Best Cooler Brand

[poker1059]

Finally back on LTT Fourms....

     After seeing the release of the GTX 1000 series and the release od the nice budget oriented 1060, I'm trying to save up some money for it. 

Personally I like the look of the cards and how good their cooler is, so here I am, asking what Brand of GTX 1060's have the best coolers and best looks?

(The photo's just an example of some of the cards)

point of this post? "best cooler brand" and you posted it in graphics card, and then you give no information at all...

Hit "tab" on the keyboard and it posted by it's self... Didn't mean for that.

I like Gigabyte and Asus ROG STRIX cards but Strix cards tend to be expensive. Get a Gigabyte OC 6GB with RGB LEDs.

In my opinion, they're pretty much all the same. Just get whatever you can afford and looks best to you.

whatever looks the best to you

imo, the ASUS and gigabyte cards look pretty dank

My vote goes to EVGA, MSI, Sapphire or XFX!

I have the Gigabyte one, it's fairly quiet, but if you can, I would get a MSI or EVGA instead. The gigabyte one is mostly plastic...kind of cheap feeling.

 

Also, do be careful, there's a 3GB and a 6GB 1060. You want the 6GB one.

I did a long post about that: 

 

 

MSI Gaming is the best, no arguing about that.^^ But expensive. More in that post. ^^

I assume since the 6GB will be more "futureproof"?

Nitro 480s suck. Sapphire needs to make new 480s with a beefier cooler.

I heard mixed reviews about them, I suspect some of their cards are just bad apples...

The cooler is just too tiny which means the fans way more work than necessary which results in a very loud card.

Lets just hope we see the Vapor-X from the 290X slapped on one of them!

Well, the other thing is that the 3GB model is missing more CUDA cores than the 6GB variant. It should've honestly been called a 1050Ti or something instead of 1060 3GB. The 3GB one is a tad slower.
