EVGA SC15 GEFORCE GTX 1060 GAMING, User Manual

Downclock: Forces the SC15 GEFORCE® GTX 1060 GAMING to run in a throttled

state, using reduced performance for low demand apps, significantly reduces heat,

and extends battery life.

Fan Control:This will open 2 graphs, one for CPU and one for GPU, to let you 

control the balance of temp and fan noise.  If the curve is manually set too low 

for some loads, the fans will ramp up to 100% on their own when there is a risk 

of hardware damage.

FAN BOOST: The FAN BOOST button located at the bottom of the center menu 

will increase all fans to 100% ignoring all preset fan curve information.

Fan Control

The 2 above curves will function the same way.  The square points on the graph 

reference when the GPU or CPU reaches a certain temperature, the fan will 

increase to a specified percentage.

The curves above are a baseline, you can reduce the speed some to help with 

noise, but the operating temperature will increase.  Also, if noise is not a 

concern you can safely turn the fan speed to 100% and the system will run 

much cooler.

CPU Dashboard:

CPU Clock: This will show the current frequency of your CPU.  The CPU frequency 

will vary based on load, background applications, etc. It is common, without 

overclocking, to see this specific model of CPU fluctuate between 800 MHz and 

3800 MHz (3.8 GHz). Overclocking the CPU will change the frequency parameters, 

but the clocks will still fluctuate.

CPU Temp: This displays the temperature, in Celsius, of the CPU socket. The Core

temperature can normally operate in a wide range between 15°C to 100°C due to 

a variety of factors, including CPU Clock, ambient temps, and load level.

CPU Voltage: This monitors the current VCore of the CPU. This will normally fluctuate, 

but may be set to a static value in Override mode.
