Pros
Pro Can easily fit in any chassis
At roughly 28cm in length, it has a pretty compact body and can fit without any trouble in any decent chassis.
Pro LED lighting controllable by software
Like its more powerful siblings, the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming also has LED lights which can be controlled and animated with the Xtreme engine software utility.
Cons
Con Needs proper ventilation inside the chassis to keep relatively cool temperatures
Even though the fans that the GTX 1060 G1 Gaming uses are excellent, the lack of proper ventilation holes in the backplate make it very easy to trap heat inside the card. To compensate for that you need to make sure that there's proper ventilation inside the chassis.
Con Can easily trap heat
The GTX 1060 G1 Gaming has a metal back-plate which covers the back of the card. However, it does not have any ventilation gaps or holes. This can easily create issues with heat being trapped inside the card.
