Hey,
I'm planning to upgrade my current GPU to a GeForce GTX 1060 (the MSI GAMING GeForce GTX 1060 6GB GDDR5). This upgrade is quite big for me, but I am inexperienced when it comes to matters of 'building gaming pcs' and hardware tech etc.
The question I had was: would this GPU overheat inside my relatively small desktop case.
My desktop case model is the: CM431 Micro ATX, it does not have an innate cooling system installed (no fan/water cooling). I know this MSI GPU has two fans, but how would it be possible for them to release all of the GPU heat out of such a condensed case, with minimal ventilation? Would it be a smart idea for me to upgrade my PC tower or could I get away with housing this GeForce GTX 1060 within my relatively small case?
I would appreciate any answer long or short, thank you for your time.
P.S
My mother board is the MSI H67MA-E35 (B3), although i'm not sure if this information is relevant.
My processor is an Intel i7 2600 (CPU 3.40 GHZ).
