Ok,thank you for your answers but I am running it under Phoenix miner latest version and I am Ok with 25 watt more if I have to change OS or to change miner.It is running pretty stable at 37 Mhsh and also I have it running on my riserless motherboard so at this far I am very happy with the performance and I don't care about 25 watt.

Solution is Trex miner, use it's absolute core clock settings your power consumption will go lower, it works in hive OS as well the mission is to lock the core clock to a certain number.

To drop the power usage under the driver lower limit of 125w, don't use a core clock offset, rather use a locked core clock, ie. using nvidia-smi you would do something like this on a linux system:

sudo nvidia-smi -i 0 -lgc 1095,1095

(replace the number "0" after the "-i" parameter with the actual gpu index of your 2060-12gb in your system: ie. 0 for 1st gpu, 1 for 2nd gpu, etc.)

I just bought a MSI Ventus 2060 12 GB and downloaded the driver from the MSI official website.I am running this on my riserless motherboard and everything looks smooth so far except one problem,the power stays at 125 watt although I have lowered it to 67% power limit.My settings are what everyone recommends -95 core clock and +1500 Memory Clock,that is the maximum for this MSI card,I have seen other brands doing +1650 but the hash rate is the same 37.xx for me as the other cards with higher memory.

Maybe I didn't see it correctly on youtube videos,maybe I need to have 1095 core clock which means I need +95 instead of -95 for lower power limit at 98 watt as I am seeing everywhere?
