Currently I'm hitting about 205Mhs and I don't pay for electricity.5 rigs are in my (small) living room so there's a 10K BTU window air conditioner in there as well.So I was looking forward to the 1060s and 3 weeks ago I got a pair of MSI 1060 6GB cards and I'm really happy with them.Reporting 36 Mhs for the pair and averaging 35Mhs as actual.Stock settings, running ethminer, fans set to 45% and 40%, temps are 55c for each card.And yesterday I took delivery of 2 Gigabyte 1060 6GB cards to finish my final rig.bitcoin silent miner fudHashrate should be about the same - eventually.ethereum raspberry piLess happy this time.So I posted a couple of reviews on Newegg.ca which is where all the cards came from and I thought I'd reproduce them here.*****************1.5 out of 5 eggs Great mining card08/23/2016This review is from: MSI GeForce GTX 1060 DirectX 12 GeForce GTX 1060 GAMING 6G 6GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 ATX Video CardPros:Fast , coolBang for the buckRock solid 18Mhs at stock with Linux and ethminer from repos.Cons:Bang for the buck?Bought 2 of these 21 days ago for $370 CDN each.Now they are $481 CDN.ethereum miner windows

WOW!Of the 12 Nvidia cards that I run the next hottest is a 980 classy at 59c, and that sits right on top of a 980ti.Other Thoughts:Hot.Really hot.Really, really hot.Like a pizza oven.Buy one of these for Xmas - give it to someone you hate.My only air-cooled 980ti runs at 53c and it's pulling 150w+.This is NOT a qc issue, this is by design - shoddy design and a fu attitude.I have 2 Gigabyte 970 triple fan cards - they have been running 24/7 for over 9 months.bitcoin mining and luckZero problems.Now this.No refunds, no exchanges, RMA for two more of the same.bitcoin veiligCost of shipping, loss of use.Just have to wait until the fans burn out - which they will.kurs bitcoin androidThen RMA and sell the new cards to a gamer.And add Gigabyte to my shitlist.*********So, those are the reviewsHere's some proof -OK, so I had to sit and wait a bit for the wattage to fluctuate to get that exact match.bitcoin r7

1 Comments ethfan 458 August 2016 0 Vaudreuil 15 August 2016 @ethfan You need to add the repos to Synaptic.sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum - also I addsudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-qtsudo add-apt-repository ppa:ethereum/ethereum-devUpdate the repos and then search for "ethereum" and "ethminer"Those will pull in all the other bits and pieces.You may not actually need ethereum if you are just mining but it's a habit I have now and I sometimes use geth.Then open a terminal and - ethminer --farm-recheck 200 -G -F http://10.42.0.1:8080/rig idor similar.I used to be a big fan of AMD cards particularly because of the DP floating point.But increasing driver problems and the introduction of the Maxwell cores sent me to team blue.Genoil's Cuda only works on Ubuntu 14.04 and 14.10 (I think) which is the main reason I don't use it.But there are no AMD drivers available for 16.04 so 14.04 / 14.10 is probably the way to go.But there is one other problems with Linux / AMD from my perspective.The utility AMDOverdriveCtrl is no longer supported.This is just a GTK front end for the AMD command line utility but it is / was really excellent.Enabled you to over/under clock and to set temperature/fan gradients.The image I posted is from the Nvidia-smi utility which is excellent but you have to set fixed values for the fan speedsHope that helps.

I have gone through different bios setting guides and the common problem seems to be getting all six cards to work.I have got them all running, they are just hashing at a fraction of what they should be.I have run ddu uninstaller and reinstalled the drivers a number of times and installed cuda 8 and the windows c++ redistributable packages for visual studio.No matter the many different things I've tried, if the cards are hashing they are doing it at this speed.I dont know what I've missed.has anyone had a similar problem or does this sound at all familiar to anybody?anyone have ideas of what i might have done wrong or what part of my setup is causing this?any help is greatly appreciated.this was quite an investment for me and is performing quite disappointingly.thank you for any help you offer I Have same problem.Did you resolved it?0 CainnGeeZzy 2 June 13 cveks said: dtearth said:hey everyone.Have yas both got same GPU?Its it this GPU >> MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X+ 6GThis GPU has 9Gbps GDDR5 memory..

The thing is all cards are running the exact same clocks (according to MSI afterburner) and EVGA does ~23MH/s while the others do 19MH/s.These are overcloced settings, on stock they do 19MH/s and ~15MH/s respectively.As of GPU-z these are the exact same cards with exceptions of memory - Samsung vs Hynix.When mining the usage on EVGA is ~96%GPU 100% memory controller whereas on MSI it's 100%GPU and ~95% memory controller.Again clocks are the same.Have any of you notices such a big differences between two 1060's?0 dtearth 7 June 15 bosz said:@dtearth please make sure you're on windows 10 anniversary update, please also try genoil miner with -U switch instead of -G (use CUDA not OpenCL).Guys I'm having another issue, got 6x1060 rig with 5xMSI GeForce GTX 1060 3GT OC 3GB and 1x EVGA GeForce GTX 1060 SC GAMING 3GB.I will try that.I decided to uninstall everyrhing and do a clean reinstall of Windows, then update to 1607. reinstall the 1.D BIOS to the motherboard, the drivers, then reinstall nvidia drivers.

someone suggested disconnecting the vnc cable.I'm not using one as far as I know.Should i disconnect the HDMI and view it remotely?should I reinstall the c++ visual studio drivers as well?And do you know which mobo utilities I should install?some seem unnecessary, and i don't know if there are some that would interfere with mining.should I install all the GPU utilities as well?gaming app and all that?those dont all seem necessary either, but i don't know.I will reinstall the CUDA driver as well.not totally sure what else I should be thinking about.but thank you for the heads up on 1607 June 150 dtearth 7 June 15 1 zono 155 June 17 0 Nebell 39 June 17 June 170 mmatiasn 9 June 18 @dtearth I'm having issues getting more than one card to be recognized by windows.Could you go over your mobo settings?0 netie 1 June 19 @dtearth I have exactly the same problem.All of my 6 GTX 1060 3 gb cards have Hynix memory and I can't get them above 19 Mh/S (stock is 15 Mh/s).
