So I'm planning to get a GTX 1060 founders edition, but I was just wondering if it had double ball bearing, cause if it doesn't, then I'm not gonna buy it.

The reason im going with a founders edition is because i need a blower design, and in my country (Denmark) it's actually cheaper than most other cards. I did also think about geting the Asus Geforce GTX 1060 6gb turbo, but it's a lot more noisy.That is the worst idea anyone has come up with. Its $100 more for literally NOTHING! You are not getting anything more, its just advertisement where they screw suckers like you.
Get an AIB partner card, better cooling, better OC potential, better phase design, better reliability, etc... MSI's cards with the frozr are amazing, Nitro+ cards are great.
Yeah, i know but I really need a blower design, because I'm using the stock intel cooler for my CPU, and I'm using the node 202, which doesn't have good airflow."With optimized Swept fan blades, double ball bearings and an extreme low power motor, EVGA ACX 2.0 delivers more air flow with less power,"

The Evga gtx1060 does.

Thank you for such an informative answer, I just have one question: will it be quieter to go with the blower or the aftermarket and casefans?Alternative configuration on node 202 with non-blower card - https://youtu.be/OoWzSp6SS5c?t=177
I'm not saying you should not go blower, just that your options are not really that limited. The build uses a i7 4790K with an i3 cooler and still keeps temps in check. The i5 7600 will use significantly less power, and the same can be said for GtX 1060 vs. GTX 970 used in this video, so from a temperature point of view all you need is to ensure positive air pressure in the case. In the video above static pressure fans were used to ensure that.
As I said before, I did not want to sway you in the other direction, just help you understand you options are still open. This is still about making the best choice for your needs and comfort, since every option comes with it's own compromise.Thank you for such an informative answer, I just have one question: will it be quieter to go with the blower or the aftermarket and casefans?
After all this information you have been giving me, i'm kinda leaning over to the aftermarket cooler, but then i have to get some case fans, so which case fans would you reccomend? They have to fit in the Node 202.As I said before, I did not want to sway you in the other direction, just help you understand you options are still open.

In a well ventilated environment the aftermarket cards will be quieter by themselves, but once you account for the extra (case) fans you would have to add, my bet is load noise will be more or less the same between these two options. However, aftermarket cards will allow your system to be less noisy when not gaming by turning off GPU fan(s).
- If blower card is indeed cheaper in your country and you don't want to go through the hassle of installing and optimally configuring extra fans for ventilation, go with the blower card - it's still the safest bet.
- If you care about idle noise, aftermarket card might be worth the effort and end up being a bit more flexible as well.
Thanks for your reply, I now know that I have the option to use a case fan, that's going to come in handy, again thank you.I think any newer case follows the same standards for chassis fans, so literally 99% of fans should fit in the designated spot. Ultimately you could just not close the case, leave the side open and you'd have perfect airflow.
