Noise
During idle usage scenarios, the ASUS STRIX GAMING GTX 1060’s 0dB fan mode comes into force and ensures the system noise levels remain minimal. This creates a stellar user experience and allows the end-user to enjoy casual games, web browsing and other basic tasks in the quietest possible fashion, providing other components emit little noise.
Under stress, the graphics card is extremely quiet and greatly benefits from the wonderful cooling apparatus. Rather surprisingly, it’s over 2 decibels louder than the ASUS STRIX GAMING GTX 1070 OC but this is probably down to a margin of error or the CPU cooler fans running at a higher RPM.
Power Consumption
As expected, the system power consumption is remarkably low thanks to the graphics card’s modest TDP. Even when paired with an X99 system, the power demands remain well under 250-watts.
Temperatures
The graphics card’s cooling hardware is extraordinary and doesn’t encounter any problems even when tackling the Valley application. The 62C average is marvellous and significantly cooler than the majority of graphics cards used throughout the testing procedure.
