Strix 1060 VRM plate

[dazzyboy10]

I had an Asus Strix 1060 GPU and recently sold it. I had previously watercooled it and don't recall removing any metal plate that covered the VRM. The person I sold it to is now stating that it is missing and I need to find it. I'm wondering if it was the OC edition that had this cooling plate rather than the standard edition. Hopefully someone can help me with this as I'm confused right now and really don't remember seeing it. Thanks guys

The VRMs looks like they are cooled by the heatsink directly?

I was thinking that but the guy showed me a video of someone stripping a 1060 and it showed a cooling plate

Just seen a video. The cooling plate for the RAM is what it actually is.

It would make sense there is one given the heatsink doesn't seem to touch them directly.

I saw that video too but like I said, I don't remember seeing or removing any kind of plate from the card which is what's making me believe that it could be just on the oc edition as mine wasn't oc

Whenever I've stripped a card to watercool, I ensure all screws are screwed into the stock cooler and anything else is placed in the original box along with the cooler and there was no sight of any cooling plate

I really doubt they would have two different assembly processes for something as small as that.

It may however have been introduced in a later revision.

Same PCB design as the 1070 Strix apparently. The 1070 Strix also has that cooling plate.

You can tell in the above video, the 1060 also had the cooling plate.

I think I may have to contact Asus on this just to see as I tried to search different revisions but came up with nothing
