Title: Will this bios flash shorten gpu life ? Post by: tipac on January 30, 2018, 02:34:42 PM Hello
I was lucky to get 8 pieces of XFX - AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card - Black/crimson for 499$ each I was mining for about a week with this rig with stock settings and got around 17 mh/s Today i just found a .rom file to flash the bios of these cards and now i got from 17 mh/s to 30.531 mh/s and power consumption to about 30% less. I look at the screen and at kill-a-watt and just look too good to be true. The rig look stable for about 3 hours. My question is: how long will the gpu last if i mine like that ? i'm afraid they will die in like 2-3 months. Any experienced miner can help with some advices ? Should i abuse them that much or maybe just a little bit less, like more power consumption maybe ? Also the fan speed at 70% the temp is 61, before bios flash i think it was more Thanks in advance! https://i.imgur.com/lhKtmEg.jpg https://i.imgur.com/okHhXdJ.jpg Title: Re: Will this bios flash shorten gpu life ?

People have old 7xxx series that are many years old and have been running fine in a 24/7 mining capacity. Just keep them cool and they will be happy Title: Re: Will this bios flash shorten gpu life ?
