I'm having difficulties getting my 1060's up above 21Mh/s. I'm hoping that the veterans here can help me understand why my hashrate is lower than others are getting, even with the 3Gb cards?

- 6 x MSI GeForce GTX 1060 Gaming X+ 6gb Cards
- Samsung Memory
- 85% power / +125 Core / +850 Memory == ~64C

- Windows 10 64-bit latest version
- 8Gb RAM
- 16Gb Virtual Memory
- Tried latest Nvidia drivers as well as driver 382.33 (read someone was using this version and got better results, I however did not increase my hashrate)

- Using Claymore rev 9.5 (I know it isn't latest but had same results prior to 9.6 release) and only single mining ETH

I do not understand what I can do to increase my hashrate. Any ideas?

I get about 23 MH/s on Claymore with pretty similar settings (+250 core, +1000 mem, 75 power, fan auto, latest NVidia driver). I'm using a zotac 1060 6gb mini that has Samsung mem. I can push it a couple more Mh/s using genoil's ethminer with the 1060 optimizations but it randomly crashes anywhere from several hours to a few minutes in and the way it crashes is it doesn't exit, just hangs. Claymore seems more stable so far though that's relative. Since you are only a couple Mh/s off of my reading maybe it's down to just your particular card. These can all be kind of squirrely to get going. Are you able to borrow another 1060 and try with same settings? If you are using a riser maybe try bypassing that with your current card to test.

Thanks for your input.

I never tried using Genoil's ethminer. Once I got Claymore I edited the single line to include my info for ethermine and left it at that. Should I have set anything else up in my bat file for Claymore other than my specific wallet & rig ID's? I'm literally at the max for these cards, and I've also experienced the odd freeze which locks my rig up as well. That was after about a week of running non-stop with memory at +900. Decreased it down to +850 and so far so good.

All my cards are attached to risers. All of my cards were purchased at the same time and have the same manufacturer. Unfortunately, I do not have any other cards to try out. I guess I could unplug the risers from the MB slots and connect one card to the PCI-E slot and test that.
