Noisy card I might decided to send it back before my month return runs dry.
When active in an already warm room the fan began to buzz, as if unbalanced or contacting where contact shouldn't be. I checked the cabling, it does not interfere. The fans have quieted, as the weather grows cooler, or the problem might be gone. I bought the graphics card to play a Blizzard game and (really!) also for high performance neural network training. The latter I haven't yet tested. Oh! And I was unaware that the GTX 1060 needed a secondary power supply. Mine requires an additional 8 port power connector which was not available from my power supply. I got a "2 by 4 pin to 8 pin" Molex adapter. Which works given that my power supply has a batch of unused cables hanging therefrom. I've seen pictures on line, from NVIDIA, showing this extra power supply as a 6 pin fitting. Also, Tom's Hardware says "don't do this! Many computers burn up as the wires have cross-section too small."
I did not apply the advice I learned many years ago. Choose the software first, then get an appropriate computer. For $75 I got an old computer with a 6 multi-thread Ryzen cpu. It came with another case---similar motherboard but no memory or long term storage media, and smaller power supply. Also the person threw in a USB wireless and small graphics card. The USB is too slow for the location I chose, so I bought a PCIE wireless device with antennae. The card improved data transmission rate somewhat, but my laptop computer is still way faster. The GPU worked, but not for CUDA nor for the game. Next I purchased the NVIDIA GTX 1060. Its double width covered the 16 bit slot used by the new radio. I've now had to rearrange my equipment to get suitable speed with the USB WIFI.
