Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
Unfortunately it's not how much time it takes to fix the particular problem it was sent in for, it's how much time before it gets assigned a tech to perform the repair needed. MSI is one of the quicker turnaround times for manufacturers and so you should be seeing it ship pretty soon. You can always call and see if they can provide you a status update since it's been presumably two weeks without one.

So I called MSI. He said it shows it has been received and that's basically all he could tell me. Didn't know if they might have to order a part or what. He said maybe it's just a heavy workload. So basically nothing I didn't already know.

It sounds like you have already tried everything you can try, and it does sound like you have a flaky 1070.
Without opening it up to check the heatplate / VRM / memory thermal tape / TIM coverage, I think you have exhausted what you can do.
If you are still in the purchase return period, quickly return it before that expires, otherwise you will need to open an RMA with MSI to replace the GPU / motherboard. Which will take longer.
If the retailer has another new unit in stock, ask to swap, otherwise return for refund, and find another vendor with one in stock.
Please come back and let us know how it works out

That's still sounding like a GPU problem.
The temperature sensors don't cover all the parts cooled, there might be one or two not adequately covered / cooled chips that might be overheating.
You want the GPU clock to remain high while 3d operations are going on, you also don't want random strangeness interrupting game play, that shouldn't be happening.
Return for another unit, return for refund and purchase somewhere else, or RMA to MSI if you are past your return period.
GL, and please let us know how it works out
