I thought 1 wasn't enough, so I was thinking about 2 fans for my 1060, and like what are the pros & cons, etc. This is the build, take a look at it for yourself :

Windows 10
AMD - Ryzen 5 1600 3.2GHz 6-Core Processor
ASRock - AB350M Pro4 Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard
Team - Dark 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 Memory
Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Nvidia GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB Video Card
Corsair - 100R ATX Mid Tower Case
Seasonic M​12II 620W ​80+ Bronze​ Certified - S​S-620GM2 -​ Power Sup​ply

Thanks & have a nice day :)!

Are you talking about 2 fans on the GPU? 2 fans will keep it cooler; but the heatsink/heatpipes also determine how cool it will stay. With 2 fans the fans typically wouldn't have to work as hard to keep it cool, so the fans would theoretically last longer. But that's not always the case. I've seen a fan on a dual-fan GPU fail before a single fan GPU.
