R.I.P old friend

[GriffinHeart]

GeForce GTX 750 Ti.
A beautiful creature, a graphics card with more sentimental value than any other to me.
Many of you will remember this guy from january 2014 as an amazing miner.
I remember the old days.
So I can't use it anymore, so I decided to give it a good burial. One like no other.
I downloaded afterburner, replaced my new AMD R9 FuryX with her and core clocked it to maximum and memory clocked it to minimum.
Off it mined, for eight whole seconds my friends did she mine.
4Mh/s were her peak. Then the monitor blinked and died. I smelt fire, she had breathed her last and with the fan stopping spinning in the smoke.
Shit.

these 750 TI seem to die a lot more than other cards..

I am a bit surprised you can kill the card by OCing it, usually if it goes beyond its ability it will just crashed into safe mode...

don't think so... I have only one since a year and still working fine...

Guess you shouldn't push it to max mining settings and OC it with afterburner at the max possible settings.

What OC settings did you set in Afterburner? What was the exact model and manufacturer of this card?

okay, well reason i was skeptical is that when browsing through bitcointalk I have frequently ran across more 750ti failures than others, but lots of people switched to 750ti and ran without powered risers because of the promised low power draw. That could be one reason of the issues reported when they got available. but less failures are reported now so what do i know, you got more experience with nvidia than me, I am just a keyboard warrior I mine with three r9 rigs, I just got a bad impression from start about these babies. First models available usually had no power plug so that made me wonder about power draw from motherboard and made me suspect bad reliability.

A while ago I was thinking of ordering 18x single slot ones and put them in three normal cases using a gaming motherboard, fitting 6 750ti's in each. all cases with custom made side with 6x 120mm fans blowing in from side, then I can stack them on top of each other. That would be awesome cause I could perhaps get free electricity if I can cramp them in so tighlty lol
