1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / THEMPERATURE PROBLEMS AND HOW TO LOWER THEM - FIX FOR LOTS OF STUFF on: February 16, 2014, 09:45:33 AM
Hy from Croatia to everyone

I had a problem with low hash rate and i thought it was cgminer. For long time i have searched on all kind of forums and places for help. Yesterday i got to the solution by myself. Everybody told me is the driver is the catalyst is the SDK .. its this its that. You need to push your cards cooler toward the chip. So the thermal paste gets thinner. When i have done that i got my temps where they should be around 70 celsius (they were 102.. and more, that is when i got my cgminer working - low hash on 6970 around 246khs or even less) THAT IS A 30 celsius drop . Todays graphics are big and heavy so if you have them in horizontal or in vertical position it sometimes gets hot specially when mining because chip gets stressed right away thermal grease gets hot and cooler gets a litle fragmet of mm detached from chip and all hell breaks loos errors, pc crashes, cgminer crashes, low hashrate and so on...and so fort. Im considering to take apart every my new build and put my own, quality thermal paste on chips...tightening a screws a bit and all other stuff....

If I have helped you, please consider leaving a tip. I think this little discovery is wort it.
