Let’s see if we can adjust the power target in EVGA’s overclock utility to improve those numbers. Also, at the higher heat levels the cards may not last as long.

In the winter time this might not be too bad, but in the summer it would require another fan. We are making more mining Zencash, Zcash, or an equihash coin, but after paying more for power, our profit is 1 cent per day less ($1.94 profit instead of $1.95 profit) than Ether and we’re putting out way more heat (10 degrees more per card) that we have to get rid of. Profitability wise, it is the same as mining Ether (according to WhatToMine). Without adjusting the power targets, are cards are running around 73 to 75 degrees which is acceptable, but putting out more heat than our power optimized Ethereum mining rig. The GTX1060 GPUs could take 1000 MHz overclocking without crashing (they could only do 950 MHz on Ethash) so I added in some Core overclock tooĪt these settings, EWBF is reporting efficiency for both cards of around 2.7 – 2.8 Sol/Watt. I put the Core clock back to stock and played with the memory overclock to see what sort of max hashrate I could get without crashing. Total mining rig power draw (including motherboard/power supply etc)

According to the ZCash GTX 1060 6GB hashrates for my specific EVGA GTX 1060 6GB SSC card, others were seeing up to 350 Sol/s for each card – so there’s definitely room for improvement! Overclock Settings With those settings, I am getting about 508 Sol/s to 510 Sol/s and consuming about 171 watts. I want to mine ZenCash, and with my GTX 1060 6GB cards I’m currently getting about 255 sols/s using my optimized Ethereum or Ethash settings that I outlined here
