Hi guys I am very happy with the stability of my rig but I am still trying to get my head around the overclocking.

I dont seem to get much difference between the following combos

Cc 100  mem 100
Cc 100 mem 600
CC 100 mem 1100
Cc -100 mem 1100
CC -200 mem 1100

They all yeild around 24.5 MHs on ETH and 570 MHs in SC

Sometimes I get some nice results which I cant get again.  For example I tried CC -50 and mem 1100 and I had 27 ETH and 570 SC

I tried some other settings then decided -50 and 1100 was the winner only to find this time I get my normal 25 ETH results.  After writing down 50 different combinations and re doing them 3x each I am convinced they all do the same thing.

If I use these cards in windows I can hit 28 ETH and 530 SC with MSI after burner.

I am using ASUS GTX 1070 Turbos which are lower end 1070s unfortunately.  ( Im not expecting founders edition results! )

I did have the one video card setup issue which caused my xorg to default but this is now fixed. ( I can see all card limits set when terminal opens and I can see the settings on the Nvidia server )

Im thinking maybe my process is wrong or am I simply wanting too much out of the cards?

To try new settings I close terminal, edit onebash, save onebash, close onebash and open terminal.  ( do I need yo reatart nvOC at the power? )

I write down the first 10 results and take the average.

With MSI afterburner when I move the sliders I see some big changes but with nvOC the numbers change by small increments and if I do get a big jump I cant seem to re produce it with identical settings at a future date.

If my process is wrong or if my results are about right in Linux I would aporeciate the feedback, thanks!

I think you are using too low of a powerlimit and this is preventing higher OC from making a difference.

What powerlimit are you using?

When dual mining you need to use a higher powerlimit; ensure:

Code:
POWERLIMIT="YES"           

POWERLIMIT_WATTS=125
  or higher maybe up to 135 .  I don't have any ASUS GTX 1070 Turbos so I don't know what is OPT for them.
