I also like to point out that my Precision X OC does not recognice my GTX 1060 as EVGA, therefore no k-boost or other features avaible to me. AMD motherboard here also. So no bios update either.

Please do not forget about us EVGA! I really want to have that zero-fan mode.

This is a known issue with AMD boards, we are looking into ways of fixing that, though a BIOS update to the board may solve the hardware identification issues.

I don't think my motherboard manufacturer is gonna release a bios update for my 7 years old motherboard :(

Yep, that's normal. I'm also getting those temps.

I think that the parameters of the old bios in stress and parameters of the new BIOS without stress. It's the perfect solution for EVGA 1060. Quiet and cool  for a good reputation.

The Witcher 3 83°C, not too much? I start to worry. Sorry for my English.

Is it? My normal 1060 gets to be 83 playing Warcraft and Overwatch. Normal and 0DB Bios. Makes no difference.

There is currently a bug with AMD (motherboards) that may not allow the flash to complete properly. We are looking into it.

Not in reference to this just wanted to get your attention but do these also apply to the GTX 1060 3GB or will there be new/separate BIOS files for that one?

Is that zip file for the SC version or non-SC?
 
Also, could you share it with me, please?
 
Thank you.

delete, please

MajorDuffus this is why i didn't want to share the bios i got, as for someone like yourself who knows what they doing this is fine, but if someone downloaded my shared zip for the wrong version /rev then there card could end up bricked.
 
but its ok EVGATech_JaesonW will help you find the correct bios like he did for me, thanks once again jaeson

For 3 weeks this has been going on.
 
The reading comprehension of your support team is something amazing, really.
 
Here's what I sent your support team:
 
 
 
Hi, one of your mods said to contact you in
case we/I wanted the always-on fan BIOS for my card.
 

Here is the post --

Thank you.

The Witcher 3, Battlefield..10 minutes game 83C. Gpu fan 66% or 72% it's the same 83C. I can not go down below 80C ehhh

You are not the only one Kluto (bear in mind this applies to the NON-SC version) The card overheats and reach the thermal limit of 83c (limit set in the bios by evga so the card down clocks aggressively. The max thermal limit of the chip is 94c) This takes more time to happen with the default power management in nvidia control panel... Use the "full performance mode" and this will happen almost instantly in demanding games... The heatsink on the NON-SC version can't handle the 1060 GPU... Anyone saying otherwise is either, living on Alaska in the outside, using the fan in 100%, playing light games like Borderlands (1,2,PS), Dark Souls 1,2, CS:GO (Games that don't stress this gpu greatly), or just LYING.
 
I already tested the card on 3 different builds and in all 3 the card reaches 83c... all 3 builds where massively ventilated, and the 4th test was on a open bench (HAF XB). The game for the test was, The Witcher 3 (Ultra settings, hairworks off) (Even on HIGH settings the card reach 83c)
 
Solution: Use an insanely ridiculous aggressive fan curve of like 85%+, Use an Artic Accelero Mono Plus (I know I know x.x dishing out more money for something is plainly bad design and not your fault) or if you are in the return window, just return the card and buy another model with better cooling.
 
P.S. EVGA will do NOTHING for you, even if they say "contact costumer service we will fix your problem bla bla" They will only offer to RMA the card for exactly the same model, which will have the same problems because it's the same lame heatsink or just tell you to return or exchange the card on the place you bought it... NOTHING ELSE!! How do i know? I was one of the people who got tricked with this card LOL... Lesson learned.

the 83C thing happens to me as well but is it really a problem? It doesn't seem to be effecting performance much. The games I currently play is Warcraft Legion and Overwatch. Both within minutes will cause it to reach 83C

In some games the throttling can cause stuttering, frame drops and the likes. As for the temps and durability of the card, is probably a no concern, first once it hits 83c it will throttles aggressively to not pass that mark, and second, most people upgrade the gpu before the 2-3 years marks which i think it won't be enough time to cause any damage? Only time will tell... Just enjoy the card, if you feel unsafe with those temps, buy the artic accelero mono plus and done =]

I game on a 5820K @ 4.4Ghz paired with an Acer Predator G-Sync monitor @ 1440 / 144Hz.
 
Now that you mention it I have an issue with Overwatch where my frame rate is above 80 but it feels like its below 60. I didn't think it could be the temperature as I had seen this video where he states that these cards are meant to run at 83C - on purpose. After re-reading whats been said and watching his video again I will give my card a higher fan curve and see what it does for me. 
 
 
[edit]
I would seem that the Overwatch problem is tied to the 10 series cards as outlined here: http://us.battle.net/foru...pic/20748596799?page=2
