How the hell is it possible ? Both Whattomine and NiceHash calculator give me Ethereum a lot more profitable.
So it means that ETH is more profitable for your setup than ZEC For mine - ZEC is way better than ETH, this is why I'm mining ZEC

I'm wondering why you are all rushing to mine ZCash. It find it less profitable than Ethereum. Moreover Flypool is abosultely not giving me what I should get.
I am at Nicehash mining ZEC for BTC. ~25% lower powerdraw than ETH I am doing more profits from ZEC on a daily basis for sure. How the hell is it possible ? Both Whattomine and NiceHash calculator give me Ethereum a lot more profitable. There would even be a 3$ gap for me between them. That might be related to my configuration, but in my case Ethereum is a lot more profitable. I'd go for NiceHash given the pain it would save me, but considering that it doesn't work on my Nvidia rig, I had to ignore that option. This may be an interesting site to evaluate the most profitable coin based upon equipment and capabilities: http://whattomine.comThat's what I use. However, most the profits are not correct. All the ccminer-based coins (Vertcoin, Feathercoin...) are very accurate, but in case of Ethereum, that's not wonderful. And I don't even talk about ZCash ! I've passed to Ethermine to see if that pool is reliable or not and I'll advise about where to settle.

ZEC is going to zero very quickly and with the information that they have been talking about the introduction of ZEC on The World Crypto Network - The Bitcoin Group https://youtu.be/BSynwksRDjw I do not see much longevity to ZEC...pump -n- dump. From our perspective, the worst that can happen is that I loose a days wages, based upon my ability to convert quickly.

over night results using -i 2
best rig at 119H/s is the asus z170a using an i5 6500t
worst rig at 108H/s is the biostar z170a using an i3 6300t
the asrock h81 is at 113 H/s using an intel i5 4570s
the asrockz170 extreme 3 is at 115 H/s using an i7 6700t
What does it all mean? I suspect to run at -i 2 you need an i5 .
I also have virtual memory set at 32000-64000 on all rigs.
Very odd results given that the i7 6700t is near-identical clocks to the i5-6500t and has a LOT bigger on-chip cache, so should be punching out it's processing faster. Probably other factors at work too - have you considered swapping parts around in testing?

I was having generally no issues with flypool when I was running Zcash - they had a couple of stat dropouts but the actual earnings were still there, after the first couple days when ALL of the pools seemed to be having "teething pain" issues. I'm not "rushing to mine ZCash" any more though, since for *my* setup at this point Ethereum is more profitable (and I'm starting to shift some rigs out of ETH as profitiability on IT is starting to drop again). I do keep crunching the numbers though, just in case. I suspect some folks expect ZCash to have at least one more spike fairly soon, and are trying to mine to have lots on hand if that happens - or they expect the price to rise long-term.

I am a bit confused as to why the asrock board is better then the biostar board. but it is the only board with an hdd a 1 tb samsung with a vm set at 320000 to 640000 by far the biggest vm. I will check more deeply on this build.

I will check more deeply on this build. Perhaps check the BIOS and confirm the PCIe gen/speed. I read elsewhere that ZEC uses much more PCIe bandwidth than ETH. Maybe this is throttling the performance. Although, this may have been fixed in the updated miner.

did not try -i 0 yet
I am testing -i 1 now
I figure all of the pcs have good intel cpus. I don't do anything but mine with them. So -i 1 or -i 2 should do better then -i 0
So far -i 2 did not seem to be a lot better.
Nice bounce for zec today up to .183 btc so I sold .5 zec still have .5 zec

In the end, which one appear to you to be the more reliable : Nanopool or Flypool ? (in terms of reported hashrate accuracy, effective payment etc ...)

This is what I have heard from zcash forums Flypool hash rate is all over the place but payouts are on time Nana pool hash rate is stable but payouts sometimes get delayed I mine at flypool and I can say payouts are on time and hash rate is up an down

While all my rigs have virtual windows memory of 24gb - 34gb. I observe that the rigs with more physical RAM performs better and stable. Also the 4xGPU rigs on my Biostar Z170 performs well and stable, compared to 5xGPU and 6xGPU rigs. Could it be that more physical RAM and qty of GPU will be a factor, in addition to CPU type (i5 or better) and virtual windows memory (big virtual mem pool)?

Will try flypool to compare. NB : I have many payout all the day from Nanopool , no worries about it. But not sure to be paid as much as I should !

WOW!! CZM 6.0 is awesome!!! Getting 140S/s+ on my MSI RX470 4GBs Sampled v6 on my rigs: 290x at 166-168 H/s - speechless! R9-390 at 177-180 H/s - OMG! RX 480 at 140-142 H/s - best improvement since v5. R9-Nano at 191-194 H/s - OMG x 100 ! I am really off my seat on the R9-Nanos. I think the HBM memory on the Nanos and Furys makes a big a difference. These Nanos are also -100mV BIOS mod already so I dont even touch any AB settings, just install v6 put -i 4 and let it rip!
