Hi guys, have a doubt about a new mining rig.

I have 3x 1060, while the risers didnt come I put two in my actual pc and it run just fine.
But today I get a older pc and when I mine if the two GPU the mouse lags (not a problem since I will not use the pc, but could be a problem depending what causes it) and the first GPU dont obey the 65% power limitation, it is running 80~90%, what not happen in the newer pc.

Could it be the older CPU/Motherboard?

the older CPU is an i3 3220.

Thanks!

Im using Windows 10 with the MSI Afterburner and mining with Ethash.

It happens that I change the GPU0 with the one of my PC and it was about the same. Reinstall drivers etc and its look like is back to normal. The GPU0 is mining in 70% and the GPU1 in 65% (65% set to both) and is ok to me.

The one GTX 1060 that is in my PC now just start to mine with 80% when is set to 65%, then tried to mine with CryptoNight to see with it behave the same and it appears that it doesn't, keep in the 65% setted, so it seen to be a problem with this GPU and Ethash.

are you using windows or linux? I have MSI models, no issue to oc them on linux.

Micron probably. I mostly saw Hynix on the 3gb versions of the 1060. Seems to be the bigger lottery as some even have samsung

I agree the difference is huge when it comes to ETH, noticeable also for other algos. I sold or returned my hynix cards even when losing 10% of my iniital investment. The cards are just inferior in so many ways.

Meh, I just bought (2) of the Asus 3GB OC edition 1060 both with the supposedly preferable Samsung memory, and an XFX RX 570 with Elpida memory and right out of the box the hashrates for Ethash were 18.8 MH/s for the 1060s and 21.6 MH/s for the RX 570; in other words, pretty lackluster, especially for the 1060s.

After flashing a new BIOS to the RX 570 I was able to bump it up to 25.4 MH/s, while OC'ing the memory on the 1060s by +300 got them up to 22 MH/s. I realize there is probably a lot of OC room left on the 1060s, but that is what I am trying for now. Using Ethminer 0.12.0 for both (set to CUDA mode for the 1060s and OpenCL mode for the RX 570).

For Strix DC2, will see when it arrives.

Alright, I understand.
But now getting RX570 or 580 is more like luck. They get out of stock even before you blink your eyes.

I know that Gigabyte 1060 6GB windforce is Hynix almost all the time, however, any idea bout Gigabyte 1060 6GB G1 Gaming, micron or hynix ?

Just got this week a Gigabyte windforce 1060 oc 6gb and memory is micron not hynix

i had the same experience with gainward 1060 6gbs model

all of the cards I owned had Samsung memory, got the new batch, was looking forward building that rig because I really love these cards, and baaam, these had hynix, giving 20% less

y u put crap memory chips, y
oh well
