BTC qty is still the same as last week just less $$ obviously.

My card is at 44c while mining, down to $7.25 a day, just broke $200 total mined since I started about 4 weeks ago.

**SirBaron** · Jan 14, 2021, 01:02 AM

Yeah my card was at 54'c but backplate was fairly hot, plus the cards use vram more than anything on the card, and it's not like you can see the temps on those with software.

Since then it's been at 42'c, and backplate is pretty cool.

KAC · Jan 14, 2021, 01:30 AM

Yes, my TUF was also ramping up fan speed to 80% even when card was running at 52-54 C. My assumption is that it is really testing out the GDDR6X longevity with so much load. I personally think many 3080/3090 cards will have failed memory modules soon enough. I already noticed that I can no longer clock my card to +1350 MHz in Timespy as it starts artifacting.

Also for 5 bucks a day mining can eat my dick.

**SirBaron** · Jan 14, 2021, 01:51 AM

Anything above +700 will crash my pc, my sisters card can't even do +600

Leprechaun · Jan 14, 2021, 12:12 PM

Ya too many people telling stories of crazy memory overclocks while putting 50-60% power limit and putting core clock down. I can't overclock or underclock that much without hash rate tanking. I do worry about the VRAM temps

**SirBaron** · Jan 14, 2021, 01:22 PM

I have -200 + 600 70% power rating

92MH/s 237 watts

I cant wait for March to come around and then when it starts getting sunnier and longer days, cost free mining here I come.

Bitcoin is back to 40K, lol. Up to $220 from yesterday. Card is up to $8.50 a day now

So this 2.0 to 0.9 hashrate reduction hasn't happened? Still seems the same

Dave · Jan 14, 2021, 10:49 PM

Checked my memory temps in GPU-z (ICX card)

This is at +1000 on the mem

KAC · Jan 14, 2021, 10:55 PM

People on EVGA forums are having their FTW3 cards make a final hurrah before dying. Just FYI. Mostly 3090s.

I think only demo has a FTW3 3090 afaik.

Thanks, I checked mine, 58-76C for the memory. How are you keeping your card to cool?

@KAC. I have two 3090 that are the evga ftw3 ultra gaming, and 1 of the same 3080.
They dying cuz of mining? link?

edit: found link. People playing Halo and card dies.
If I put fan speed up I get 46-65C for memory. DDR6x is rated for up to 100C because apparently at 110C if fries

KAC · Jan 15, 2021, 12:13 AM

Not sure if they are dying because of mining. You can check EVGA forums.
I think the cause is unknown at this point.

I have the EVGA hybrid kit on my card. I'm guessing with the gpu being so cool that its heat isnt transferring over to the memory modules.

Leprechaun · Jan 15, 2021, 11:27 AM

I keep having 1 rig that mines zero BTC randomly most of the time. What's the reason?

Probably card is going to get killed soon.

But it might be a login issue. Nicehash was having some connectivity issues in some countries.

Leprechaun · Jan 16, 2021, 12:14 AM

"Note that unstable DAG generation causes permanently rejected shares until miner restart."

I found my answer by accident. Run stock clocks, mine for a minute. After, you can overclock. Rejects are very very low now.

**SirBaron** · Jan 16, 2021, 02:46 AM

Gunna leave mining until I get a 4080/5080 and can do dual minining, as with one GPU just really aint worth it, especially if my fans get worn out early.

Leprechaun · Jan 16, 2021, 09:20 AM

I always assumed bearings&motor would survive longer than the card would remain relevant.

KAC · Jan 16, 2021, 10:51 AM

I am more concerned about memory giving up.
I also stopped mining completely.

That's a highly likely plausible concern

I put fan to zero to test and the miner basically gives you a message.
GPU #0 getting too hot, performance is degraded. It mines at less power and less MH/s to keep temps in control. Checking in Gpu-z the mem modules never go past 76c. Anyways lower than that with fans on.
Either way, see you when I'm crying in a few months

KAC · Jan 16, 2021, 01:11 PM

I don’t think it is about temps of memory chips but the components that control the memory. If I remember correctly GN was disappointed in quality of components used in FTW3 cards. Asus TUF already has OK components for daily use. Pushing them this hard 24/7 is going to be a bad time.

Nunz · Jan 16, 2021, 01:43 PM

The quality of the components on the FTW3 weren't low quality; Buildzoid would have liked to see more expensive VRM controllers that allow a higher switching rate, which helps for extreme OC/LN2. The FTW3 does not have any "low quality" components, and the video didn't say that.

No one knows how GDDR6X handles high temperatures for long periods of time yet. GDDR6 holds up pretty well, but as we've seen with the 3080/3090 under LN2, the memory chips really hate heat and are much more sensitive to it.

Riptide · Jan 16, 2021, 04:19 PM

Paranoia.

Keep it clean, keep it cooled, and it'll be fine.

Leprechaun · Jan 16, 2021, 07:54 PM

Won't know how the cards hold up for another few years until enough time has passed with enough of a sample size.

Has anyone every mined in a pool?
PPS vs pplns
What is your opinion?

KAC · Jan 17, 2021, 08:01 AM

I tried pools once. The delta on an 8 1080 Ti rig was 1 dollar per day. Plus the pools had a habit of turning off or not allowing connection whenever they felt like. So I stopped using them. Nicehash is all I ever used.

For now given I am on an imported card I am not feeling like burning it to the ground especially since Asus will surely not honor warranty here in my country and finding a replacement will be a bitch.

That's perfectly valid. I'd be scared too if I couldn't find a replacement. I have zero idea on how to set a pool up with nicehash. The guides are all over my head.

KAC · Jan 17, 2021, 01:06 PM

I was using some other software for pool mining. It was totally worthless.

8 Days later, bitcoin at 33K, up to $250, card at about $8~ a day, 0.00743068 BTC mined total. If bitcoin was at $40K still I would be at $297.
