I'm just wondering does who has tdp at 80 for 24/7? I been very careful not to damage the card for long term usage. I keep it at under 75% tdp and temperature under 58c by the time it's night all the cards avg 45c. So far I have 15 1080ti for more than 2 weeks and all of them work 24/7
this is like 2 days straight temperatures haven't reach 60c

i am 80 tdp usually same yupp, really the 1080ti is so powerful it still does fine and less on power limit = insta less heat!

great for these months, mine are running 60 degrees as i type, with the one on the end at 53 ;p lol
That's pretty good. Which model are they? Our cards should run at 80% TDP till they are obsolete. Even smart miners who undervolt their 7970s during the btc days have their cards running today. E that's 5 years.
So do you guys recomend us to use about 70% to 80% tdp!?
Im using 110% 24/7, 75C tops, do you know how this temp and usage can reduce lifespan of the cards!?
I prefer doing minimum RMA and fan swaps. Stability is also an important issue because my farm is in remote location, hence a preference for 80% TDP.
Sure you can run them 110%, the cards will be fine. It's probably 5-10% more hash rate than at 80% TDP, but 37.5% more power usage. Do the spreadsheets to see if the extra hash offsets the extra power usage.
It's not a huge deal if mean time before failure is 10 years or 5 years. Just that there's a higher chance of card failure, and more heat to deal with, unacceptable for large farm owners. Remember dead cards are out of action while RMA, and you may have to pay shipping, and it's a lot of unnecessary work.
