To all of you wondering why you're getting 15 mh/s on ethereum out of the box with your 1060s 3G:

You got unfortunate enough to get gpus with Hynix memory which is very crappy for eth mining, instead of Samsung or Micron.

I got 4 MSI GTX 1060 3G ITX OC just yesterday and was very disappointed to see the Hynix name.

As far is I know there's no way to increase mining rates to Samsung levels, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

Just set up a rig with 5 EVGA 3GB 1060's.

Exact model here: https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487263

May be some of the cheapest 1060's currently BUT they do have SAMSUNG memory! I had them at +1000 mhz in afterburner but had some weird stuff going on, backed it off to 800 Mhz so I could call it a night.

Running about 22.5-23 Mhs with 800 mhz memory OC. Not bad at all for the cheapest cards around.

Only issue is the heatsink is SHIT, the SC (superclocked) edition of this card has a much denser heat sink and as a result doesn't get nearly as hot.

I said 89C on one card at one point so I cranked the fans to 100% and put the A/C down to 65 while blasting the cards with vortex fans. Down to 80C max, avg 72c between all cards.

Feel bad for those that got cards with shit VRAM, 18-19 is not good for these cards so do your research before you buy!

My Corsair RMi 1000 is reporting avg 660 watt draw from the wall when the cards are under full load. Not bad for 112.5 mhs.

I read everywhere that the SC version is the same with just different factory clock settings

It looks like you got lucky with the PNY and got the Samsung ram eh..

Sorry to ask again but you can confirm me that you are talking about the 1060 GAMING: https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_wgfx_pcie_puis_ref_est_in10099769.html

VS the 1060 SC https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_wgfx_pcie_puis_ref_est_in10099772.html


And not the
1060 SSC (Has dual fans) https://www.topachat.com/pages/detail2_cat_est_micro_puis_rubrique_est_wgfx_pcie_puis_ref_est_in10102735.html

So the 1060 Gaming is garbage, 1060 SC (same itx size) is OKAY (and has always samsung chips?) and the SSC is good too?

Yes, thats correct, if all you can get is the 1060 gaming ITX then its OK just know that the heatsinks are super low end/garbage. Youll need fans/A/C, I run mine at 100% fan speed and temp wise they are OK but kinda loud.

Does the 3gb limit is only impacting Ether mining (DAG file will soon be >3gb) or are other currencies impacted too? I'm thinking og getting 27 1060 and cant decide between 3gb or 6gb.

20.5MH/s while dual mining sia, gigabyte gaming g1 6Gb +175 core +550 memory 98% power limit.

How is the sia return for this?

Looks like good hash. I just wonder that is this result for Oc or not. Also what about power cons.?

Thanks.
