I'm having the same problem that Xilex and bones0721 are having.  When I select the "Auto" button below the fan speed slider, it sets the fan speed to 0.  When the card heats up, the fan does not kick on.
 
If I click the "Curve" button, I can check off "Enable Automatic Fan Control" and then select a curve preset.  As long as I have PrecisionX running, the fan will respond to the changing temps.  What's strange is that the "Auto" button is still lit up as though I have the hardware-based auto mode still enabled, but obviously the fan is controlled by software at this point.
 
I was hoping that this update would set the idle speed at 0, but still automatically increase the fan speed as the card heated up using some default curve built into the card.  As far as I can tell, this bios update sets the hardware fan speed to always be 0 and forces you to always have Precision X running in order to control the fan speed.  Was that the intent?

just installed my 1060 SC on my AMD 8150 rig. I can confirm for my cpu the x.01 bios update does not work. the cmd screen flashes on for a quick moment and exits out thus not even having the chance to type "Y" to proceed updating the bios. I received mine today from New Egg and it had the original bios installed when received.
 

 
 also even though fan is running at 45% at standby, it is very silent in my R4 case

I would have preferred just dropping it to 0% at idle, but having it at least 45% at mid-60s, aiming to keep it below 67 or so. I can manually set that, so the bios update is still a good one, but that fan curve they use is strange. It doesn't even pass 25% on load now where it was 45% idle before.

I hope they can get this sorted out. Its a shame all of us AMD users are stuck with missing features.

Can somebody please confirm that the new BIOS version number is: 86.06.0E.00.62

You beat me to it. Was just about to ask for the bios version to see whether I need to update or not.

So what is it? I forgot to note down the original BIOS number.

Yeah, I agree with this. Not everyone want to monitor and tweak with software. It would be nice if the fan curve built into the card was more useful. The really basic fan curve allows the card to get well into the 70's while heavy gaming. The card idles around 59-59 degrees with the 0 rpm fan mode.
 
Also, I notice that when the card comes out of the 0 rpm fan mode, it ramps up really quickly, like it overshoots the 45% fan mark, and then comes back to reasonable rpm/decibel level. Very annoying.

I guess I'll ask JacobF for the previous bios, EVGA is usually good about that type of stuff. Usually I have headphones on when gaming anyway.
