Just a random post about fan quality on gpus. I have a bunch of 5700xt. Here are failure rates (bad fans/total) after 18 months give or take. Area had quite a bit of dust i'm afraid to say due to people heating mainly with wood in my area, which on a sidenote, is retarded for many reasons. PM2.5 is frequently elevated depending on weather conditions. Normal dust filters do not capture micro particles.
Sapphire dual : 0 %
Asus dual : 25%
Asrock dual: 10 %
XFX triple : 15%
The Sapphire Pulse dual fans are top notch, I would sell all the others and just keep those.
Yeah we have some dust issues.
My msi amd tend to fail the most often
So far of 200 cards all makes and models
4 evga 1080ti one is over heating a bit I have it very down clocked and it runs okay
all the rest are amd 5000 and amd 6000 series. 1 failed power color 5700 1 failed ASRock 5500 mobo short. 2 failed msi 5600 fans I have about 80 of these mixed
along with nvidia 3000 series = perfect about 80 for 800
not sure how to list the card below all are Nov 2021 or newer
pny a2000 4 for 4 good
Lenovo a4000 = 4 for 4 good
pny a4000 = 40 for 40 good
pny a4500 = 2 for 2 good
pny a5000 = 7 for 7 good.
when I mine
I aways shoot for fans at 75% or lower
I also try low power say 55 to 70% of tdp
so I tend to always be lower than max mh/s but cards work and work and work.
I am just about 9gh eth hash
