So i'm looking to get a gtx 1060 6gb but i'm confused by all the different brands. Which one should i get that will not overheat after long hours and is overall a good card?
Galax 1060 6gb
Galax 1060 6gb ex oc white 
Zotac 1060 6g AMP

Those are the cards around the same price range , everything else is like a 200$ ( my currency) Difference 

If there are any other cards worth the extra money please suggest.

I trust and prefer Zotac cards. Had a 1070 from them since 2016 and it's still working well

Galaxy makes the best by a fair margin, though it really doesn't matter.  Pick the one that matches your setup the best.

Want to custom loop?  Ask me more if you are curious

How much do these cost?

 

The Galax EXOC is the best in terms of quality of the board, but they shouldnt matter for a 1060.

Have been using a 1060 single fan edition by EVGA.

I am really amazed that how quiet and cool this card run.

 

Really exceeding my expectation about this card. 

 

 

If it is not broken, let's fix till it is.
