Are single fan GPU's bad?

[ConslePeasant]

I am currently looking at the EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING, ACX 2.0. Will this gpu perform worse than the other 1060's that have two fans? I am planning on buying this one because it seems to be cheaper than the dual fan alternitives. Would it be worth buying this Gpu instead?

Gtx 1060 with one fan from evga is very good. Don't even think about investing in anything else. It runs cool and nice. The fan just spins faster and it doesn't sais that the fan will get used quicker. Gtx 1070 with one fan will not be as good but 1060 and expecially this superclocked version is a great card. Don't worry just buy it.

In theory, dual fans don't have to work as hard, so they are quieter. With two fans, in theory they can keep the card cooler. In real life? Unless you are in a very hot environment, a single fan can handle a 1060 just fine. Also, if you plan to overclock, you'll want the dual fans because why not?

in theory the more fans the better, but there is no problem with single fan GPU's, I have a single fan GTX 1070 and it works just fine without being very loud.
