Title: Fried GPU? Post by: nachius on August 23, 2013, 07:04:08 PM So I'm pretty sure I've lost my first GPU mining. Yesterday one of my rigs blew a PSU. Installed a new one and begin hashing away great.....
Watching Afterburner I notice my 6850 that used to run sub 80C was climbing and not stopping It hit 98C before I shut it down. checked fans, heatsink, and airflow everything ok other cards in system hasing fine at normal temps. This is at stock settings no overclock. Anyone else experience something similar and confirm the card is beyond use or repair? It can not mine 5 minutes at 100% load without approaching 100C. Thanks, Nachius Title: Re: Fried GPU? Post by: peonminer on August 23, 2013, 07:05:00 PM Quote Fried GPU Does that come with ranch? :P sorry >.< Title: Re: Fried GPU?

I suppose I could setup safe temp limits and gpu restarts until it goes completely, but just getting some verification.... |
