Try this config with MSI AB.
+155/+100 Core/Mem. Power target - 70%. It should provide pretty results.
Moreover, you're overpowering your GPUs and PSU. No need of 115% Power target.

Thank you for your advice, However I have tried these settings, but I only got ~1720 sols/s. Now I am running stable for ~13hrs with average 1895 sols/s, using +165/+455, 95% power. I will try to play a bit more with power to save on electricity bill.

What miner + settings for that miner are you using?
Are you pushing intensity up on the miner as well as raising the cards' core clock, or just one at a time?
Also, are you sure the 850W is enough for all the GPUs running at full? The power draw on my 2x 060 6GB card when I'm mining at 130% clock on Monero is almost 230W and I still bought a 1000W PSU just in case.

I am using EWBF’s CUDA Zcash miner. I didn't do anything but standard for this miner. my scrypt is:
miner.exe --server hush.suprnova.cc --user______ --pass x --port 4048
I am very happy with 1900 sols/s rate, but I heard that many people do under voltage (modd BIOS or whatever) and get the same sols rate with lower power consumption.

However, thank you for your help guys!

Hello ppl,

I wonder if you can help me. I am very new to crypto mining and have some issues with my 6x Gigabyte GTX1060/6Gb rig.
I have started to mine HUSH with EWBF’s CUDA Zcash miner and for some reason I can not OC my GPU to what everyone recommends (+107/+926/ 85% power). The most I can get, before my miner and afterburner gets in to not responding mode is +105/+420, power 115% and get ~1890 sols/s total.
Technical info:
Motherboard - H81 pro BTC 2.0
PSU - Corsair HX850 850W
GPU - 6x Gigabyte 1060/ 6Gb
4GB Ram,
120Gb SSD
Windows 10
Driver version - 384.94
First I thought that it is something to do with my PSU, but I see people successfully overclocking their 6x1060 rigs with 650W PSU.
Is it something to do with driver? Bios?

Thank you for your help.

GTX 1060 is a 120 W tdp GPU.
At 115 %, you are at 138 W per GPU, then 828 W.
Then, OC a 6 x GTX 1060 mining RIG with only a 650 W PSU seems impossible.
But you have a 850 W PSU and mathematics tell you that is not enough (850 W = losts is too low for your 828 W needes).

Overclocking of graphic card is NOT an obligation, it is a possibility. Each copy of graphic card has different oc potential, and you cant not expect that your cards will oc @+105/+900 - there are VERY high results especially for memory. On the other side setting +900 without step by step examination was very risky and you have a lot of luck that you didnt smash your hardware.
First of all you should make an accurate, step by step tests of each card to find max frequencies for proc/mem. Than after that you could make tests. Results +100/+400 are quite good, dont count for getting +900 for memories, only max luckiest people have as overclockable cards.
If your mining is crashing after oc, try decrease clocks, until you will get stability.
A starting condition is that on default clocks you have 100% stable work
