which gtx 1070? is evga FTW better?

[QuintLeo]

On the subject of Gigabyte - at this point I am specifically recommending to AVOID them (except perhaps the Aorus line) due to their move to crappy junk DIE TOO YOUNG sleeve bearing fan designs sometime in the last generation or two.

 EVGA is all ball bearing and generally VERY good built quality, MSI appears to be all ball bearing.

 Zotrac it's impossible to tell for sure without taking one apart but appears to NOT use ball bearing fans on any card, Palit/Galax/KFA I can't speak to as they're not available in the USA.
 PNY, XFX, PowerColor - just generally crap build quality even *IF* a specific card uses ball bearing fans.
 HIS - used to have SOME models with ball bearing fans, but apparently have dropped the concept in recent models.

 On the AMD side, Sapphire is ALL ball bearing and very good designs in general.


 At this point, the only stuff I'm buying is EVGA, Sapphire, and will consider MSI if they're competative on cost.

In my experience msi oc really well but runs hot, evga oc well and zotac tops the list of best watt, temp and oc. Im currently running only evga and zotac, Still have to find out which brand's fans go bye bye first

hello there are so many gtx 1070 do they all provide same hashrate?


This is $70 cheaper than the FTW version

$509 -  EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 SC GAMING ACX 3.0 Black Edition, 08G-P4-5173-KR, 8GB GDDR5, LED, DX12 OSD Support (PXOC)


$579 - EVGA GeForce GTX 1070 FTW GAMING ACX 3.0, 08G-P4-6276-KR, 8GB GDDR5, RGB LED, 10CM FAN,


Thank you

I use FTWs but be careful not let them overheat. If you can, align them vertically or in parallel, but be careful with vertical stacking as the heat from the lower card(s) will rise and overheat the upper card(s). I had one go up in flames after two months or so of mining. Also be sure to give them time to rest and cool down from time to time. Learnt my lesson the hard way.

Do you mean like shut them down once a month? week maby?

I would shut them down for at least 30 mins a day. But agin, a lot depends on your configuration and how cool the environment is. I had them running at 65c, but stacked vertically. As long as you can keep the temperature under control you should be ok, you just have to be very careful that the capacitors don't burn out.

That often, maybe I put some sort of minestop and minestart command into a daily batch file or something like that
