5830 for 2 years and 2 months.
5770 2 years and 1 month.

I just retired them both last month after getting Block Erupters. Both GPU's are still functional.

hi, are you mining for 24/7 also?

You know this thread is over 4 years old...but it does bring back memories...

Yes it does. It was a fun hobby for when I was unemployed. I'm still using those coins to buy Christmas presents for this year. That's real nice to be able to do.

Merry Christmas all!

I have had 83 7950s running for 3 months at max tems of 60c core 80c vrm no dead card yet

Wow. Thats a lot man. How much you make per month?

I would say a big fat Zero. You can't mine Bitcoin with GPU's anymore, as the difficulty is way too high.

No, GPU mining Bitcoin hasn't been profitable for a long time now.

If you want to mine alt coins post in the altcoin section instead of resurrecting outdated posts.

7970 Asus DirectCU II lasted 14 months (mining, and some gaming time). One fan was oiled because of noise after 10 months. After 14 months the machine would BSOD every time I logged into windows (with Aero) or launced 3D apps. Was running 1100 Mhz @ 80'C. Awaiting a replacement.

Good thing my HD7850's both have the same big ass DCII and run 1200 mhz core, 45% fan and not above 57 degrees...

Just keep the dust out of the heat sinks and they should last a long time. Mine start to crash after the filters clog up but cleaning it out restores them to new. My Sapphires undervolted/overclocked run ~62, my Mysts run much hotter ~76 in a closed case.

As for everyone who is pissing and moaning about GPUs will never have an ROI, you are wrong. I spent $80 on my 5850 and it has paid itself off already.

Word to the wise: If you are mining LTC or BTC, then you are doing it wrong!

Yeah I got a 5750 (which is not a really impressive card in any case... but still some extra K or MH/s) for $40 on ebay including delivery and it's paid for itself at least 2 or 3 times over the last few months. The thing that gets me about this card is how incredibly stable it is compared to say dual GPU cards (like my 5970) or 6870. Also I have blocked the fan up a few times and it's gotten to 100+ degree temps without crashing, happily mining away for hours in that heat. Never seen that on a AMD card before.

I've been actively trying to burnout my 5850... lol it's old and my wife says I can only have 2 GPUs so this is how I must get a new 7950

It's been running 24/7 at 90-95 degrees for a little over a month.

That damn thing gets SICK and DEAD, but a restart revives it.

It's never gonna die.

wow dude really, your wife determines how many GPUs you can have LOL. I might accept it as a cost factor, but its doesn't sound like the case. Im sorry man, but thanks for being an example of how I will never let a woman control me.

Well she doesn't really determine how many GPUs I can have... my mother board does. And she is all practical and shit and says "wait until that one burns out until you get a new one" so meh.

Eventually I will get a new mobo that has more PCI-E slots, but then I have to get a new processor, ram, etc.

Only card I've had die was an old 5870 - got it used, mined the hell out of it for 6 months until the screen started artifacting. Sold it on eBay as spares/repairs for the same price I paid for it.

The 6970's fan is a bit wobbly after a year, and so far so good on the 2x 7950, 7850 and 7770. All are 6 months+.

1 x 6970 (65c)
3 x 6950 (65-75c)

24/7 mining (down only for maintenance or shifting to another area) approximately 6 months now.
