Hi
 
I purchased a gtx 1060 6gb gaming in september and have noticed the temps seem high during intensive gaming. The highest i have seen is 87c with 77-82c being the average. I read that there were a few bios updates since i purchased the card, one related to compatibility with AMD chipsets and another to increase fan work and reduce temps. I would very much like to implement those updates and any help would be very greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    Hello,
     
    we would be happy to provide you with a vbios update however for this request we will need for the product to be registered to your EVGA account.
     
    Once registered you may email support@evga.com with your request and we will be able to assist further.

    Thanks!,
     
    i have already contacted support and received the latest bios. I have a few additional general questions tho....
     
    I am concerned about the card sometimes running a bit warm, usually at exactly 82c. The highest peaks recorded have been 87c, that's happened twice in 6 months or so. It was my understanding that a bios was released with higher fan speeds as discussed here: ttps://forums.evga.com/Update-11916-with-NEW-BIOS-EVGA-GeForce-GTX-108010701060-PWM-Temperature-Update-m2573491.aspx
     
    However, my card was not included although it suffers from the same problem as cards on the list. In another thread there is a long discussion about the 0db fan update and an original bios that had the fan always on. When i received my card it already had 0db bios, but without the amd fix. I was wondering if the original bios had a more aggressive fan curve? i'm not concerned about noise so 0db is not important, and although it would be nice if the mainboard recognized the vender, ultimately i just want to get temperatures down a little. Also any info about max operating temps and what the card will do when it overheats would be great.
     
    Thanks!

    I'd suggest running a custom fan cruve inside msi afterburner if your card is getting too hot. 94c is the max allowed temp for the 1060. The card will throttle/shutdown when the card starts overheating.

    I have EVGA precision X-OC for custom fan curves, if I choose to implement one. It was recommended by EVGA support. Thanks for the suggestion.

    can anyone confirm that vbios version 86.06.0e.00.62 is the most up to date for 06g-p4-6161kr? I think the vbios update may have failed, and i didn't note the bios version number currently running beforehand.

    You'll need to call evga and ask them if version 86.06.0e.00.62 is the latest version or not. http://www.evga.com/about/contactus/

    Hi Sajin, thanks for responding, i have been in contact with support via e-mail, but i didn't hear anything back from them yesterday. I sent another request for the bios number so i'll probably just wait for a few days to see if support responds, they are likely just very busy. If i don't hear back i'll definitely call them to verify as you suggested. Thanks again for your help, appreciated.
