Hey guys, I’m aware of cold-hot expansion-contraction, but also think that GPUs also get stressed by constant submission to hot temperatures.
My 5700XT gets up to 90ºC on the Memory Junction (everywhere else pretty cool, around 45-50). I usually mine while I’m awake, so its 16 hours a day. Also to increase energy efficiency.
This, however, brings to the table worries about making the GPU go through 16 hot hours and 8 cold ones, which, in theory involves physical expansion and contraction of parts.
Should I just let it run 24/7?
Am I more likely to encounter problems by leaving it 24/7 with Memory Junction temperature around 84-90ºC, or by letting it rest 8 hours a day?
Thanks!
