Any idea when the SSC and FTW models will be released? I need to replace my R9 290x soon and am not sure how much longer it will last. Not sure if I should keep waiting or just get a different 1060 that's available.

Is there a guide out there to oc the normal EVGA 1060? Right now I just have my settings at 116% power target, 205 gpu offset, and 400 mem offset. I've gotten like crashes (computer shut down, driver crashes, game crash) at like 215-225 gpu offsets. I'd only get like 2050 or 2025 at most. But benchmarking has been fine at like 225 gpu offset.

So your stable at +205MHz but get crashes at +215MHz? I mean your setting it around 100MHz faster than the SC version, what are your temps & fan speed? I think you would OC it just like any other GTX 1060.

I set my fan speeds to max and it'll reach around 78-80 around there sometimes 82. I'm not sure if its actually stable at 205 yet since I haven't played all day. But I know sometimes I'll crash on 215 after a day or two.
 
Edit: Also that video doesn't seem to explain the reasoning by setting your voltage to 50%..

I know my EVGA GTX 670 FTW card was unstable out of the box with the factory OC, underclocking it just -13MHz made it rock solid stable & I never bothered to RMA it. That is part of the reason I went with the standard EVGA GTX 1060 vs the SC version, thinking the only difference was in the firmware.
 
My GTX 1060 should be here tomorrow so I'll report back after I do a few tests. My case has good airflow but my room can get pretty hot at times, sometimes over 90F.

Is there any info on when more evga gtx 1060 sc's will be coming to europe? I've been waiting for a couple of weeks now for my evga gtx 1060 sc :(. All this waiting is going to make me insane.

What's the ETA on GTX 1060 SSC/FTW models?

So, i got my GTX 1060 Non-SC today, and not very satisfied about the cooler after quick test (I bought it because i thought it had the same cooler then the SC) And it's pretty noisy when running graphically demanding games. On Doom with ultra settings, temperature rises to about 82c, and ~80% fan.(Bios is updated) The temperature doesn't change much, even if i put the fan to 100%.
I can hear the noise clearly trough my headphones while gaming.
Idling is ok, 40-45c with 0% fan. In Fractal Design R5 case, with 2 intake fans.
I'm thinking about changing the cooler, anyone have experience/thoughts with Arctic Cooling Accelero Mono Plus? Would it fit and be improvment? 
 
The cooler would only be 35€ (40$) with mail included. Or perhaps i should just return this card..

I believe it has a reference 1060 pcb so this would fit (arctic.ac/uk_en/accelero-twin-turbo-ii.html) 
 
Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Just return it and get the SC man.
 
I have no idea why EVGA slapped the 750/950 cooler on a X60 card.

Or just return it and wait for the SSC and FTW model - which hopefully will be announced soon, but still no update on this.
I think the SSC/FTW models will be 30-50$(€) more expensive than the current 1060, which means you are basically paying the same at the end.

Is there any more information about the 1060 SSC and FTW releases? I need a new GPU by August 25th and would really like to get one of those two if they are out in time. Information on clock speeds and pricing would also be appreciated.

I'm waiting as well for them but I really don't think they will come this month. Probably end of september or mid october.
The 970 SSC 2.0+ and FTW+ were also released a few months later.
