Hello, I just wanted to know if anyone had any stable OC settings for the ASUS GTX 1070 Dual Series 8gb OC edition card for mining equihash. I tried +150 Core and +400 Memory Clock but and it pulled ~464 Sols/s, but when I stopped mining immediately and started playing a game (CSGO), it would freeze and I would have to force restart my pc by pressing the power button on my case.

Has anyone tried any other settings or does anyone know any stable OC settings for this card? Thx to anyone who answers. :)

Reduce your overclock, if its freezing your GPU is not stable.
Every card is different, you need to start from 0 and work up in small increments until instability is reached, then reduce the clocks to return stability.

A card overclocked to near border line instability for the purpose of mining will usually crash when under a gaming load, as gaming strains the card much differently than mining.

So should I create two profiles, one for mining and one for gaming/normal use?

For overclocking what intervals should I start from in increasing clocks(Is 50 for memory and 25 for core for every step too much)? Should I touch the core voltage and power limits?

Yes, that's what I do. I mine with my gaming rigs as well.
Don't bother with the core voltage, it's not worth it. And for my mining power limit I have it at minus 22% power, for gaming its back at 100%.

The increments you listed work fine.

May I know why you mine at -22% power? Doesn't more power = more hashes/second, and more h/s = more money?

Also what you do you use?

More power does usually equate to higher hashes, but it also equates to more heat, stress on the GPU, and a higher power bill. I have many different GPUs, but I also have the 1070 so I'll use that one as an example. If its at 100% power I can get 470 sols/s mining zcash. It pulls nearly 200w at 100% power. When I reduce the power to -22%, it drops 8C in temp and only uses ~150w but I still get 450 sols. Most people, who pay much higher for electricity than I do, actually run closer to -40% power. It's less sols/s but their profit is higher, because they get more sols per watt.
