Topic: Cards Throttling Around 100c - page 2. (Read 1852 times)
I don't understand how it's possible for you to get a GPU to run at 100*C. Do you overvolt the cards, run them in a sealed styrofoam box, and set the fan speed to minimum?
Ive noticed now that its really hot out, a lot of my LTC mining rigs running much hotter and some of the cards are hitting 100-103c and begin to thermal throttle. The effect is that the hashrate goes down, because if I add external cooling (extra fans etc) the hashrate goes back up to around normal when the cards are at 80-90c.
So basically I need a lot of external fans to keep my cards at a high hashrate, but Im wondering how much of the heat is related to scrypt rather than SHA256 mining, and what you experiences are with thermal throttling, GPU fan death and heat related component failure, and overall the best way to run rigs in the heat.
Right now I have a 80mm case fan on one of my GPUs that had its fan die, its works OK but still not as good at the OEM fan + shell which seems odd.
