Hello, is there any difference between these cards' heatsinks? The SC has a slight overclock and the heatsink shroud is a different color, but I cannot find any pictures of the actual heatsinks (removed from the PCB). The images of the heatsinks from the sides seem to show they are slightly different, but I'd like to see better.
 
Do you have any links to pictures of the heatsinks? Thank you

    Yes the cooler is different. There are dual heatpipes + more copper on SC. Temp difference is about 10C. You may see a few reviews comparing the difference soon.

    I think someone also said it was the same cooler as the 960. So you can take the 960 as reference, but I'm not sure.

    Thanks, that would mean the 1060 SC looks like this 960 SC:

     
    But I cannot find an equivalent of the 1060 single.

    The 1060 non SC has a GTX 950 heatsink (similar to also GTX 750/Ti but a bit more extensive heatsink).

    PS: I haven't opened up my 1060 SC cooler, will do that over the weekend when I change the thermal paste. The heatsink is almost the same, but not 100%. There are small design variations.

    Do you think changing the thermal paste is going to make a difference (i.e. do you think it's worth it)? I'm getting SC hopefully soon.

    I have the 1060 SC single fan and dropped it in an ITX case with a 120mm feeding it and its noisy as poo... hoping i can buy a blower style reference cooler from EVGA to swap out, thermal paste didnt change anything
