how did you clock the gpus?

msi afterburner?

If all else fails yea I will swap the cards and see. I did use MSI afterburner to exactly match specifications, but left to its own the Zotac was almost identical in temp/clock/load already according to gpu-z and afterburner. (zotac was 1 degree cooler BUT only 67% TDP vs 92% for Asus)

I also swapped risers just in case. No luck there either. I have just enough room to actually install the zotac on the board, I might try that also.

But even if Zotac is a lesser brand (which honestly it feels really well made), all things being equal it should not be such a dog. BTW I am using the same miner mining the same pool on both systems BTW, and the 1060s are running at the same speed on both.

I feel like I am missing something somehow, but... I dunno.

I believe it's GPUz that has the "ASIC quality" test? That could also play a part... but 20% a large percentage.

Ill note on a miner that was too hot running mixed FE and aftermarket coolers; the FE cards got lower hashrates... once cooling as adjusted they lifted back up again...

so its seeming like heat is your issue.... you gotta ventilate them pretty well.
