When I registered my product on the manufacturers website there were no indications regarding my card was also a part of the overheating batch

Defective batch

I got one of the initial bad batches of cards that would possibly catch fire

Just to be clear, I understand that there are bad batches, and I don't blame EVGA for getting two defective cards (however unlikely that is)

RMA 2 swapped the thermal pad and vbios updated card from RMA 1 due to a loud clicking noise that exceeded the noise level of the fans as fast as I've seen them go (about 30-40%)RMA 3, if approved, will be the same as RMA 2 since the new card has an identical, though slightly quieter noise issue

I'm loving it!No complaints as of yet

Amazon is as great as always, still doesn't take back the frustration and time wasted
