GTX 1060 vs GTX 1060 mini, Any major differences? I'll be using this in my old computer running i5 2400 in a cooler master Centurion.

Need to know the exact cards in question. Make/model. Or links to them.

I got the evga gtx 1060 sc 6gb and im loving it it runs so cool. It never goes above 60c

There is no major difference. The performance is the same. With dual fan you might be able to get a bit better of an overclock, but you can still get a nice overclock with the single fan.

The MSI has a slight bump in clock speed over the EVGA. And its dual fans and larger surface area would probably offer better cooling if you decide to OC it. Better specs below...
EVGA: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487260
MSI: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127964#close
If you have the room for the longer card, I would go with the MSI. The Evga card is designed to provide 1060 power in a compact enclosure.

its honestly not worth the price difference. The msi is 309 when you can get the evga for 50-60 dollars less. You can overclock the evga mini as well. Regardless there very similar.

True. But at Amazon, it is only $270 vs $250. It all depends on what the $20 is worth to the OP.
