So, I'm about to buy a GTX 1060 3GB. The options I have are:
1) MSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GB (GTX 1060 3GT OC)
2) Gigabyte GeForce GTX1060 3GB (GV-N1060WF2OC-3GD)
3) EVGA GeForce GTX1060 3GB Superclock Gaming (03G-P4-6162-KR)
I found all of these 3 cards at the same price.Which one should I go for? I want the card to have as low temperatures as possible, to be as silent as possible and to be as reliable as it can be!
Thanks for your time!

What kind of pricing are you looking at? If possible, a 6GB variant would be much preferred vs 3GB, as there's more cut-down than simply the VRAM.

Options #1 & #2 are dual fan setups, so should be expected to run a bit cooler and quieter than the EVGA single-fan option.

The Gigabyte option would be the faster of the two, so at the same price with dual-fan setups, would likely be the "best" option.

I realise that the 6gb version would be a better choice, but my budget is not that big, so I chose to settle with the 3gb one. I don't really need a 6gb version anyway as I don't really play "triple A" games and if I do so, I compromise and play the games with lower settings.
So, by your sayings, I guess the Gigabyte is the best option. I might end up going with it. Thanks for the answer!

I get that a 2 fan setup on a GPU is likely to be better.So, between the MSI and the Gigabyte you recommend the MSI?
Is there a particular reason? If so make sure to let me know. Thank you for your answer

I have an Msi card too and I really trust the brand, but the EVGA and the Gigabyte have 0db tech and can stay silent when not on load. In general, I wouldn't have a problem to go with the EVGA 1-fan card, that is if it's not REALLY loud or gets REALLY hot. The thing is my current GPU has 2 fans (GTX 750 Ti) and in my mind it would seem like a downgrade going from 2 fans to 1, even though it really isn't.
