I found Bios software to download for my Card: 03G-P4-6162-KR - EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC
There is a zip for Primary Bios and one that's called Original Bios.
What's the difference here? Which version should be flashed?
Thanks for your help!

    I'm guessing you found the files here? If yes, you need to flash the primary. The primary will provide higher fan speeds @ certain temp ranges than the original which will keep the card cooler.

    I found the files here: "
    But they look the same like the ones you posted.
    I don't really get it, the 1060 SC does not run on the ACX-3.0 but still there is a BIOS update for higher fan speeds? Also if that is what is needed, why does evag still provide the BIOS for lower fan speeds? When I enter my Serial Number on the thermalmod page it says that my product is not affected..

    Your card uses a ACX 2.0 cooler. EVGA provides the original vbios just in case the increased fan speed noise bothers you.

    That's why I wonder, I thought only ACX 3.0 cards where affected..
    Anyway, thanks for your help!
