New Mining Rig(gtx 1060) OC?

@deathlord32

Hi, I’m running an ASUS H81M Plus like you but can’t get four GPU’s recognised, is it a case of jumpering all three pcie x 1 slots? because only one of them seems not to pick up a card. Just wondered if you did anything to the board or BIOS to get it to load four cards.

Thanks!!

Hey, no i had the same problem that only 3 cards where shown by the first start i then deleted the driver of the cards in the device manager with rightclick → delete or remove. then restart and open the device manager again if there are unknown devices or something rightclick → search for drivers(or something like that)

after these steps it should work atleast with win 10

Guys. I’m having a serious issue.

Just got my asus strix 1060 in the mail. I have installed it in my system. But I’m seeing less than 100 sol/s 80-95 to be exact. Cause Ino i should be seeing atleast 285.

Was wondering if anyone could help me out here. I tried overclocking it. but it only went to maybe 95.

Not really sure what the issue might be. If anyone can help me out. You would be my hero.

Or else ill have to go back to my single fan until i figure this out.

Thinking it might just be smarter to install linux on another HDD and use that for mining if it cant be fixed. This is weird.

Driver version
Mining software version
post config file

Driver: 382.53
Mine Software Version: 0.3.4b
COnfig File?

Its not the mining software.

As i tried with 3 different mining softwares. All reported less than 100 hashrate

config file = where you put in your setting and wallet address

hey man are you still using Slushpool? I switch to flypool and my hash went up quite a lot

I don’t think that’s the problem. Because I used the exact same one for my single fan gpu which gave me 290sol/s and no issues.

Maybe I should completely uninstall my graphics drivers including NVidia and then reinstall them?

And regarding drivers. I did not have NVidia drivers installed for my single fan and was hitting 290sol/s. Then just decided to install it anyway.

Maybe I have a bad GPU? And I should onctact the seller for a new one.

nd still slush. I think this one is related to my GPU not the pool slushspool gives way faster rewards and estimation on his website is bang on.

that’s strange, that’s worst than my 1050ti. Maybe do a reinstall, in a different PCI slot? if it doesn’t work then get a replacement?

Yea it is, Was so excited to install it and start mining at better speeds and way way way cooler, just for it to not go above 95 sol/s. Going to reinstall my drivers and see if it makes a difference. Also going to check my pcie slot and the gold strip on the gpu to check it out see if theres any burn marks or chip marks.

If not. Going to test it on Linux… If still nothing. Guess ima get a replacement.

If all else fails. I would try it on my other gpu. But a replacement is a better option.

But I cant do any of that until I’m home :frowning:

I’m in a dilemma too, my 1060 is just sitting there not slaving away because i messed up the motherboard on my spare computer so I only have the 1070 and 1050 running and no space left for the 1060 :slight_smile:

Ha. Thats shitty. Just like my dilemma of using my mobo for my I5 that has 4 gpu slots until mor of my risers come in. I think I’m going to post a new thread about my issue.

Issue is resolved. Uninstalled my drivers… Rebooted. now hashing at above 300sol/s stable below 55c

wohoo Now need my riser to bloody get here for cryn out loud so I can install my other 1060

Hey. So how can flypool compare to slushs pool? Slush pool with my 400sol/s atm. I’m getting an estimated .0095 zcash per day and .0018 per block. and estimate is BANG ON. and with already .03 zcash after 1.5 days on slush. nto sure I wanna switch. I built aloot of on nicehash. But. Not a fan of them. Their estimate is horrible. website is crap. and payout is terrible.

Wasted time hashing there.

I wasn’t with slush for too long so not gonna talk like I know everything. I guess they’re both similar, but i like flypool so far. fast payouts.
Anyways, what do you think is the future this community? this crypto community? you think we’re at the beginning stage similar to the Dot com boom?

Yea. Ive been with slush for BTC probably since like 2010 and now Zcash. I live by slush. Have tried so many pools and none of compared to slushs.

I think Zcash and etherum are just starting out. I mean cryptocurrency speaks for itself. Many people think they can predict. All you can do is estimate.

What it really comes down to is will GPU mining zcash and etherum eventually become obsolete and all our money was wasted or the difficulty gets to high that everyone shuts down their rigs and just buys and sells the coins upright.

These are things some people don’t think about that can effect the cryptoc community for the better or the worst.

How about yourself?

Just shooting out my results to my Overlock

Getting a super stable 300hashes+ with not touching clock or reducing or raising the power limiter and memory I did not raise over +380

Temp is nice and cool too.

I don’t think it’ll be wasted if we make ROI. I don’t see it becoming obsolete anytime this year though. There’s always another coin to mine, I wanna get into Eth classic, grab a few dozen coins and hold because i see that price has the potential to go up.

No neither do I to be honest. It’ll probably be all like Bitcoin. Price will go up and down and up and down. People will mine it…not mine it. mine it. not mine it.

I stopped mining Bitcoin when 1 BTC was worth $650 CAD Come back and its 3800. But now dropping a lot again.

At this point from what I learnt. I’m not stopping mining anymore. It’s not worth it.

And yea. I’m just into etherum and zcash right now. but AMD seems to mine Etherum a lot better.

My buddy on zcash gets 85 hashes less than me but on etherum. He gets the exact same speed as me.

Ok, just for reference. Im currently getting 200-220~sols from 1060 3 GB cards at 54w. I had to disappear for a week during a heatwave and undervolted them so as not to but my house down, it’s a good 4+sol/w!!!
