Title: Will mining at very cool temperatures significantly shorten the lifespan of 1070 Post by: Subie666 on June 07, 2017, 02:03:54 PM I have been mining Siacoin with my GTX1070 for a couple days with very few breaks. Is it bad to run my GPU 24/7?
Stays cool around 47C but i occasionally get up to 52C, i give it a break for a couple hours per day.

I run gpus 100 days in a row zero issues turning it on and off is worse then 24/7/365 assuming that the gear is under 75c there is no reason to turn it off and give it a breather Title: Re: Will mining at very cool temperatures significantly shorten the lifespan of 1070 Post by: jwarren81 on June 07, 2017, 03:03:57 PM Most computer parts will last longer if you turn them on and leave them on. Shutting them down and powering them on causes changes in temperature, which over time can cause failures in solder points. Like most things the solder and parts expand when heated and contract when cooled. This repeated over a longer period is probably one of the biggest killers of electronics. Keeping them spun up and warm will reduce the stress on them, even when running at 100%.

You know giving it breaks is worse for the card than running 24/7 right? Also 52C isn't bad at all Title: Re: Will mining at very cool temperatures significantly shorten the lifespan of 1070 Post by: Bare on June 07, 2017, 06:23:20 PM 52°C is not bad, It's great!! I love them when they are 63~65°C or below

Newer parts, anything from the last twenty years is best just left running. It is like a car in a way. You would be better just driving down the road than hitting the gas to full, backing off and shutting the car off, then repeating the process.
