Choosing between two ASUS 1060
I have a choice between two vidyuhi.The first has one cooler, and it is cheaper.
In the second, there are three coolers, respectively, more expensive.
I'm not going to overclock vidyuhu, what would you advise?
1st ASUS TURBO-GTX1060-6G
2nd ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX1060-6G-GAMING
It's better to take MSI Gaming or ASUS Dual. Miserable turbine cooling by wood. Only perverts like me buy STRIX.

Of course, only ASUS ROG STRIX-GTX1060-6G-GAMING of the two. The reference is a turbine, always weaker (in acceleration) and noisier (rotation speed + temperatures).

Guys, are they the same in performance? And won't the first one overheat?
AL5, the difference in performance is minimal, but it's better to buy a factory-overclocked card if you don't know how to do it yourself.
Turbine-cooled graphics cards tend to be noisy and hot. And then there's the plastic casing - if the Founders Edition has it metal and is still tolerable, then this one is extremely doubtful.
So if you have money, take either STRIX or Dual, or a version from another manufacturer with normal CO.

Let me explain it so that it is clearer:
Nonreferences are cards with fans, reference is a turbine.
All video card boards are essentially the same, i.e. the manufacturer nvidia makes his textolite with all the electronics - the processor, memory blocks, electrical circuit, and they are all the same for all. The difference between video cards is in cooling, different manufacturers have the right to install, design, recommend their own cooling system, and this is what we see. The turbine is usually a factory feature of Nvidia itself.
Fans and a radiator are a more efficient cooling system, which allows you to overclock the video card from the factory without losses in temperature, which means it is more powerful than the original version with a turbine, plus a possible margin for further overclocking. Unfortunately, a video card with a turbine has lower operating frequencies and worse overclocking potential. One turbine against two, three fans, you know. In order for the turbine to somehow compete with the fans, it has higher rpm, hence the noise indicators.
A reference, a turbine, has the advantage of ejecting hot air outside - behind the case, while, as a radiator + fans - unreference, as you can see, throws air into the case.
Technical differences: a) In the Reference, the air flow is driven by the turbine, the air passing horizontally through the radiator sections is thrown out, unfortunately the air passing through the sections clogs up their dust (and to clean it, you have to unscrew the casing), as well as its temperature as it moves grows, hence, to compensate for high temperatures, increase the air speed and turbine speed, as I said. The distance that air travels depends on the length of the video card. b) In the case of a non-reference, the air movement is vertical, i.e. here's a fan, the fan has a radiator area, in this case it is visually divided into three or three fans, and the distance that the air flow travels depends only on the thickness of the radiator, hence the high cooling efficiency, ease of cleaning and more overclocking options.

lags behind the first in performance. The second has better cooling, but it has a serious drawback - the length is 300 mm. Not every building will fit.

NVIDIA does not have its own production, they are only engaged in GPU development and software support. Custom graphics chips are made by third-party companies, video memory chips are purchased from specialized manufacturers.
Vendors buy video chips and assemble cards at their discretion. The printed circuit board can be any, as well as the power and cooling systems. Memory is also at their discretion.
referent this map conceived by developers. cooling, power supply and frequencies are
not actually a reference, this is a manufacturer's invention, which may differ in frequencies and cooling. There may be turbines that are not referents like 960 asus ostubo or even a couple of such white ones and similarities from a giguboit and something else.
it often happens that there is no reference design for younger models. only the frequencies are indicated on the nvidia website and everything
in this case must be looked at the frequencies. I overcame them and they are the same. therefore, one another is not exactly faster than the other in normal operating conditions. except for cooling features
Better just do not take 1060, it is too weak. 1070 at least.
Asus expensive, take Gigabytes, nothing worse. He himself ordered such a
Spoiler (http://www.regard.ru/catalog/tovar228749.htm) 
(it has a normal factory overclocking, 2Hz takes it from the box), when the pancake arrives, without a vidyuhi sit that drunk without liver.
Here is a good overview of most GTX 1060s, you can compare and choose what you like:

I myself am already waiting for the GTX 1060 MSI X to appear in Belarus at an adequate price.

Doesn't it happen for vidyahs that out of 2-3 coolers 1 is blown out?
VITYA_KOLYADENKO, I have ASUS STRIX - one of the three fans works for blowing. Average if I'm not mistaken.
DozoRRR, but stylish and beautiful, and even great backlighting. I take video cards for a long time, because a small overpayment for such beauty, which will please the eye for several years, is forgivable. And my last card from ASUS was GeForce 8800 GT 256Mb.
True, the body had to be broken a little.

Here I am, too. I’m not for MSI, it looks more like the mother of Z87 Gaming.
