The cooler’s fans itself comes with specialized fan design and spins in opposite directions to each other in order to provide optimum cooling for the card.
In addition to that, the fans on GTX 1060 G1 Gaming could also deactivated automatically if the card’s operational temperature is deemed low enough.

Built with an 8-pin power connector, the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming is also equipped with a LED underneath the said connector which help inform users if there are any power irregularities happening to the card. It also comes with high-grade chokes and capacitor alongside 6+1 power phases and metal back plater to ensure the card’s durability.
Not to forget, the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming also comes standard with higher clock speed than the standard NVIDIA Founders Edition card at up to 1847 MHz directly from the factory. Price-wise, the new graphics card can now be obtained in Malaysia for RM 1,469.
