Mining efficiency? Is it good?

Is this efficient enough? Single 1060 Gaming X 3GB.

Without knowing the power consumption and which currency you mine... can't tell.

Consumption is right there, 165w tops. 0.60MYR = 0.15USD. But is this good enough?

Is 165w the whole system or just the card? 0.15 usd a day? I make more with less power draw on my 390 when downvolted

Whole system, how's your power consumption?

How’d you get your voltage down to 775? I can only get mine down to 800mv. 

 

I sit at about 58% power usage with a hefty memory overclock and core downclock.

I'm about 70/75w with my card only, doing something like 1.15$ a day

Try my settings, turn up the first node until your miner crash then dial back. Underclock only might max out your voltage. So increase clock speed at minimum mV will decrease your power usage. Hope this helps.

Damn, if you undervolt your CPU like mine, at same power consumption you'd be making way lesser than my setup. 2-3.5$ a day.

I have it at 16xxMhz at 800mv on the curve and I can go down more but I have no way to drop below 800mv that I can find

Did you set your power limit to 50%? what 1060 are you using?

I won't even get close to your power consumption. All the system will consume 100w tops.

Btw I meant € not $

No I’m at max power limit, I did everything through the voltage curve. I’m getting roughly 24.2MH/s though (drops to 23.8 sometimes)

 

It’s an Armor OC, but temps aren’t an issue at all with the low voltage. 

 

I’ll try the power limit and see what it does for power consumption

I'm still thinking if I mine this way, will I lose more profit? It should I get slightly better hash rate by going 80w instead of 75w.

You will get a better hash rate, but you'll consume more power.

You need to verify:

1. cost of a kw/h
2. consumption/cost you are aiming for
3. Your actual hashrate/wattage

And that's it. Where I live power is quite expensive (compared to the us anyway) so each watt I save takes a big part in the end. That might not be your case. You have to do some math there.

[FlatBrokeRacing]

unless you pay out the ass for power, its always best to get the highest hash rate for the least amount of power consumed, so by running at 50% TDP and drawing 75w on the card at 22mh/s, but if you bump that to 70% TDP and get say 28mh/s at 120w you will be better off with a slightly higher power draw getting more hash's per second than less power draw and less hash's second. The cost from 75-120w is negligable but you make make 30-40c per day more by a slight bump in hash rate, over a month that adds up.

 

This is all assuming you dont pay out the butt for power, anything UNDER $.15USD per kw/h is cheap power an should be mined with the most hash rate you can squeeze for the least power consumption (eg. what it gets at 100%tdp and overclocked on core, then dial the power down while trying to stay as close to that MAX hash rate you can). it may not sound like much but over 2-3-4-5-6-+ cards 4mh/s adds up to alot per card for slightly more power draw.

What will affect the lifespan of GPU the most when I overclock? Temps or voltage?

temps by far, i try to keep everything under 70c if running prolonged periods, and another thing is to not have the GPU fans winging at 100% either as the fans generally dont like it, 99% of my nvidia stuff will stay under 70C at 50-65% fan speed with no issues.

I see, but I testing 60+c with less than 40% fan speed.
