I don't understand, if the stoping and starting can affect the fan life why the new models come with this bios?
I've checked mine with the XOC and the fan was at 0%!

Think about it- the fan starting only when you game heavily compared to starting everytime you turn on your computer/resume from sleep. Which number is likely to be higher?

 I understand that Kirosia, but the other comments here made me feel a little insecure. They've also send me the update with the fan always at 20%. Which do you think is the best option?

Set a custom fan curve. Or you can use one of the presets. My GPU would hit 60-5C with the default settings (0% at idle) on a certain game, but with the aggressive preset, it hits 45-50C. I currently keep it on aggressive, the increase in noise hasn't been an issue yet.

But in order to do this the program should always be working, right? The problem is that I use Linux most of the time (as a matter of fact I use Windows only to gaming and some Adobe programs), and the EVGA software is Windows only : /

I need GTX1060 SC 6163 fans always turn the BIOS in the standby

Hello.
Installed yesterday the new BIOS on my EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC (06G-P4-6163-KR) and sounded like a jumbo jet while in heavy load (gaming).
Temperatures were idle at 40~43 ºC with fan at 22% (800 - 900 RPM) Load 70 ºC with fan at 65% (2500 RPM)
 
Way to solve this was to use a custom fan curve with max fan % at 44 (~1700 RPM) and underclock the GPU and memory by 200Mhz
Note i have a Silverstone SG13 and the airflow in the "shoebox" is limited.....

Wow. With my Define R4 case, my SC does ~30C idle (to be fair it is like 50-60F out) and 45C load (Tomb Raider) on aggressive fan curve (old 0 bios). And the noise isn't an issue. I'm definitely gonna hold off on updating the bios.

Hi,
From what I've read above there are 2 options now?
0 RPM or 20% RPM at no load?
I'm under the impression that I've got the 20% RPM version from support: (86.06.13.00.60 origional BIOS)
 

Yes, you have the 20% BIOS. (In fact, the actual minimum is 21%).
 
And for the others: yes, maximum fan speed has been increased a 50% more. So if 100% was 2600RPM, with the last BIOS 100% is 3900RPM.

Where can i download the newest BIOS for 06G-P4-6161-KR vga card? It is removed in the first post, and i didnt find it in the new BIOS updates topic. 

You need to open a support ticket and ask for the 0RPM or 21%RPM BIOS. (if this applies to your card)

Successfully i got a new BIOS update (86.06.27.01.60) for my 06G-P4-6161-KR card from the EVGA support. Why dont you post its link here or in an other topic? It should be very useful for every 06G-P4-6161-KR owner.
My idle GPU temperature was 43 °C (0 RPM) with the first BIOS release, now with the new one, it is just 32 °C (625 RPM) and It's still very quiet.

Thx EVGA support team! 

That's my BIOS too and it's a great one!
 
About the download, from model 6163 you can download it from the official thread: http://forums.evga.com/Update-11916-with-NEW-BIOS-EVGA-GeForce-GTX-108010701060-PWM-Temperature-Upadate-m2573491.aspx
 
But for models like your (6161 you still need to contact them directly). Maybe you model (6161) is older than mine (6163), bought at the beginning of October. However mine is hotter: 39ºC at 29% fan speed (idle but browsing).
 
Regards!

I own the model 06G-P4-6161-KR with the following Bios: 86.06.27.00.60
Would you like to know how I can get the most current Bios of this card?

File a support ticket to find out. EVGA will want to know the exact model number and serial number for each card. Do not try to flash all cards to the same BIOS. EVGA manufactures the cards with the ability to change various card components to different equivalent components depending on component supply availability. It is likely that a BIOS version on one card won't work on another card which currently has a different BIOS version. Usually the BIOS version difference is because a different brand or model of memory was utilized. If you try to use a BIOS designed for Samsung memory on a card with Hynix memory, or vice versa, the card might stop working properly. In other words, the BIOS versions are probably different for a reason. If you are looking for a BIOS update, always contact EVGA directly. For what it is worth, BIOS updates are rare and are almost always optional. BIOS version differences are almost never noticeable in regards to the card's use.

Hi, EVGA Staff, 
 
Im'm having this problem were my GPU (GTX 1060 SC 3GB) temps are high while on idle, temps roam between 48 and 51 degrees Celsius, while ambient temperature is 15 degrees, my case is well ventilated the GPU gets cold air from one side of it, and exhaust hot air from the front, rear, and top. (is an Skyreach 4 Mini)
 
Can you please send me the modified vbios where the fan is always on? getting worried at this temp... i've open already a support ticket but no luck.
 
Thank you!

I bought a used GTX 1060 6GB today and saw that I have another bios on it. Is that the last one or is there a newer one?
 

Would be a good question to ask evga support... https://www.evga.com/about/contactus/

Yes, I need something built in because PrecisionX is close to use 20% of my CPU sometimes, and there is some games that need alot of CPU.
Sometimes I think to get back my 750ti cause I cant use this 1060 6Gb at maximum capacity with POE, température skyrocket anyway and CPU usage too.
