I have bought the 1060 SC 6gb 6weeks ago.
I had heating problems in the beginning whom got fixed by new bios Percision X.
After reading about the heatproblems i am a bit worried.
My serialcode does not match with the ones that are flawed...
Why would my card have better heat protection?

a friend also has this card. At the moment it is a 0 db bios installed. Does it make sense to use a bios where Fans dont stop in IDLE mode?

Hope you get an answer to this.
I've asked after the 1060 SC / ACX 2.0 single fan cooler a couple of times in the main PWM Operating Temperature thread to no response. Have since sent in a support email and will post here if I get a reply.

I do not know. I had to install Precision X to get controle of the fan rpm. You can make a fan curve in Precision X.

I think shorter PCBs are not included there because they are the original PCB designed by Nvidia, so it's used by other brands too and its supposed to not be so "faulty". But with the default OC, its heat it's higher than on the original PCB:  Anyway the "Touture Loop" test has not a lot of sense to be considered as it's done under Furmak. Furmark even doesn't use high GPU frequencies, in fact it's downloclock the card. "But, how is it possible to show more heat?" Simply because it's called a PSU virus -> it forces the GPU to over pass the TDP limit of the GPU rising values of 120%. THIS is the cause of those overheat images, and, playing, you won't never pass 116%, and usually nor 105%, as it will use the TDP considering the current frequency, but won't use the TDP as it maximum, all the time and without excuse. I have decided one thing: I will use and ENJOY my GPU until it dies, and if it "explodes" after 2 years I will RMA it and probably I will get even a better one, instead of worrying now. Regards!

Bought this model 2 weeks ago and does not come with any thermal pad on the pcb. Fan curve sucks too (0db firmware) So i put pad's by myself and make my own custom curve with MSI Afterburner. Still testing

As promised. Relieved to have gotten a response. Hello,
We are looking closely at the models of the GTX 1060 series and have not received final word on if any of those models will need any type of rework. That said for you particular model it is very unlikely that the cooler would need any changed as the card does not have a backplate or thermal pads on any VRM or VRAM as the card is designed to run with those components cooled by ambient air. That is very common for this style of card and we would expect to see no failures due to overheating on single fan 1060 models as the design limits the card to a 75w TDP, far below the 215w TDP of 1070/1080 FTW models.
Regards,
EVGA
