Topic: Bolt 3 GTX 1060 Help Posted: 11 Oct 2016 at 7:52pm |
Hey all!
Been looking at the Bolt 3 as my next gaming rig. Wanted to get it with the ASUS ROG STRIX 1060. However, I was wondering if that card would fit the Bolt 3's case due to size. Thanks! Edited by Saad0612 - 11 Oct 2016 at 7:54pm |

It might fit but I would check with DS since its about an inch longer, but you know for $80 more dollars you can have a 1070 gtx right?

My pleasure, I like to take this time to bring it to your attention that bolt comes with one fan and you can add another to the other side for the hdd, basically it has no airflow, so its temps are not that great. On top of that the card you want to use throws all the hot air from the gpu in to the case instead of shooting outside like the turbo version.
I think you should go with a different build other than bolt. If you put that ROG STRIX 1060 in the bolt I foresee lot of heat issues for you. Edited by DST4ME - 14 Oct 2016 at 12:03am |
