Hi, I'm mining zcash with dstminer with 6 gtx 1060 Msi gaming x plus 6gb and getting about 340sols with settings: power limit 70%, core clock +100, mem clock +450. I just bought power meter to measure power consumption from the wall and its showing about 830w which is way too high for that power limit. I then tried to change power limit (higher and lower) with MSI AB, and power consumption barely changes even when I go to 100%. Then I figured no matter what power limit I set, voltage remains about 1050mv, so I guess I'm not changing anything with that power limit slider.
Any suggestion?
Thanks
Your power slider should be affecting the watts your cards drain. Maybe it's the bios of the cards not being affected by changes you make in the OC software? I had similar issue on a 970 evga with dual bios, with voltage control though. It also depends on your PSU efficiency. Try lowering power limit to 60% or 55% even and see if then power from wall drops below 800w. Just so you know if the slider is really not working. Make sure to apply settings to all cards.
When I lower power limit to 50% then power consumption drops to 680w and voltage in MSI shows 930-950mv, but almost every other power limit shows the same voltage and power consumption from the wall. Even when i pushed it to 104% from 70%, power consumption remained 830w and again cards at 1050mv. What is the problem?
