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

just a lucky card

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

glad to be rid of the fx 8320 though

had to do that with a client's build, lol

without an OC that thing was producing heat to compete with my 1060

and my 1060 alone is doing well to make me block off my heater

honestly the 1060 is really efficient

yeah so is ryzen 5

pretty content with this build

I'm surprised how cold my room still gets with two Xeons and a 980 OC'd to 1480 (I didn't really push too much)

xeons have to be efficient tho

since they're for databases and shit
