Up mem for +700.
Here, with mem upped +800 (5500), 500 sol @ 60% TDP (126W). Make sure you up the mem with excavator's OC functionality and also set '-or'. Use '-od' if your PC is a bit slow and two threads aren't initialized BEFORE overclocks are applied. If you use third party tools for OCing, you will not be able to reach so high memory as for some reason, when CUDA is initialized/deinitialized, cards go into p0 state for short period of time and with very high memory overclock this can result in crash (memory clock p2 state is always lower).
Well pardon me, maybe I'm missing something important, but what's the point to overclock up to 800 memory for 500 sols/s, if I obtain the same speed with no overclock on another soft? How can it be safer? When you overclock memory, your power consuption does not increase much, maybe for up to few % only. But if algorithm is coded properly and relies more on memory, you will gain more speed at the end with lower TDP. In fact, you can reach 510 sol with 5500 mem at 126W TDP (also doing core OC). And you get full 510 sols at the pool because there is no fee.

With the risk of frying the memory? how is it better coded when you need faster device (with overclocking, nearly 20%) to get the same result with 20 watt less? I just don't see what we have to gain, in term of profit, by overclocking 600$ card when it's obviously not needed. and for the devfee at 2% it's still higher sol/s . For one card, minus pc wattage (around 160 w) taken with the prob on the wall: excavator (with +800 memory ) power cost per day 0.43 per month 12.9 ewbf (without oc) power cost per day 0.53 per month 15.9 profit 3 $ per month even with a big farm the risk doesn't seem to match the profit, taken that oc can fry your card memory, but maybe I 'm wrong.

Can you post the command line you are using for overclocking and lowering the TDP for the 1070s? Just want to see an example to work from.
Thanks.

If you are so affraid of "frying" your card, then perhaps you shouldn't be mining at all and just let the card be in idle mode I don't think it needed sarcasm, but it was fun, so it's ok Again I'm no expert in mining on cuda, and I see no one on gaming forum who overclock this high the memory of a 1080. So +800 feels like possible bacon smell to me, maybe not. And yes, when I'm mining with my AMD rigs or my this nvidia gaming pc, I consider all the costs even the burning overkill of a card, risks cost compared to profits. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't see that as being frightened by the outcome of an extreme oc. Overclocking AMD of 10% with modified bios for 200€ (in France) 480s is ok because the cards are "cheap" compared to the nvidia ones.

If your cards ID is 0 then the example for setting +100 core, +700 mem and 60 tdp would be: -os 0 100 700 60 It is recommended to also clear overclocks when excavator quits: -os 0 100 700 60 -or If you are having troubles with high memory clock (driver crash, freeze, cuda error etc at launch), try setting higher overclock delay (eg 10 seconds): -os 0 100 700 60 -or -od 10 If you are so affraid of "frying" your card, then perhaps you shouldn't be mining at all and just let the card be in idle mode I don't think it needed sarcasm, but it was fun, so it's ok Again I'm no expert in mining on cuda, and I see no one on gaming forum who overclock this high the memory of a 1080.

Overclocking AMD of 10% with modified bios for 200€ (in France) 480s is ok because the cards are "cheap" compared to the nvidia ones. Haven't seen a Pascal card to die because of high overclock. We did destroy one due to water leakage and some stuff was burnt on it, but never due to high memory clock and we are running them 24/7 mining. Just make sure you have adequate cooling, which you already need if you are mining 24/7.

Why does the NiceHash GUI run the EQM miner instead?
Is Excavator able to push beyond 60% TDP, and how does it perform on 50% ?
I may need help configuring Excavator equihash for the NiceHash pool. I could not get EWBF to work on it before. I am downloading now and I will see what I batch configurations are in it.

I was expecting a readme or the excavator.txt to explain all the settings to the miner. Seems like the .bat files contain most of that with no help on the OC settings. I think a full list of settings and commands is something very basic that should be added in.
I do not see any difference in performance at 50% TDP for equihash on my 1070 over EQM from the NiceHash GUI so I'll stick with that for now. As for mining and holding it seems the 1070 FTW pumps much higher Sol/s over all the other ones on EWBF. This seems isolated to just FTW's and certain 1070 editions but it is some sign that there is more optimization to be made with Equihash
I've seen claims of 1080's hitting 600 Sol/s on EWBF also

I have been testing this a lot and have very good results at 120W TDP limit at each card, i would say it is very close to EWBF and without the fee and lost switching time it is better. I will switch all of my rigs once I have little more time

Well for me the miner is bit slower on 1070 cards by 200sol/s in total. It performs well on GTx1080 and 1080Ti

Anyone tested on the pools. I get a bit faster hashrate poolside with nheqminer than EFBW's miner. Probobly because of the donation code and poolswitching.. I am not using the excavator, but I guess same. somebody should setup a test and compare two identical cards for 24hours...
The excavator is good on the 1070, and not so good on the 1060 3gb...

Hi Ive been testing your new version 1.1.3a been having great results with the 1070's at -30-40 tdp very similar speeds to EWBF now (well done) and with no fee(thank-you)
im trying to add excavator to my multi algo bat.. it is working but as my bat switches algos by stratum disconnect.. excavator will not close and instead it say's stratum disconnect retrying in 12 seconds and just stays on loop doing that..
my question is there a command a can add to the bat file to make excavator close when stratum is disconnected?
i have tried excavator.exe -h for a full list of current commands but there doesn't seem to be anything related to stratum disconnect or close if connection lost..
your help would be much appreciated
Regards Nemo

There is no such command, but wait for API commanding interface to be implemented, you will be able to do magic with it once it is done.

Intriguing results for low power compared to 100% TDP.
OLD
EVGA Hybrid GTX 1070 x 6

This is intriguing when you run 8 rigs in an apartment (48x GTX 1070) as the outside temp starts to warm up. It's also interesting because at 70-75 TDP I could easily run 3x rigs per 20A circuit.
