I'm mining with 6x Gigabyte Windforce OC 3GB (Samsung)

Runing them on:
TDP 67%
Temp 69c
Core -100
Memory +950

They seem stable so far keeping just above 25 Mh/s eth on claymore dual miner. I thiink it's not quite the sweetspot, but I like the consistent 150 Mh/s combined with total draw from the wall 560 watts. They also run quite cool - under 50c with 60-65% fan.

I was wondering if it's worth using different settings for auto-switching algos like a bit higher core and less memory as I notice equihash is also a good option according to my benchmarks in nicehash miner. Potentially more profitable from time to time, but these settings are far from ok for equi.

So any suggestions? Keep the good work on eth or sacrifice a bit for potential auto-switch profits?

Edit: Working full time so auto-switch is probably worth it.

Yes you will need core and a little memory for almost all other algo. I auto-switch and run my 1060s at core +100 memory +200. There are probably some algos which could be tuned individually but I'm lazy.

Currently have an Asus Dual OC 3gb, currently mining zencash.

Settings are:

+160 Core
+390 Memory
90w TDP

300 Sols.

How does this stack up?

You could do better.

80 Power
+200 core
+0 memory

use Bminer. You should be able to do 300-315 with a much better sol/w number.

I am running SMOS which doesn't have bminer.

And about +160 core is the limit before it crashes

Slowly increase memory by +50.

Equihash algo mostly past weeks. that would be zcash, zencash, hush, zcl, etc.
Sometimes ethereum - dagerhashimoto based algos (rarely lately), sometimes cryptonight algo (rarely lately), sometimes lux (phi1612 algo) (not that often lately) and used to to bitcore too.
cryptonight algos were nice a month/two ago, decent hash , lower electricity cost, lower gpu temperatures but recently its crappy.

Seems good.
My electricity is expensI've, so same cards latest settings are on 65 watts, 150 core 350 mem gets me around 255 sols. Big factor is temperature too. Mine is 48-50c.
If I drop temp to 45 I get small boost in sols but I hate the noise of fans so settled for 50c and 55% fans.
I do eth sometimes , it's about 18.5 mh but crappy hynix.

what do you mine with your hynix cards? Zcash?

I just bought 2x 1060 on 6gb samsung memory i wont get them till march they cost £280 each. I plan on mining eth whilst my 1070 and 1080ti mine phi. I'm not sure if I want to keep my order or cancel as looking at a roi of pretty much 10 months. New nvidia gpus will be out which would prob push the roi to 1 year plus.

Cancel or continue ?

Is actually anyone paying these insane prices for new GTX 1060 that can be currently found in all the shops? Everything is sold out but I really wonder who bought them for these prices - what an awful ROI

Bought some Gigabyte Windforce OC 3GB mid january for €239. Was excited b/c all of them were equipped /w Samsung VRAM. Wanted to re-order 2 days later and they were at €299 and consequently my head exploded.

I was about to get these, but alot of people suggested me to get 1070's instead. They cost a little bit more money, but totally worth.

Yeah i wanted to go with 1060 just ended up going with 1070's

I paid around 300 USD for a EVGA 3GB, here in Brazil, first week of Jan/18. Think was a good deal, now is 10-20% more.

Hi,

Mining with 1 EVGA 1060 3 GB, Hynix memories.

This configuration:
Memory +600
Core clock +0
Fan speed 44% (auto)
Power limit 67 %
Temps between 61 ~64 °C

With this I get around 19.5 MH/s.

Mining in MPH.

But after some hours this rate drops to 15.7MH/s.

I switched from ETHminer to Claymore, but both are having same behavior.

Is is common to hashrate reduce after a while? Or any suggestion of configuration changing?

Thank you,

I suggest you to try other algos
1060 with Hynix + ETH sucks

Best you can do is Equihash or Phi, blake etc

I see...
Even with ..not that much overclock.. the board gets unstable after some time and returns to default configuration...
I will check the other algos, thks.

Yes, best you can do
It's unstable because Hynix can't support high overclocks

On my samsung memory I can achiecve 950mhz and 25Mhs solid
With Hynix just 400 or 500mhz and never reach 20mhs

Do a benchmark with some Zpool miner Gui or Nicehash miner just to see which algo is more profitable to your card
