Overclocking is perfectly safe and it will not effect the life of your gpus (maybe your fans). Just keep your gpu cool and under 70C would be ideal.
thank you, riskyfire, Would you tell me how much value should I raise?? memory clock and GPU clock
Hello Miners!
I have a zotac 1080 and a zotac 1080TI
I'm currently running without overclocking, but I'm afraid to overclock and slow down the board's life.
Zcash
1080 - 70% / 58c / Fan 70% = 560Sol / s
1080Ti - 70% / 53c / Fan 70% = 750Sol / s
Is the temperature good? will VGA run for at least 2 years?
What overclock do you guys recommend I do? I'm not very experienced with mining.
with overclock will the board last for less than 2 years?
I researched in some forums, they say the board, keeping it below 70c it will last for more than 3 years even with overclocking
I am running 4x Zotac 1080 Mini @ 65% power, auto Fan (usually ~45-55%), rig temps 45-55C (depending on outside weather), indoor temps 18-25C (open window no additional fans to cool so far), overclocked to 175/550. Getting ~515sol/s with ~4.2sols/w
Using Awesome miner with Bminer/DSTM software for Equihash mining on MPH, currently averaging ~0.00055/6 BTC daily.
Tried increasing/decreasing overclock but found that only power limit is effective in giving more sols, however, sols/w does not change.
I'll try this setup and see if it improves my hashrate
I'm using ewbf miner (they say one of the best) and mining on nanopool
Temp: GPU0: 59C
GPU0: 551 Sol/s
Total speed: 551 Sol/s
+-----+-------------+--------------+
| GPU | Power usage | Efficiency |

| 0 | 179W ~ 190w | 3.08 ~ 2.88Sol/W |

Exactly. The only real issues that you can run into is the fans dying (usually a bearing) or the thermal paste/pad drying up and no longer being thermally conductive. If you notice a randomly large increase in temps with no change in your mining chances are it is the latter. A simple removal of the heatsink and replacement of the thermal paste/pad will resolve this issue for another few years. The board and chips themselves are essentially impervious to heat under ~90c
Thanks for the tip, I had not thought about thermal paste
