I have another question, What's the best templimit for 1060 ? I just set to 78C, I don't know if this is good

I don't use a temp limit myself but I run mine at 50-60 celcius. Pascal cards are hardcoded to slow down when they get warm, far before than they actually start noticeably throttling. I'd also avoid very high fan speeds for better fan longevity.

@ComaWombat I didn't know that, never saw one throttling but i actually never had a Pascal card above 70C (and even that was in extreme cases where the fan speed reset to default curve, which is usually crap)

@eli_lyd1 I set templimit to 75C, being 75C the absolute limit where the miner will disconnect the card, but i rarely get to that temps.
i regulate fan speeds to keep the cards below 60C, maybe 65C in the summer but not more, but i use the cards at low TDP, so it is very rare to get 70C on a 1060, except on the single fan ones that the thermal solution is crap hehe.

Can you tell me how to control the fan speed?

If I don't set templimit, one of the gpu will go to 80C + .... I don't know why

I've got 6 x ASUS Turbo 1060 3GB and 5 are doing between 260-270 each and 1 is always just under 260 on a Gigabyte 990FX board... Total system power draw is ~650w

I loveee my Gigabyte 1060 6G - currently sitting at 51c - 323 Sol/s - practically silent, ticks over like a perfectly manufactured slinky slinking its way down a never ending set of stairs. Bulletproof, in every sense of the word. I'd shoot it, but I enjoy hating my AMD rig so much sometimes that it would render any gunfire scenario impractical/nonsensical.

Super important post, coming through! More-so bordering on the realm of Law, rather than personal opinion.

So, yeah, if you can get a good deal on a 1060 - or find yourself at a krux - I can at least give the thumbs up re the 1060 6gb - as it was a spontaneous purchase, hadn't planned to get anything - but was quickly tiring of the alternative.

I use 1060 3G, set to 78C, only 270 Sol/s.........., why?

This is my config:

--log 2 --logfile /home/miner/m.log --pec --pass x --port 3333 --tempunits C --templimit 78 --solver 1 0 0 0 0 0

Can anybody give me some advice?

You need to overclock or downclock, depending on whether you want to be power-saver or go for the maximum hashrate.
Install Nvidia Inspector and follow these instructions for power saver setup https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.18806798
If you want maximum hashrate leave power limit at 100% and set core clock to +160 to +220 (depends on card type/manufacturer) and memory to +600. That way you can get 300 S/s easily.

270 Sols is normal for a 1060 3GB, the 6GB version probably will give you 10-15 sols more, to reach something in the 320 range, you will need to push TDP to the max, OC the memory and core significantly, it's not worth it IMHO, it will probably kill the card in a few months, and the power efficiency will be so low that it would be best to use AMD instead hehe, the main reason to use NVIDIA it's because of power efficiency, but if you push TDP to the max to get that numbers, it's just a waste of energy.
but that's just my point of view

ok, I see, Thank your answer.

And I find that: I set the gpu0 to solver 1, but it alway to touch the 78C, but the other set solver to 0, and always to stay to 73C.....
