I have been mining ARGO too, but using Windows and using either the KlausT ccminer version 8.19 or the ccminer by Alexis78 (cuda9) in skein algo with intensity set to 28 (1060s) or 29 (1070s and 1080s).

I can't be bothered to look up all the individual hash-rates (because I would have to shut the miners down and remove the -q flag) but I have 2 x 1080, 4 x 1070 & 4 x 1060 6GB and I am doing around 5Gh/s. All cards powerlimited to 75%, core +100 memory -500

I hope this helps, but it would mean you would have to install windows, find those miners (the KlausT one is easy - he has an often updated github) and install MSI Afterburner.

I tried nvoc and it's great for common mainstream coins but if you want to mine obscure/new stuff like ARGO it can be easier in windows because you have more obvious and understandable options, just because windows is built for stupid average people and linux is built by/for software developers.

or maybe when you said ARG you meant argentum, but that is a scrypt coin so when you said ARG I thought you must mean ARGO since it is skein.

at those clock/power/memory settings and for all those cards + 2 motherboards, etc I consume about 1400-1500 watts.

Yes the coin is ARGO Grin

I've noticed that with linux I can push the core up past 150 without suffering any instability; the downside is that linux is less user friendly.
