What tempature do you run your GPU's

[vonross2012]

I was wondering at what tepature and for how long have you been running your cards?

Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5850
Core clock: 950Mhz
Mem clock: 350Mhz
Avg. temp: 55°C
Avg. fan speed: 78-80% (Custom curve, 30% at 30°C and 100% at 80°C
Hashrate: 364 MH/s

Mining Btc

I think a lot of people shoot for temps ~70C.

[cdog]

Pfff, I only mine LTC and Im happy if my cards are under 100c. But they are kind of cramped up and OC'd to bejeezus.

My understanding of GPU tech is that the chips can run MUCH hotter than a CPU for long periods.

For a CPU, 90c would be too hot but for a GPU 90c is totally fine, but I have to set fans to 85%+ to get this, so fan life is reduced.

[vonross2012]

Good to know.  I have just started and my temp runs about 91c.  I saw in another thread that it's still ok even to run at 110c.
I don't see how someone can run at 70c and get any kind of hashrate.

I'm running 2 7970 at 1200kh for scriptmining.  I haven't tweeked any settings yet.
Just set it at max 20 in Guiminer-script.

LTC mining at now.
3x7970 ref. 915/1600 49C, 53C, 52C. Hard watercooled

I wonder if I can do something like this:

...with a lot of cooking oil and my bathtub...   

[BBQKorv]

I'm aiming < 85C.

How much time and money is spent doing that?
Isn't it hard to justify the exra cost when the margins are so low?

BTC mining with (5) 7970's and they range from 65C - 70C all day/night.

No special cooling equip.. Just the stock fans on the cards?

[eroxors]

In one location I run them at ~82C because I don't like all the fan noise. In the basement, they run at 75C or less.

[juggalodarkclow]

7 5830's in my basement all run between 55c-65c, 1 5830 and 1 5750 upstairs run 62c-70c respectively. Auto fan for the 5830's and the 5750 is set to 85%.

Running gpus at and over 90C will kill them quickly, at least in my experience.  I was running them at ~85C and they were ok until I pushed them over 90C.

Now, I'd recommend staying under the low 80s.

[Professor James Moriarty]

 I have 56C , I have a laptop with a huge fan underneath.

[no name]

I try to hold my setup under 80 and VRMs under 90. When I start two years ago, I hold under 90 and in few cases and reached 93-94 during few hours and nothing bad was happen.

I recommended for GPU under 75-80 and lowest rpm fan.   

[mufa23]

My stuff usually runs between 60-70'C. I don't like it getting hotter than 75'C

[Bitsaurus]

In some places 60-70c is not doable.  In Southern CA it gets pretty hot and my cards get to 60C in just 5 seconds of mining.  Ambient 75F.

If VRMs stay under 90C and card is under 85C it should last 2 years plus.

[bitpop]

I ran 6990s at 96°

[sagiko]

My 7970s are at 80 to 89C with two big fan blowing at them ... I guess that's the best I can do considering I am in a all year summer (> 30C) tropical country
