1660 Super - OC Settings - Watts - Recommendations

the 930 core clock is the best setting. Ive also found my wattage to drop below 70w consistently too.

Thanks mate :+1:

Hi,

I am using 2 GTX 1660 Super natively on motherboard PCIe slots. First one on the x16 slot and the other one on the x4 slot. Tried all posible overclock and stock settings but the first GPU is over heating compaired with the second one. I tried swaping the GPUs, still the one in the x16 slot is heating up.
Motherboard Asus Z490P. Please help me on this.

62 is not that bad really… try putting a fan behind the cards… thats what I do and I get around 52-58ish…

But 62 is fine, its just the 80% fan that will in the long run wear them out faster… also depends if that card has 1 or 2 fans on it… i have a Asus Phoenix which has only one fan and it runs hotter…

Sure I will put a fan. but my doubt is why only one card is heating. other one is normal and stable.

i suspect that there is less airflow or its the one closest to the CPU?

I have 2 3060s in a motherboard using the 2 slots… the one closer to the CPU is hotter than the other one…

yes it is closer to the CPU.

theres your culprit then… the hot air blwoing from the CPU fan is making the backside hotter… try to get a fan to push that air out/away if you can.

actually my cpu is super cool. even if i touch the cpu heatsink it is super cool. I am using Core i3-10100F CPU @ 3.60GHz which is without gpu. so it is cool.

lol so maybe just the silcone lottery doing its thing :wink:

i have the same gpu , 2 fan gpu is really hard to cool them. try to cool them. I have b540f and i dont have any temperature problem. first slot i have 2070s, at second slot i have 3060ti with coolermaster pci 16x riser cable(which doesnt need to give voltage just plug and play) and third slot which is 8x or 4x i think, i have 1660s. I already trying do undervoltage 1660s but it doesn’t give 32mh/s. which other cards gives 75 70w with 31mh/s … I dont understand why i can’t undervoltage this card.

guys my evga 1660s ultra doesn’t under voltage. Why?? now mining with 84W 31.9Mh/s. I tried every possible but I can’t unvervoltage it…

What memory does it have?

hynix

You sure it’s a « super » as I have a evga 1660 Ultra with Hynix but it’s DDR5 and not 6 so my settings are 1300 GPU and 1300 memory… gives me a bit over 25MH and it runs at 62watts

If it’s a super, I would think you can use the same settings for mine which use Hynix and that’s absolute GPU core of 1000 and memory -1004 which gives me around 75watts and 31.7HR

Mine 1660s SC ultra is gddr6. I don’t understand why I can’t undervoltage… Unlucky

How does this look.? New to HiveOS and just got a single card up and running. Any recommended changes? Also, what does the 22% represent?

The 22 percent is the fan speed percentage. Keep an eye on your temps… I usually have mine around 40-60% if need be

Thanks @Froggy … What is your typical (avg) temp? I set my fan to 32% and setting @ 48 degrees now.

48 degrees is decent and you are not using the fans too too much to wear them out faster, … mine hover around right now 50-60 degrees with fans blowing on them too

Room temp is 24-25 degrees.

For your settings, you could try a GPU setting of 1000 rather than just leaving it at nothing…

these are my settings, rock solid… .
