I have a rig setup with two MSI AMD 7950s. I am running at the default clock speeds... not overclocking anything. The temerature of the GPUs are around 84C. I have the case open to let the heat escape. Is it safe to keep this setup running 24x7 ? What is a safe point and when do I need to worry?
What can I do to improve the temperatures? I am planning on putting a large fan that will blow air into the GPU cards.
If your mining bitcoins, Drop your memory clock alll the way down, You'll save about 3-6°C
I run my 7950 at 75-78°C 24/7 And even at that im not too happy (fan at 80%) So long as you keep the temps under 82°c Im sure mining 24/7 at that temperature will be fine
one of the more important things is to keep your fan AWAY from 90%+ speed, This will reduce your gpu life Extremely
24/7@85% is about the highest reccommended
