Oh yeah! I had one out of eight die on me on Sunday for no apparent reason. Didn't want to wait for newegg to RMA it and took a closer look at it.
Out of all cards I have, this one is the only 1070 that has a regular 10A FUSE (not polyfuse) marked F4 mounted on the back side right next to the PCIe fingers. It's a small white ceramic part (1206 size I think) with 10 written on it and it was blown open! No visible damage to it, just blown inside.
Today I soldered two AWG20 wires across the dead fuse and hooked up a cheap ass multimeter capable of measuring 10A DC current. The damn card works flawlessly and pulls 6.6A over that fuse (WTF!!) under full overclocked load. That's 80W of power via PCIe. I would never expect that much and now wonder how much does it pull from the 8-pin connector on the top... probably 2A?
So... to confirm, just get a multimeter and measure continuity of the F4 fuse. I think it is simply undersized for this design.
P.S. The risers I use are all V006C with 20A poly fuse onboard, but that obviously didn't help and the poor card blew itself up.
Let me know if any of you have this same fuse blown...

nice find let us know if it keeps working.

mine are flawless. most likely you all over clock them. or over power them via tdp
Many people think 110% and a high clock is okay.
the answer is it is not okay for these cards
what are your tdp settings?
80% = too high
70% = good

They all were at 65 - 70% tdp, never exceeded 75 C. I don't buy this explanation. On the contrary, ASUS 1070 Turbo @ 75% tdp are working fine since almost 2 months.
okay the asus 1070 turbo has a big-ass cooler not so much the fan but the heat sink is big.
i can not see what happened to you but as I said my gigabyte aorus can slip out of its msi afterburner settings and shoot to 100% tdp.
So I think your cards dropped the setting in msi afterburner shot to 100% tdp and fried.
all my gigabytes have third party firmware clicked if in afterburner
if on nvoc0017 they have 100 watts as setting and they hold it.
One more question did you manually set fan to 75% or 80%
if you did auto fans that can fail and these cards will over heat much faster then bigger 1070 cards..
I have more faith in nvoc0017
then windows and msi afterburner for my nvidia cards.
simply because I have seen cards go into thermal over drive on windows 7 and 10.
lastly did you do dual mining? it is way harder then single mining and if the msi settings fail these cards can fail.
Also you have 5 or 6 in a row with consecutive serial numbers it could be a bad batch.
Did you use 1 card in a real slot to see if it works?
if you did and it did not work did you try every card 1 at time in a real slot?
what is your mobo? what is your psu? what risers do you have?
Seems like you got a bad batch - I've got about a half dozen of the Gigabyte ITX cards been working fine for months, bought one-at-a-time over the last 5-6 months ago.
This can happen to any manufacturer, unfortunately.

The cards don't even get recognized by the OS, they're just dead. I think I just got a bad batch which is super unlucky but I can't attribute it to anything else...the serial numbers indicate that they were made one after the other so I think they're all from the same production run.
It can't be the motherboard or PSU because I've tried them on multiple PCs. I overclocked and undervolted them, but this hasn't caused any of my 20+ other cards (GTX 1070s, 1060s, RX 480s) to fail. I had them at +650 memory clock and 80% power using MSI afterburner.
80% is the beginning of high but not ready bad.
did you dual mine eth with another coin?
did you keep an eye on temps?
If you told me 100% tdp and dual mining I would be quick to blame you.
You need understand they are a specialty card they do not cool as well as most 1070's. But 80% tdp is not really bad.
I own
the gigabyte 1070 itx
the msi aero 1070 itx
the galax katana 1070 slim
all three of them are fine but they do not cool as well as
the msi 1070 gaming red led
the asus 1070 strix
so I can get 400 sold for zec easy with the smaller cards zero issues
the msi gamer and the asus strix will do 440 sols for zec easy
I have had msi afterburner drop its settings on a gigabyte 1080 ti aorus from 70% to 100% or 210 watts to 300 watts. I wonder if the issue is gigabyte and msi afterburner
I fixed my issue in afterburner on a settings menu i check off third party cards as an option since then the aorus does not drop settings and go to 100%.
if any of the gigabytes you have left work see if you can find the setting on the msi menus third party firmware settings overclock some thing like that

i have 5 itx 1070's been running flawless for 3+months i run default everything with 82% tdp (125w)
they = same hash rate as the G1 Gamiing with 72% tdp (125w)

Yea, the are utter shit. I bought 12 a month ago and now i have only 6 working.
What PSU are you using and how many cards do you have connected per PCI-E connector?
more likely to be your motherboard to be perfectly honest
Has anyone had problems with the short GTX 1070s? I bought 5 Gigabyte cards and they've all failed within a few days/weeks. They don't power on, not recognized by the computer, completely dead. I may have just gotten a bad batch but that seems unlikely so I wanted to put the question out there.
