Why buy that 1060 when it's for an ITX build? Temps for those kinds of cards are never good since they are normally used for HTPC builds and the like. You ended up spending more by buying that card and a new cooler versus buying a decent 1060 card.
I will chalk this one up for lack of knowledge, my last PC build was over 10 years ago, so when I built this new system two years ago, this card was available and again not knowing how it performs, i went ahead and bought it.
Don't get me wrong, I like the GTX 1060, it's the little engine that could. runs games with ease and when I edit video, the CUDA core count is great for effects and realtime editing.
The card I bought before this was the GTX285 from BF tech, so yeah that's how far back I go lol. Now I know.
