So i'm running more tests with my heatsink and observing odd behaviour. Running benchmarks like Heaven or Furmark, the max temperature is about 73C. However, when running demanding games, temperature gets as high as 80C. This is with the card outside of the case so ambient temperature should be the same. I always assumed benchmark software would put more load on a card than any game. Anyone have more insights? Running more tests tonight...

I would have thought so too, could just be duration? Furmark should be absolutely hammering it though.

Although I have just tested and noticed different behaviour in furmark with the 4060. Normally the clockspeeds get smashed when running furmark, but with my 4060 it's just barely below what I see in TimeSpy?

I was looking at "score explorer" rather than "leaderboad" hence why I saw you as 81st

It is definitely also my experience when undervolting that no benchmark truly "loads" the graphics card as well as some games. I have often had undervolts that seemed rock solid in Timespy, Superposition, Heaven, etc. But I boot up Assassin's Creed: Unity and get a game freeze within seconds. Especially now with all the RTX and DLSS stuff most benchmarks are horribly outdated when it comes to stress testing GPUs. It's basically like testing your CPU by only doing additions and subtractions...

FYI

ASUS now has a 4060 Low Profile card.
188mm, triple fan.

Longer than the Gigabyte, 15MHz clock bump, 6 pin instead of 8 pin (like that makes a difference. Plus, being an Asus card, it'll undoubtedly cost more. Because Asus tax.

Snerual · Jan 16, 2024

Asus' non-ROG stuff is sometimes priced reasonably... I am curious to see how they'll compare in terms of noise and thermals! Maybe this one can be flashed with an ROG Strix BIOS

Very interesting to see demand for this is high enough that Asus also takes the risk of developing a card like this.

Next step: a 4060Ti in this form factor?

Edit: not only is it slightly longer than the Gigabyte, it also seems like the power connector is even further back? That will make it even harder to fit in most LP cases...

The Asus card is strikingly similar.........
No mention of fan stop on that one either.

That's some great news!

The more the merrier, hopefully that will also bring down the prices a little.

185mm isn't a hard limit but rather a guideline not to make the process too frustrating. I guess it could be done, as this is the Gigabyte:

I think the Asus card fits in a lot less cases than we might think. It's 188mm and opposed to Gigabyte's model, the 8pin starts at the very end of the card. So all the cable and it's bend will need additional space - making this require close to 200mm. Gigabyte allow that bend to happen underneath the shroud within it's 182mm length. The length of the Asus card is not due to a longer heatsink, based on the pics it just starts later on the pcb for some reason.
Overall, since the heatsink and the fans are the exact same, I think Gigabyte wins here, yet I sure hope this will introduce some price drops.

robbee · Jan 17, 2024

The heatsink seems different though. On this render, you can see the heatpipe bend on the IO side of the card, which is opposite to the Gigabyte. It's also nickel plated, which the Gigabyte isn't.

Snerual · Jan 17, 2024

I really don't think it's designed for ITX builds to be honest... That length seems more suitable for those old-fashioned "horizontal" mATX office PC cases. That, and maybe certain "render farm/cuda" use cases where these get crammed in a rack. I wonder why the PCB is that much longer as well, will be very interesting to see a teardown.

ZS A4DC does not fit the Gigabyte 4060 Low Profile which I found out to my disappointment today. Only way it fits is if you deshroud it and use your own fans (the heat sink barely fits).

Not entirely true. If you received the alternate backplate to accommodate a full height PCI bracket and G-UNique power-in, you can fit that backplate behind the front fascia to give you the extra 3mm you need.

Worked perfectly for me.

rcodi · Jan 19, 2024

ZS A4DC V3 probably needs an asterisk, I was able to cram it in and screw the case together with the stock panels but the shroud was definitely flexing. Pretty sure if you shave a mm or two off with a sander it would fit just right though.

Analogue Blacksheep · Jan 19, 2024

I've updated the list on this page and the original post with the feedback.

Their 1650 LP had zero rpm fan, which is why I bought it. Sad if this doesn't.

@SFFMunkee successfully flashed the VBIOS of his GB 4060 with one that supports 0 fan mode... guess that's also an option for the Asus card

Are the fans really that audible when you leave them just above minimum?
