Title: Starting a 1070 TI Mining Rig - Thoughts ? Post by: MetaMiner on December 25, 2017, 11:58:28 PM Hello CryptoWorld ! I'm willing to start a mining rig with 3x 1070 Ti's and I'm wondering about the lifespan of the cards even though I think this shouldn't be a problem if proper cooling exists.
I currently have 1x 1070 Ti and this card is mining via NiceHash at 5$/day, running pretty cool @59C with 75% fan speed - OC applied +200/+450. From your experience, will the cards last for 2 yrs without dying ? Should I worry about this ? Thanks and Happy Holidays ! Title: Re: Starting a 1070 TI Mining Rig - Thoughts ?

My advice would be cut out the middle man. And if anything, wait for them to pay back the lost money they lost in the hack. Title: Re: Starting a 1070 TI Mining Rig - Thoughts ? Post by: QuintLeo on December 26, 2017, 11:15:23 PM At 59C, card lifetime should exceed the warrentee and be measured in years.
75% fan, if you have cards with good BALL BEARING fans, should also have a lifetime measured in years - but might want to turn them down some, 50-60% should keep the cards under 65C which is a better "balance" on card vs fan lifespan. If they are NOT ball bearing fan cards, expect to replace the fans WELL before warrentee period runs out - even if you turn them down, which WILL help some. |
