You see this a lot with AMD and Nvidia cards using the same cooling solution but EVGA has no need to do that because they are exclusive to Nvidia. This might sound obvious, but a lot of cards don’t do this because they use universal coolers to fit across multiple products. The end view of the card shows us that the heatsink runs the full thickness of the card from the PCB all the way to the fan shroud. The cooler design on the GTX 1060 SC uses two copper heatpipes that run from over the GPU out towards your motherboard and then over to pull heat out into the left and right sides of the heatsink. Given the ITX length and the normal height, this card should work really well in the extremely small form factor cases that have trouble with the “ITX” cards that use height to fit cooling. The single fan is a little smaller than the Zotac and because of that, the card is also a standard height where most of the cards are getting taller and taller. In the center where most companies put their logo in bright colors EVGA has just etched their E and it is only visible from an angle. Even the fan itself is a little simpler than normal. The silver grills are a small but nice touch that doesn't take away from the clean design. They did, however, slip in two small metal grills over on the left. ![]() This design is actually very close to previous generations with the black shroud with a curved up lip around the fan. It also doesn’t really pull too much from the EVGA 10 designs that had a lot of metal attached on their fan shrouds. EVGA went with a shorter ITX form factor for this card. Hope this helps.Well, immediately it is clear the EVGA GTX 1060 SC is nothing like the Founders Edition GTX 1060 or the Zotac 1060. A 1060 that is watercooled will certainly help it. You will need to input your card data on the EK Configurator to know for sure. Watercool also makes a GPU Die only block again same story. You would also have to buy a mounting bracket for the hole spacing to fit the Thermosphere. You can also look at the EK Thermosphere blocks which cool only the GPU Die and you have to do passive cooling on everything else, it comes in a acetal or acrylic. There is also Bitspower block for the Founders Edition 1060 (BP-WBV1060-H-RGB), not sure if its available anymore but that is the part number) and there is Bykski that make waterblocks for the 1060 to. For the GPX though you will need to know the part number since those heatsinks are machined for different PCB's. ![]() Seeing as though they dont seem to have a 1060 unit bundled, you could get the heatsink separate and then get the AIO parts. The GPX Pro has a GPU block that's on the Die and the rest are passively cooled via a giant integrated heatsink, its a pretty affordable unit and would probably work very well for you. You can get an AIO like the Eiswolf GPX Pro, but to be honest I would not recommend Alphacool, they have sub par quality in my opinion. It all comes down to your Part number on card, But from not knowing what model it is, it makes it difficult to determine if there will be a conflict. Ejonesss i am trying to ask if i can do a hybrid cooling where a water cooling can be done only to the gpu while the power and memory chips are handled passively but i guess there are no engineers and technicians in the forums. ![]()
