EVGA Introduces its iCX Technology Suite - 9 Sensors on the Card
Featuring a total of 11 global patents (pending and granted), iCX from EVGA is efficiency perfected. With 9 additional sensors embedded on the PCB, a newly designed diecast baseplate and backplate, purposefully directed airflow chambers, and full control using EVGA Precision XOC, EVGA's iCX is the very definition of Interactive Cooling.
Why was iCX Technology Created?
With PC gaming growing, it is important to provide "Peace of Mind Gaming" to the user. With EVGA's new iCX technology, users can have a better understanding of their cards operation. This includes temperature monitoring on key components (not just GPU), interaction with other devices and better cooling with asynchronous fan control providing better overclocking capabilities.

- EVGA iCX Has 9 Thermal Sensors and Multiple MCUs - All 9 sensors can be display in EVGA Precision XOC and OSD.
- Asynchronous Fan Control - Separate left/right fan control including fan curve
- A New and More Efficient Way to Cool - GPU fan determined by GPU temperature. (Left Fan) Power/Memory fan determined by Power/Memory temperature. (Right Fan)
- Full Control with EVGA Precision XOC - Each sensor can be monitored in real time and displayed in PXOC OSD.
- Interactive Cooling with Thermal LED Display System - User customized RGB color and visual alarm settings
- Optimized Airflow Fin Design - Fin holes direct airflow through fins. Half open fin maximized airflow and L-Shaped fins increase surface contact
- Die Cast and Form Fitted Baseplate and Backplate - Makes direct contact with all vital components. Maximize heat dissipation with increased surface area on baseplate.
- Peace of Mind Gaming - An EVGA ONLY fuse adds another layer of protection to your card and system.

"Wow memory temp boiling hot, need to downclock it before I fry my new card......" :D
EVGA GTX 1070/1080 Overheating Issues - Company Says Thermal Pads A Solution
EVGA GTX 1070/1080 Overheating Issues Update - New BIOS Revision To Be Released
They could have just beefed up the VRM cooling and added a sensor to so it boost the second fan but why stop there. Add 7 more sensors
EVGA 1080 FTW ICX
EVGA 1080 SC ACX 3.0
EVGA 1080 FTW ACX 3.0 - added EVGA thermal solution running Furmark
And reasons why I just don't trust EVGA is all the stupid nonsense they've made like asking consumers to manually add thermal pads (why did I pay 600€ for graphic card, if I have to fix YOUR bad engineering!?). They just give me the sensation of "cheesy" vendor which I wouldn't want to touch. Same logic which I apply to other vendors like Club3D, Zotec, Manli and other (for me) so called "no name" brands. I don't care if they are a sub-brand of some graphics giant, they made stupid crap and I just don't trust them. I've seen my share of above mentioned cards and more have most moronic issues and design flaws so I proactively avoid them. ASUS, Gigabyte, MSI, these are the brands I trust and while they had share of stupidities as well, they were never that big. And they seem to engineer coolers properly.
But I want to wait to see new Radeon. Than I will decide, with GTX1080 for price of premium GeForce I can't see whole picture.
Because NVIDIA have one better chip and AMD didn't show Vega. From other side GTX1080 not worth above 500$ and that will be price when other models show up.
I have few candidates, Founders Edition, Hybrid or Vega are in game. It's not clear GTX1080 or GTX1080Ti... If I need to pay above 500 than I want premium GPU.

EVGA PR innovates that everybody needs to monitor everything, without fixing the actual problem.
Classic example of how corporate monkeys twist bad to good without actually solving the problem.
