Chances are it is not the motherboard. It could be how hard you are pushing the cards. Also ambient condition. What is your weather like? Are you pushing the card's hard on OC? Are they using risers or do you have them all bunched up? Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: ayayay on October 24, 2014, 01:59:33 AM 80 degree days plus much warmer in garage-- however seemed like they could take these temps before --- good news its not motherboard perhaps I will wait a bit cool weather is around the corner

Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: ayayay on October 24, 2014, 02:20:11 AM seems to be something else-- the pc shut down at with the client/ card was a t 70 degrees
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: notlist3d on October 24, 2014, 02:29:48 AM seems to be something else-- the pc shut down at with the client/ card was a t 70 degrees 80 degrees outside and in a garage is kinda hot if you are pushing the cards depending on exhust. You will need to make sure you are not over heating them. If you have not already use risers to keep them away from each other. Use a fan to help direct hot air away. I might also suggest doing ROI math as GPU mining might not bring in enough to justify even risers. If not turn cards down don't OC high. Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: Snipe85 on October 24, 2014, 02:40:42 AM Wait, your GPU went over 102 F and that's a lot? They can take much more, believe me, unless you meant 102 C. My old radeons were reaching 100 C when gaming and nothing happened.
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: ayayay on October 24, 2014, 02:56:30 AM yes 102 F they usually average around 85 F and as I said the rig is stut down at 70F I am not overclocking.
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: Strannik-74 on October 24, 2014, 03:00:38 AM 102F = 39C, is the temperature of downtime Video
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: grouper fish on October 24, 2014, 03:18:29 AM yes 102 F they usually average around 85 F and as I said the rig is stut down at 70F I am not overclocking. that sounds crazy low. I have my cards mining XMR underclocked and by an open window, temps are around 60-70c. I´ve had my card shutdown when they reach 90-100c, do you have a temp shoutdown command set in your miner? Dont 7950 card undervolt quite nicely? Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: NeonTranceBadger on October 24, 2014, 03:19:31 AM When I mine with my 3x 660ti's and 1x 750ti they all sit at around 79C which is 174F while mining x11.
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: tom99 on October 24, 2014, 04:48:32 AM make sure your fan is working good or your gpu will overheat.
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: unsoindovo on October 24, 2014, 07:35:40 AM i think could be some dust on fan???
keep it clean and try again... if it not solve the problem try wi th undervolt... Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: LightningBlade on October 24, 2014, 12:45:59 PM Change your fan and you should solve your problem.
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: guitarplinker on October 24, 2014, 01:31:48 PM It could also be the thermal paste on the cards, but if all three of them are hitting high temperatures all at the same time chances are it wouldn't be the thermal paste of them.
Try dusting out the PC and see if that has any affect on temperatures. Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: ayayay on October 24, 2014, 01:36:17 PM could be the dust-- I have the rig in the garage with pc cover off about one year-- it could use a cleaning
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: popolite11 on October 24, 2014, 02:01:05 PM time to RMA the cards.
Title: Re: Video cards overheating Post by: EvilPanda on October 24, 2014, 02:06:49 PM Not really, I wouldn't worry about the temps they are completely safe. You should set the shutdown to 150F or more. The cards are made to run at that temps and won't be damaged even if they go to 180F or more.
To burn the card you'd have to either reach something like >250F in spikes, or constantly run at above 200. 102 isn't overheating http://img.hexus.net/v2/graphics_cards/nvidia/Reference/GTX760/Temp.png |
