... Let's just say I have a bunch of other equipment (About half a dozen servers and GPU setups) that have had a 0% failure rate in the same room on the same power.

Different equipment same conditions, one with an obviously higher failure rate...

And all of those are running at 100% load 100% of the time? Huh

Yes everything is full load, like I said the only difference is build quality.

And yes you can still make money on them, there is still profit to be had, but the ROI isn't as rosy as the stats would have you believe. Reduce your hash rate calculation by 25% over the long term and calculate using that number instead, you'll be much more accurate.

The main reason I ask all of this is, on the business end, we have less that 4% failure rate and on my hobby miners (all overclocked and in a cross-ventilated building that fluctuates between 70-85F) I have 1 bad board in 15 (and that 1 was a 600 that ran @ 700 for 6 months). Conversely I've never purchased more than 3 sticks of RAMM at a time without at least one needing a replacement. I guess we each get the lemons of a given industry? Undecided
