Re: Overclocking is worth?

Ive been running my GTX 1080 for over a year with +20% power/+100/+1000 mining equihash. It mines a good 20 hours out of the day, I only shut it of in the evenings if I am on the computer. So far I have seen no issues whatsoever with running it this hard. I also have 1070s running like this for over a year as well so I wouldnt think you would cause any damage as long as you keep temperatures in check.

I know when you set at +20% the card becomes hot and you'll smell something like melting plastic or rubber, especially if you're mining Ethereum. So, if I overclock all my graphics cards will they not be damaged? Well, you know graphics cards nowadays are too expensive and hard to find.

Also, may I know the required or safe temperature (°C) for the CPU and graphics card?

I have a maximum of 75°C, more than a year in this mode

Wow! What about the CPU, is it also 75°C? I'm using Intel Core i7 and once it reaches over 60°C I immediately set the CPU core to 3. So, running all my cards over 60°C would be safe enough. Thank you.

My cpu have 60-65°C i5-7700, on here mining yescrypt on 3 cores
