Hi,
I own a EVGA GTX 1060 6gb (quite old, but still giving me good results in gaming) which the fan just died yesterday. It was deadly noisy since a while ago, and to be honest, it has always been the weakest point about this model IMHO (noisy in-game, with a temperature around 80°C).
I have an opportunity to recover a fried MSI Geforce GTX 770 Twin Frozr (PCB and ) with both heatsink and fans in perfect condition. Though I know it would be a warranty-breaker in any possible ways
(since I own this card for a while, it does not make any difference anyway), do you think I could retro-fit the heatsink from the 770 to my 1060 ?
I am particularly concerned about cooling the VRMs and any non-in-direct-contact components, and of course, if the screws for securing the heatsink around the GPU are based on the same hole pattern in the first place ?
Many thanks.
