I use FTWs but be careful not let them overheat. If you can, align them vertically or in parallel, but be careful with vertical stacking as the heat from the lower card(s) will rise and overheat the upper card(s). I had one go up in flames after two months or so of mining. Also be sure to give them time to rest and cool down from time to time. Learnt my lesson the hard way.

Do you mean like shut them down once a month? week maby?

I would shut them down for at least 30 mins a day. But agin, a lot depends on your configuration and how cool the environment is. I had them running at 65c, but stacked vertically. As long as you can keep the temperature under control you should be ok, you just have to be very careful that the capacitors don't burn out.

That often, maybe I put some sort of minestop and minestart command into a daily batch file or something like that
