I have a GTX 1060 6gb Lenovo from a prebuilt pc. 

My temps on idle are like 57 celsius and 78 on load I would like to replace the cooler to something like the GTX 1060 asus strix cooler and also my 1060 cooler is pretty ugly and I think the asus one looks cool. 

Now I have no idea where to buy the asus cooler or any other good cooler from good brands like gigabyte, msi etc... and if I will find one will it fit?

My gtx 1060:

You're not going to find any of the other aftermarket coolers from asus, gigabyte etc for this exact card. Most of those cards have a specific PCB with specific mounting holes for there coolers.

 

Basically your only cooler you could do is the NZXT AIO route. Basically you buy the NZXT bracket and you buy a AIO cooler that is compatible and you can use it on the gpu.

Just a example of a AIO, but the g12's page shows what is compatible.
