Overclocking GPU Memory clock for Mining

[Ghost]

Does it harm for it? Does it reduce its lifespan significantly? Card is Aorus Master RTX 3070 currently set to following

Power limit : 55%
Core clock : -150
Memory clock : +1300
Fan speed : 85%

You should also check if the cost of the extra electricity you consume is not more than the value of the currency you generate

Not really a problem when you use renewable energy sources.

I use 11 kW off grid solar system to power up my entire house hold including to recharge my electric car ;)

I wish I could post images here and so I could reply to miner hatepostering with soyjaks

Hope you like driving around in a bomb on wheels, and a product designed to degrade significantly it also doesn't tolerate A. heat or B Cold very well either. Someone drove a Tesla model 3 to Death Valley and the battery and car went into cooling overdrive mode, just so the vehicle wouldn't explode into a ball of flames.

So "owning" an electric car isn't all that impressive.

Yes, HIS car is a bomb because A car suffered issues in the hottest environment on the planet.
Not that it did explode or catch fire it seems...

I mean, seriously, what is with the hate bone you have for everyone else?

It just seems that if someone else has something nice or cool you have to go out of your way to put them down, oh no he's mining on renewable energy off grid so you can't condemn him for that, better hate on his car!

[Monk]

Also to counter the edit, I don't think he was bragging about owning an electric car, just pointing out that his power solution can charge his car, it'll have zero issue with the trickle of power used to run his gpu mining.

There have been god only knows how many examples of cars just straight-up combusting over the years, from cheap runarounds to brand-new Ferraris. All that one example shows is that the Tesla overheated and prevented disaster by utilising it's safety feature. That's a bad thing now?

I have 0 proof but I suspect this is viral marketing started by Nvidia

No, it isn't. A LOT of mining GPUs end up dead sooner than cards that weren't mined on.

That's obvious to be fair, using one variant of a product 24/7, and the other sporadically, will result in drastically different lifespans. The issue is whether or not mining actually (significantly or not) decreases the actual running-lifetime of the card, and I don't think there's been any evidence as to that here?

[Monk]

There's none that it shortens the lifespan really at all, that it's only a relitively low number that do die when ran properly suggests the cards would if died under normal use through some fault in the card itself, else you'd have the majority fail at the same time, which, isn't happening.

It's sort of like how data centre hdd failure rates are an indication of how a hdd will stand up, as they are using it 24/7 so any failures will show up far earlier than normal use of 3-8 hours a day perhaps.

In a heating up world, think about that for a while. Better yet, go look at the numerous attempts at electric vehicles, 1 big problem they all have they don't cope with any number of factors, including water, sure if a gasoline car gets water in it's engine it won't start but drown a massive battery pack and watch it catch fire. Once started lithium fires are almost impossible to put I am not saying it's a bad thing, but using it as a "flex" shows how little they actually know about the underlying technology.

Once a lithium fire is started good luck trying to knock it out. For all it's bads "gasoline" is probably safer, because once you take out oxygen from gasoline also "triad of fire" if you ever learned that you need Ignition, Fuel, Oxygen remove one you can put out a fire, but once a lithium pack self-destructs you've got a thermal run away that starts other batteries on thermal runaway and so on, till all the cells get so hot they just start exploding. Latent energy in a lithium pack if it's caught fire can just keep re-igniting itself again and again. Emergency services have significant dangers when dealing with these types of fires.

Electric, Hydrogen, etc the technologies have many problems. I am an engineer / scientist so one thing is not the be all and end all. All developments have their problems but, there is quite a lot of "negatives" when it comes to electric vehicles, even though yes they do put out less emissions IF the energy is derived from clean power.

Oh yeah Lithium mines (rare earth type mineral) ARE NASTY to get. Combination of sulphuric acid, among other chemicals are used to strip the rock. Leading to left over "slurry"

Hey dude? Can you sumarize this? I got no time for that

Learn to read faster. If you buy something I'd expect you to at least know something about it, or are you that much uninformed and following the crowd with regards to what you purchase?

Can you learn to get some critical thinking skills please? It will do you many favours.

[Monk]

Whoosh.

I've spoken with miners before, and ones that used Polaris GPUs (i.e. RX 570, 580) had to replace a lot of them because the hardware fails easily on cheaper cards. It's easy to tell that it can stress some cards to failure and shorten their lifespan, especially in larger farms because they're basically cooking in a room together for an extended period of time.

yea

Ok sir. Noted sir. You know everything sir! I sell my GPUs sir. I will sell my car sir. I will get rid of off grid solar system sir. Now all sorted right sir?
