paperweights are boring
at least in this case i'm experimenting with overclocking techniques
my 1060 absofuckinglutely smashes the r7 240
you can always oc cards higher in linux than you can in windows. not sure why but thats how it works.
these aren't overclocks done in the OS
these are done by reprogramming the BIOS
im not sure how to do that tbh
Find bios editor for card series
then you flash it once you feel safe
most miner boards have bios tweaked to allow for higher ocs
Miner boards sometimes aim to reduce voltage while overclocking
which is useful for gaming too tbh
are you oc'ing for gaming or mining
this is just experimentation
gtx 1060 cant OC for shit last i checked due to locked bios and a voltage cap programmed into the locked bios
you should be able to get 325 sols out of a 1060 with +200core +900mem +110w
mine will push the core to around +250
its probably not stable tho.
i keep the memory around 800 and the power raises by 10%
it is
but until someone cracks the pascal bios, voltage cant be modified to go high for extreme overclocking
not that i want to overclock a card outside of the lock while its still in warranty
you can change the wats in msi afterburner for windows or other os's in linux
i use afterburner for it
but after a certain percentage, the voltage slider is useless
i think it was 15%
then the card refuses to go any higher
now you can physically bypass the regulator IC on the 1060 too
but it is wayyy to valuable to do that without good reason
ah I don't do hardware stuff or BIOS OC
as in actually messing with the BIOS image, not using a OC tuner in BIOS
I'm at a loss with overclocking ryzen too, but i dont have much interest in that
Ryzen is a separate beast from Intel tbh
AM3+ was shit
ryzen is a separate beast from anything before it too
I've overclocked phenom and piledriver (i think thats the fx 8000 series)
literally AM3+ you didn't even have to OC and it would throttle the north bridge
bulldozer is FX 8000
yeah i put tiny fans on my am3+ board around the north bridge
zipties ftw
