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
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
also kinda sad that I couldn't find the supermicro BIOS that allowed me to OC
eh these were more performance oriented
