Hello CryptoWorld ! I'm willing to start a mining rig with 3x 1070 Ti's and I'm wondering about the lifespan of the cards even though I think this shouldn't be a problem if proper cooling exists.
I currently have 1x 1070 Ti and this card is mining via NiceHash at 5$/day, running pretty cool @59C with 75% fan speed - OC applied +200/+450.

From your experience, will the cards last for 2 yrs without dying ? Should I worry about this ?

Thanks and Happy Holidays !

Why Nicehash? Make more elsewhere.

Which i would call borderline insane. You lose ALOT of money this way. But i guess thats ur choice. My advice would be cut out the middle man. And if anything, wait for them to pay back the lost money they lost in the hack.

At 59C, card lifetime should exceed the warrentee and be measured in years.

 75% fan, if you have cards with good BALL BEARING fans, should also have a lifetime measured in years - but might want to turn them down some, 50-60% should keep the cards under 65C which is a better "balance" on card vs fan lifespan.

 If they are NOT ball bearing fan cards, expect to replace the fans WELL before warrentee period runs out - even if you turn them down, which WILL help some.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
