TLDR : in extreme circumstances like low air-flow and/or extended periods of heavy usage the VRM's might go above the temperature safety limit and cause severe damage to the GPU and possibly to the equipment around it. This only happens with EVGA ACX versions and the company has already provided VRM thermal pads for DIY install, a new BIOS to increase fan curve and RMA procedures (link below).
