New GPU

People usually ask those questions before making a purchase. The cooler is a worse than the one on the Founder's edition - it's louder, the GPU doesn't boost as high and stays at about 80 degrees. There are usually better choices in that price category like Palit and Gainward. At least I hope you didn't get fooled by the 3GB 1060.

Depends on the way you have your case setup, some people prefer them, especially if they have their CPU AIO cooled, as it means no hot air for the card is dumped into the case, same with the CPU. I personally prefer blower styled, but it all depends on the way you setup your cooling

 

In terms of clock speed, relate to the post above ;)

 | CPU: AMD FX 8350 + H100i | GPU: AMD R9 290X + NZXT Kraken | RAM: HyperX Beast 2033 16GB | PSU: EVGA G2 | MOBO: ASRock 970M |

| CASE: Corsair Carbide 88R |STORAGE: 1x WD Black | KEYBOARD: Corsair K70 | MOUSE: R.A.T 9 |

SOMETIMES LOSING THE BATTLE, MEANS YOU CAN WIN THE WAR

Well it's not that bad of a cooler for certain scenarios (like SLI which doesn't exist for 1060s, using a Mini ITX case with no airflow ect.) so if you bought it a normal Micro ATX or an ATX case then...ermmm non-blower style coolers will be more quiet and usually quieter as well but blower style (non-FE) are usually cheaper as well so...meh?

Not a bad buy I guess if you don't mind a little more noise and heat with less overclocking so...:P

Looking at my signature are we now? Well too bad there's nothing here...

What's the price of let's say a custom MSI/EVGA card? If it's not a lot more then if you can, return it and get the better cooled 1060 but if you can't return it or it's quite a bit more then it's perfectly fine and you don't need to worry about it :D

Yeah yeah, that's good as well, it's cooler and a tad quieter (compared to the current ASUS turbo you have) which is always nice ;)
