How to use OC1 kernels  on command line ?  what is parameters ?

THE SYNTAX IS STRICT--

For a simple command line flag, it took a while to figure out.  If you have one (1) card try:

        "miner -a algorithm --OC 1"

If you have four (4) cards try:

        "miner -a algorithm --OC 1 1 1 1"

The flag is space-delineated, do not use commas.  If you have a weak card that will not work with an overclock (OC) kernel, use "0" instead of "1".  A setting of "0" is the same as default, or no setting at all.  If you have improper syntax, the miner may not launch.

I do not believe that setting "--OC 1" for a multi-card rig will work properly, each separate card must have a corresponding "0" (no overclock), or "1" (overclock).

My 3GB 1060 cards and my 1070ti cards see a slight improvement at best.  If I am wrong, please correct me if you know better.       --scryptr
I am using '--oc1'  for 7-card rig.

DOES THE MINER EVEN LAUNCH? --

The flag is "--OC", followed by a space, as in "--OC 1".  If you actually typed "--oc1", the flag that you presented may be completely ignored, at best.  The string"--oc1" is not a correct flag.

Do you notice any improvement in hash rate?  What I do notice is that upon initial launch, there is no report to the console that the overclock kernel is being activated by the miner program.  If there is any improvement in Equihash, it is small.       --scryptr
Guys, you are awesome! I had said that '--oc1' working for 7-cards rig. Why are you still speculating?
