I have seen many artciles regarding it that gtx 1060 3gb mini versions are not overclockable because of single fan and heatsink so according to me mini gtx 1060 is smaller in size and get better air intake and keep the gpu cool so they should be better at overclocking but i am confused between these two versions gtx 1060 mini itx oc 3gb as it has single fan and gtx 1060 msi armor oc 3gb have two fans so which of these can be overclocked easily for better performance kindly reply ASAP i have to buy one of them today or tomorrows..

Not sure what article said otherwise but the 1060 3GB Mini ITX can most certainly be overclocked as can any desktop GTX 1060 3GB. But as for which is better, i would opt the MSI Armour OC since it has a dual cooler (2 fans) and chunkier cooling it should provide better temps after Overclocking as compared to single fan coolers. Hope this helps :)
