Which GTX 1060 will fit Accelero S3?

[Marek Ogarek]

I want to know which version of GTX 1060 will fit Accelero S3 (https://www.arctic.ac/eu_en/accelero-s3.html). I'm asking because I know it won't fit every version of a card it supposedly supports, e.g. it doesn't fit MSI HD7770 even though it lists HD7770 as supported.

It does not support any 1060s according to this below. Quite easy to find, maybe try looking in the support section of your link for what its compatible with before posting on a forum about it.

most cooler on the 1060 is already good enough. some even quite excessive. why you still need to replace them?

Manual is outdated, just click on specifications.

I'm going full fanless and the TDP of 1060 allows me to do it. Manufacturer of passive cooler claims it can cool 1060. The only problem I have is not knowing which version of 1060 it will fit it.

I hate it when people who don't know an answer write unhelpful posts. Now nobody knowledgeable will check this thread because they see it already has answers.

It is compatible with the GTX 1060. To be on the safe side I would get one with a larger PCB instead of a small single fan model. For a fanless setup a GTX 1060 with an Accelero S3 sounds like a good option.

that is not an attitude asking for help. and nobody here are obligated to answer your post. having answer or not if the topic did picked their interest they will give their respond. be grateful that there are already people responding to your question.

the manual itself is outdated but at the technical tab it did mention support for GTX1060

https://www.arctic.ac/worldwide_en/products/cooling/vga.html?gpu_cooling_capacity=117

which model are supported? when it comes to after market cooler for GPU that will always for the reference design unless stated otherwise. such thing also mentioned in technical tab.

The compatibility list is based on AMD Radeon and NVIDIA's reference board layout only. Please check the height restriction drawing before purchase.

for 1060 that would be GTX1060 FE. if you want to know which custom model are directly compatible you need to ask Arctic directly. Or you need people with such exact setup (using the the cooler with non reference 1060) to chime in in this thread.
