Modded GPU cooler

[Rumman]

I have a blower-style GTX 1060. If I replace this blower and install a fan (AMD cpu cooler fan) on the heatsink of the GPU, temps get better. But I am worried about the VRMs temps. This card doesn't have an onboard vrms temp measure sensor and I don't have any infrared thermometer to check it. So, should I use the mod cooling solution for better temps or stick to the stock blower cooler?

Just get 2 fans like 2 80 mm or 2 92 mm fans on there and you should be fine. The 1060 is not that power hungry to begin with. If you want to go a step further, Artic cooling has some nice GPU heatsinks available. They are somewhat price though and take up 3 slots. You can also use 120 mm fans if you want to, just make sure you can somehow mount them for good contact. You should be able to run them at 7V near silent without the need for a fan curve (which would require soldering them onto the original fan header on the pcb.
