect. Its absolutely unacceptable of amazon to continue selling defective versions of this product. There are reports of the card catching fire. If you plan on buying this card, do so from another website. Or buy a different manufacturer's version.
