Title: Mining rates randomly dropping below 3MHash/s?
Post by: Lampitosgames on April 14, 2013, 05:19:25 PM
Hi, so I got home today, and my miner is chugging along just fine.  However, my personal computer that I mine with while idling has been having issues.  When I start it up, I'll normally get about 100Mhash/s

but after about 10 minutes, it instantly drops to about 3mhash

WHAT IS WRONG?  Cannot find ANYTHING on this topic, and it seems super weird to me.  I have a gtx 660 TI, and it has been working well for about a month now (ever since I started mining with it).  Why the sudden drop?  Anybody else have this before?  Is there any way to fix it?  Thanks for replies guys, I'm pretty scared that something is wrong with my GPU.

My GPU gets hotter when I'm playing skyrim than when it does mining, so heat is not the issue (Never seen it above 80C)
also, defrag runs once a week
so yeah....
