NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1060 will get Hybrid Cooling on Inno3D's iChill Black Model
GeForce GTX 1060 graphics processor of NVIDIA is assured to get Hybrid Cooling on Inno3D's iChill Black Model using a closed loop liquid cooler. The graphics card will comes with a factory-overclocked GPU, whereas the advanced cooler promises additional overclocking potential for those who plan to squeeze all of the juice out of a GP106.
The Inno3D iChill GeForce Black Model GTX 1060 is built on a PCB that consists of a propreitary custom design is compared to that of NVIDIA's reference design and comes with a pre-installed Arctic Accelero Hybrid SAIO cooling system, featuring a 120-mm heat exchanger with a fan.
The GP106 runs with a speed of 1569/1784 MHz (base/boost), which is a bit higher compared to NVIDIA's reference cards but is inline with Inno3D's other factory overclocked boards based on the same processor. The board is told to be equipped with a 6 GB of memory which is running at 8.2 GT/s and has five display outputs (Dual Link DVI-D, HDMI 2.0b, 3x DisplayPort 1.4). The card requires a power of an 8-pin auxilliary PCIe power connector.
The Inno3D iChill GeForce GTX 1060 Black has 80 texture units, 64 ROPs, Core clock of 1569 MHz and Boost Clock of 1784 MHz. It has Pascal architecture with 3 outputs (1 × DL DVI-D, 3 × DP 1.4, 1 ×HDMI 2.0b) and a transistor count of 4.4 B.
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 1060 (GP106) graphics chip is popular both among makers of video cards (AIB partners) as well as end-users. Large suppliers of AIBs usually have four or more graphics solution based on the GP106 in their lineups. Nonetheless, Inno3D seems to be the first company to offer GeForce GTX 1060 with a hybrid air and liquid cooling system.
Theoretically, Inno3D's hybrid cooling system should provide more overclocking headroom as compared to aircoolers. It may also be a bit quieter than inexpensive air coolers, but it requires more space inside the PC. The price of the Inno3D is yet not revealed but reports suggest that it will be more than the MSRP of a typical GeForce GTX 1060 6 GB product, which is $249.
