Hi, I have two Founder Edition 1060 6gb cards with Samsung memory. Following some other guides I have seen I have mine set in Afterburner as:
Power limit - 65
Temp limit - 87
Core Clock - -150
Memory Clock - +700
Fan - 65

If I increase the memory clock Claymore is showing GPU errors and today I am finding what I thought were these stable settings are causing one of the GPU's to throttle. My electricity cost of $0.18 so I have to be a bit careful. Has anyone got any ideas how I can get more out of these as the general consensus seems to be that with Samsung ram the memory clock should be able to go much higher.
Thank you

All my samsung memory cards go to +900 and I run them at +850 on 62-64% power. Try it with the core clock at 0. I never adjust my core clock despite what others say because I find there is no gain by doing so. I also don't set the fan at 65 as I prefer the AfterBurner curve but that shouldn't affect anything.

There is a chance your specific card may require more power. As a general rule I keep my power at 75 when testing to make sure it can handle +850. When I know there are no errors, I slowly decrease the power until I find the error point and then run it at 1 or 2 points higher than the minimum. My Founders edition run at 64% and my Zotacs can handle 62%.

afaik power limit in Nvidia cards only refers to how much voltage is given to the core, not the ram. In fact, when you increase that power limit, the core clock goes up aswell. If that was the case that more power limit gives more ram "room" to hit higher frecuencies, ram speed would also run faster as you move the slider, but that does not occur. Moreover, i can garantee that even increasing to 116% the power limiit, will make no difference in how much can i push the ram.

Thanks for this. You were right when I reduced the core to 0 and increased the memory clock the hash rate increased. Interestingly though one card will take +850 and the other +700 at most. This seems odd.
