Hi guys. I have a mining rig [5x1060 2x1070] up and running for sometime. My total hashrate is around 183.2 MH/S. For Overclocking I use MSI Afterburner 4.4.0. I have this weird problem.

- Anyone GPU crashes randomly [Not quite often]

- Overclocking fails for one or two GPUs

When 1 GPU crashes, the rig restarts and run with the remaining GPUs. I had to manually restart the PC to get it working again. First I thought it might be the risers but even after replacing the risers, getting this problem yet again. The second problem is frequently killing me now. From my observation it happens at night mostly. My rig has 5 numbers of 120mm cooling fan which exhausts the heat out of my rig. The room where I keep my rig, has no proper windows, 2 exit doors. In the morning I keep the doors open for air circulation, but in the night I have to close one door which heads to my backyard [Couldn't keep this open all night]. A lot of time I sensed a huge heat surge in the room in the night. Will that might be the problem? No fresh air being pumped in cause the OC to fail? Well, these are my assumptions, please tell me your suggestions guys.

Thanks in advance.

GPU high temp may cause hardware to fail its a basic rule, if no Freshair coming in to the room then your GPU's may accumulate heat rapidly, you can check this at night and monitor them thru MSI to prove the theory.
