EVGA GTX 1060 SC 6gb Temperature issue !!

More power means more noise! This is always the case!

You want more power - that means more heat - more heat means more fans - more fans means more noise.

Let the GTX 1060 spool up, there is absolutely NO reason to turn down your graphics because your fans are spinning!!

Your GTX 750TI was such a low end card it wasn't even capable of overheating! It simply didn't have the power to get hot.

Well, fine tuning your fan to meet your needs is a big part of PC building.

For example, i'm like you, i don't really like fan noise.

My fans are pretty much off until my CPU reaches around 60degC

Because the only thing i do is game, if my CPU is at 60degC my intake fans spool up which are right above my GPU.

My CPU fan speeds hit 100% at 75degC
My GPU fan speeds hit 100% at 82degC

For all we know your GPU fan speed is set to 100% at 55degC, which would explain the premature noise.

what kinda temps are you seing with the card ?? them cards have that -0- fan thing where they don't even come on in till about 60c ?

todays fans on cards are pretty quite so they must be having to really hump it for you to hear them as you say ??

like here maybe you got a old stock card before the evga fan update in the bios used ?? [single fan cards only ?? ]

if you registered your card with evga as you should [ that's important to them if any support is needed ] your a member and can post this issue in there forums as well , maybe one of there guys got some better help if needed ?

in the end in my opinion it should not be that noisy even at full blast i guess you could just remove the side cover off the case and se if that helps let heat out and fresh air in [i do ]

EVGA Precision X OC is the one that is intended to be used with your card - and is also the one i use.

''how i check what my GPU fan speed is at certain degrees ' . GPU-z will and log it if needed

https://www.techpowerup.com/gpuz/

works well and easy to use and get

What? GPU-z must have been adding features? It certainly can show you what your speed and temp is RIGHT NOW. But it doesn't show you the fan curve - it doesn't tell you what it will be when your GPU is at 75degC or 45degC. It doesn't identify when your fans spin up to 100% or any of that. Really it provides zero information that can't be had by EVGA Precision XOC

all but the curve what does that matter ?? it will as you log it on the rest ??? wow I guess you never used it ??? thing is the fan curve is bios controlled ya you can change it with Precision but then you got to run it all the time in the background and have tio start up when windows boots everytime , who wants that full time ???

if you exit Precision the fans go right back to default bios settings

''Next time you open Precision X OC you can left click on the profile that you saved, and
your fan profile will take effect
Please note that if you close Precision X OC your fan curve will no longer take effect''

Correct, but this is how a custom fan curve and OC can be achieved - if he wants to quiet his fans down this is the way to do it. Monitoring things doesn't make it any quieter. You must make changes, and sometimes changes require software... such is life. With a modern PC - having a few programs start on start up should only be adding a few ns to your start times.

he needs to contact evga . that card should be whisper quite even at full load [opinion] you will get some fan noise but should not be noise over everything else ?

even if the card was getting 80c it should be around maybe 33 or so % and if at that and can hear them ???? these card today don't take much to cool . I'm not there to hear it in person but seems a bit out of the ordinary even if it was being overclocked

''having a few programs start on start up should only be adding a few ns to your start times. '' used resources is used resources that's why you see a lot 'stop / turn off all background programs '' for like gaming and benching then that's another thing a background program that bugs out on you and leaves you scratching your head on whats the issue ??

to me out of the box even at a good fan speed that card should be quiet enugh to think its not even in there.

just do what ever you think is best on that your the one you got to satisfy that card should not loud as you claim it is . if it is air flow issue with his case I just remove the side panels and let it get some air and breath

I still use this case still now and today I got back like 16 years ago and I removed the side panels from it [of course I'm all ways sticking my hand in it to change out something ] thing is my old hd 7850 clogged with dust did not get noisy that I noticed it running at full load at that and now I got a evga 980ti hybrid in it quite as a church mouse


and cat say I disagree with his '' With my old MSI GTX 750ti boost i was able to run these games on higher setting iknow it has 2 fans but paying this much for a GPU i would have exspected to be able to ace games in 1080p''

see to me something aint right and he should seek satisfaction from a store RMA oe through EVGA RMA / support I mean compared to a older 750ti that 1060 should fly and not break a sweat and be nice cool and quite - unless theres more going on then meets the eye here that 1060 should be stronger and quitter then that 750ti

one thing I keep forgetting to bring up is this card being used on a prebuilt motherboard like hp or dell if not what are you system specs . you may need to check if theres a bios update that improves pci-e / vga compatibility that maybe needed for these latest cards to work right ?
