well that your call on what brand to go with . as for me all my NVidia card except my first one frome my first ever pc build back in the agp days have been evga

I also had a old gts 8800 card I sent in to them and got back a gtx 960 that 8800 card was like 8 years old and had a life time warrantee and evga replaced it

that's service and took about 2 weeks from me to them back to me

they don't offer life time anymore but thing is if your card fails they back it up I seen some pretty bad looking cards they went ahead and accepted like I said it would have to be pretty blatant end user damage / abuse for then not to [just from my experience with them ]

my 2ed choice would be MSI [witch was my first...

Honestly, with the 1050, a single fan is not going to hurt. It should be just fine and do what you want. The bigger the heatsink, the more heat will be generated which is not always good. Now the card has to work twice as hard to stay cool, not to mention the cooling inside of the case as well. I have a Gigabyte motherboard and EVGA GPU. Only spoke to EVGA, and they where pretty cool about my issue. Honestly, both cards should perform generally the same.

if you know NVidia you know evga..

thing about evga is if you were to get a lemon card or something with in the warrantee goes wrong with it they back there stuff up and are the easiest to deal with for a quick simple RMA / replacement . only thing they frown on is any physical damage [end user] and then I seen them be real forgiving over that ..

in the end as far as a card there all just a 1050 under the coolers but who best services what they sell when its needed ? evga.

If it's well-ventilated, then you won't want to worry about dual-fans.

Just a note, I have a EVGA SC GTX 1060 6GB single-fan GPU. And I always play my gmaes on high settings. As long as you have good cooling in your case, you should be good. Not trying to turn you away, just want you to know it is not totally necessary.

well 2 fans or 1 fan should not heat up things at all out side of NVidia specs anyway . the 1 fan shorty is for small cases or mitx builds where space is at a premium . also the ''shorty'' card are lower powered cards and most times don't require a extra 6 or 8 pin pci-e power lead from the psu . either way they will both do a good job as the guy said above

my 2ed choice would be MSI [witch was my first ever NVidia card agp gt6600 ] it still going strong today in a old XP rig , but MSI looks to build a solid card .

to me if me I'd just pay the 5 bucks extra and go evga [but that's just me ]

all you should do is what YOU feel is best for you. not for me , him or the guy down the road

good luck
