OK, this is the gpu that I received.
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpudb/b3999/evga-gtx-1070I'm trying to tinker with MSI Afterburner.
Unfortunately, My card is now running on 80 C with fan at 60%. The whine is starting to bother me..
I am getting only 410 sol/s with Equihash using Excavator 1.3.5a. Here are my other settings.
Power:80
Core:100
Memory:175
I have tried to set the memory high, but notice that the GPU crashes if I push it too far.
Perhaps I am not built for mining. The whine from the fan is like scratching on a blackboard to me...Will I get used to it?
First off, nice rig you got there. A good balance for both gaming and mining.
If the whine is bothering you, i suggest you go and get a decent PSU. Since its not indicated in your specs, its probably a generic noisy one. Go get a 80+ Platinum (more expensive) or Gold rated PSU. It will be more energy efficient and will help you increase profitability in the long run. Also, when mining zcash, you will not need memory. You can even set it to 0 and not see a decrease in your sol/s.
