94 is too much it wont last for long set the cooler to max 100% arround 70-75 max 80 would be normal!

And that's the only reason why I would never buy a card from a miner generally because of miners like you, who treat their cards like a piece of crap,
100% fans with way hotter temps than ok for 24/7 workload.

Basically, when I see listed 2nd hand cards I wanna buy that have been used for mining (in description) I assume the worst, shit treatments from guys like you.

Who knows how much did you shorter card's/fan's lifespan with these settings.

I make sure my cards never go above 63-64°C core and VRM always below 80°C(at least for hawaii/fiji chips, older cards like 5970 were much more resilient because of bigger fabrication process -therefore VRM could go as far as 105°C for VRM, ~70°C core)
and my fans are always below 70%

And when I sell I don't even want to list them as cards used for mining because I really do take care of them, but still, it drives my price down no matter what because of guys like you!

Don't take this personally totko, this is not aimed at you but everyone who mines like this.

I randomly took your comment as a raged upon victim.

Keep your cards safe and healthy, take care of them, and they will take care of your earnings for a long time.

Cheers!
