I am preparing to purchase a GTX 1060 with 6GB RAM. I want to confirm whether it can be overclocked and if it requires a TI card for that purpose. Additionally, I need advice on the most suitable cooling solution if I decide to overclock.

Some cards can be overclocked while others cannot. This depends on the specific card you received. The Ti card isn't an indicator for overclocking; it's just a name. Certain Ti cards may not be overclockable depending on the manufacturer they were produced by. It is feasible to overclock cards that aren't designed for it, but it usually needs adjustments such as soldering a cable, which I'm not very experienced with or knowledgeable about.

Certain Ti cards can't be overclocked based on the manufacturer they were made by. Any modern graphics card can be overclocked, though the extent varies by model and luck, but all of them support it to some degree.

Isn't this called boosting? I mean adjusting the voltage, which is usually limited when trying to overclock.

The card with either do includes boosting automatically or by default. Any adjustments beyond that are considered overclocking, and some cards might have voltage limits that limit how much you can push them, though you can still get extra performance before reaching those limits.
