So I bought a EVGA GTX 1060 mini (6GB for those that care), the standard clocked one, not the superclocked one, simply because it was on offer and was about £35 cheaper. I'm not too bothered about the higher clock, only about the heat sink included.

Rather than the copper pipe upgraded heat sink in the superclocked and most other GPUs, the standard one has something similar to the stock CPU coolers from Intel. I'd be gaming on 1080p, on high-very high settings, with v sync on at 60hz.

So what would the temps be roughly, it's because it's in a mATX case, and air flow isn't the best, and because due to the confined space, I'd like the GPU to run as cool as possible to allow other components to run cooler.

I heard that the superclocked one runs about 10C cooler, do you reckon I should return my GPU, and spend more to get the sc? Can't really opt for any other GPUs as there's a size restriction.
