6GB Palit GeForce GTX 1060 StormX to loud ?

[Killerbenny04]

Hey,

My budget is so small that i can only fit in the ( In germany) cheapest 1060 6gb in my pc.

The 6GB Palit GeForce GTX 1060 StormX. https://www.mindfactory.de/product_info.php/6GB-Palit-GeForce-GTX-1060-StormX-Aktiv-PCIe-3-0-x16--Retail-_1122584.html

Because it has only one fan, i wanna ask, if it gets too loud while gaming or in idle.

 

Thanks

Benny.

you should prolly wait a month or so until the market recovers a bit from the mining stuff

German here too^^

 

Do NOT buy this model. It's Garbage. I doubt the Cooler is even able to keep the card Cooled at all. EVGA Gaming (the non-SC Model with 1 Fan) has the same shitty heatsink with out heatpipes, and it's constantly in Temperature Limit of 83°C, and fans are Loud as fuck

(in German: Kein Heatpipe Kühler um die Hitze besser abzutransportieren, und keine dünnen Lamellen, für mehr Fläche. Einfach ein fetter Alublock mit entweder Alu kern, oder Kupferkern, und dick gefräste Kühlrippen. DEUTLICH geringere Fläche als ein Heatpipe kühler --> deutlich geringere Kühlleistung)

 

I had the Palit Dual version, which is a MUCH better cooler (2 or 3 heatpipes, lamellas, MUCH bigger size for heat dissipation, and 2 Fans). And i returned it 2 weeks later, because i found it too Loud.

You might get away with it, if you undervolt hard, like down to 0.8 Volt, or max 0.9 volt, and underclock a bit to like 1800-1850 Mhz~ (anything that runs stable with that voltage), to reduce heat output.

 

If you don't care about Noise / temperatures at all, you can get any.

 

I would suggest getting this: https://geizhals.de/kfa-geforce-gtx-1060-exoc-60nrh7dvm6ek-a1479075.html?hloc=de

And hoping, Mindfactory will get some in the next 2-3 weeks.

 

Or 15€ more: https://www.proshop.de/Grafikkarten/Palit-GeForce-GTX-1060-JetStream-6GB/2560416?utm_source=geizhals&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=pricesite

4-6 days they say. And the Palit Jetstream is one of the best models.

 

Or this: http://millionstore.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?prod=IDE257499

 

Or: http://millionstore.com/cgi-bin/index.pl?prod=IDE257473 (pretty much the best 1060 on the market)

Oh really? My friend has a EVGA 1060 6Gb SC, with 1 fan, but it isn't too loud and stay at around 78C under full load.

 

As for OP: If a large card like that is fine, then 2 fan ones are better.

Yes, the EVGA Gaming and EVGA Gaming SC (both with 1 fan, both look almost identical) have completely different Cooling designs ^^"

 

The "SC" Model has a 2-Heatpipe Cooler with lamellas. Look at teh procuct Pictures, between the Fan blades, you can see the differences

PC Games Hardware (Big german Magazine) had both tested.

Gaming: 3.2 Sone Loudness with 82-83°C (Temperature Limit --> Throttling!!)

Gaming SC: 2.5 Sone Loudness with 68°C

 

EVGA Released a Silent Bios, that lets the card get hotter, but instead stay more quiet. So, the Gaming SC will stay at 75-80°C, and instead be much qieter.

For References:

1060 Founder's Edition:  2.4 Sone Loudness with  73°C (Founders is MUCH better than EVGA Gaming, or Palit/Gainward StormX).

Palit Super Jetstream: 1.3 Sone Loudness with 72°C.

MSI Gaming X: 0.7 sone Loudness with 66°C

 

@ Palit StormX: Don't let the size fool you. The Cooler itself is round, it does NOT cover the whole area under the "graphic card-Case"

The Cooler itself has a similar size as the Fan itself. Everything else under the Cooler cover is "empty" space.
