The 1060 Strix shares the cooling solution with 1070 Strix which i own. I can only say marvelous things about this cooling solution. DEAD silent. Even with a 2.1Ghz OC. You can expect your 1060 to be always silent. Some Strix have experienced LED's color shifting (mine did too), so that's a small cosmetical issue. Despite it's huge size, it's light, won't put much stress on the PCI whatsoever, and even when it's quite long, it won't flex that much either, it has a sturdy chassy that goes all around the board. VRM's are properly cooled in 1070 so i would expect it to be the same with 1060. 

 

The armor core seems to be a bit more toasty, but it's absolutely fine as you can see here:

i can't speak for it since i never owned an MSI card.
