Monitor-Tan Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Weird. All of my 1060's and 1070's were 8 pin. Most of the 1060 3GB's are 6 pin, not all tho. The 1060 3GB's will mostly all be 6 pin For the 6 GB's some are 6, some are 8. It depends on the PCB board. When the 1060's first launched only 6Gb's were launched, 3GB's came out later. The 6 GB's that were originally launched, used Nvidia's PCB boards, and most board partners used their own custom cooling. At launch there weren't a lot of time for the partner boards to come out with their custom design of the pcb boards to make it more OC and Wattage efficient, so if usually founders edition/ Launch edition boards with custom cooling have 6 pin. As few months went on, the board partners then brought out their own custom boards with custom cooling, which increased efficiency for mem/clock speed Over clocking and different phases for the power. Most good boards use 8 Pins now as 8 pins are more stable for overclockers who use it for gaming purpose since these video cards were indeed made for gamers.

Monitor-Tan Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Every 1070 is 8 pin, 6 pin doesnt' supply enough power to run the 1070 on max run, so even the founders edition/launch edition PCB boards are all 8 pins with the 1070.

Monitor-Tan Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Monitor-Tan let's game sometime pal. I actually have the PNY 1060 6GB the non xlr8 version for my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monitor-Tan Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Does the Strix 1060's pump out a good mh compared to the pny? I mean obviously the strix is top of the line for gaming compared to the pny but also cost a lot more since it has better board and clock and mem speed and etc but don't know for mining Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That card is a beast for a 1060. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plommer Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 good thing you got plommer running this operationlol I wish I didn't order/use these ASUS H170's. They are a headache for mining. I know spankie says they should work but after my experiences and reading about other H170 owners with the same complaints I have my doubts. Anyway, I'm taking a break for a bit from troubleshooting as I'm fukkin spent mentally. Will go at it again in a few hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plommer Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Plommer putting in work.Dude this shit is making me mental. Now the 4th card isn't being detected. I have to re-troubleshoot why. I'm hoping its just a shitty riser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeybagadonuts Posted June 22, 2017 Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 good thing you got plommer running this operationNo doubt. When I was buying those GPU things , the guy at Frys was asking me questions about them and he may as well have been speaking in another language Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plommer Posted June 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2017 Or a 6 pin 2-way splitter, which I have several of. can you mail me a couple, pal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping its just a shitty riser. When you say won't work, what's happening? Do you have power to the GPU (are any lights lit up on it) without the 6 pin connected? If you don't, then you definitely have a problem with the riser. Can you see what's being detected on your board through your BIOS (like a board explorer or something)? If so, does it show up detected in there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could just be chance though. Probably the same memory in both. No idea about PNY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see what's being detected on your board through your BIOS (like a board explorer or something)? If so, does it show up detected in there?My motherboard has an explorer function for the GPU's but it appears only to detect 16X cards plugged in directly to the board, anything on a riser doesn't show in the BIOS. I'm letting the rig run for a while with 3 cards just for the sake of making me feel a bit better. I know the 3rd GPU is working well and the riser its in is fine, will test all my risers and cards before attempting to reinstall any additional GPU's.

plommer Posted June 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Spankie, when using simplemining is it really as simple as entering email addy in config file and booting from usb? Are there any other settings that need to be addressed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankie Posted June 23, 2017 Report Share Posted June 23, 2017 Yeah, it's that easy, but nvidia is beta only and you cant overclock them right now until he finishes the stable version. You can run em on the beta, but only at stock speeds. I only run it on AMD's until then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
