Title: Question on voltage monitoring? Post by: calculatorduck on July 09, 2017, 09:22:54 PM Afterburner contains a warning that allowing two programs to monitor voltage could potentially damage a card. I also found some old forum threads where people using Afterburner and HWmonitor were having voltage spikes.
My question is this- I use EVGA Precision to adjust the clocks and fans on my cards. It has a voltage monitor that cannot be disabled. I mine using ccminer 2.0 which also reports the power draw of the card intermittently...is there any conflict doing this? Does ccminer actually report the card's watts by accessing the card VRM? Anyone know? Title: Re: Question on voltage monitoring?

I actually just asked on the ccminer thread here. I'm sure EVGA's software accesses the VRM monitor but I don't know if mining software does too...or if it even matters in this case. Only Afterburner seems to mention it, but some googling did turn up some people who used two monitoring softwares and claimed they damaged their cards or had instability. |
