Hello Miners!
I have a zotac 1080 and a zotac 1080TI
I'm currently running without overclocking, but I'm afraid to overclock and slow down the board's life.

Zcash
1080 - 70% / 58c / Fan 70% = 560Sol / s
1080Ti - 70% / 53c / Fan 70% = 750Sol / s
Is the temperature good? will VGA run for at least 2 years?

What overclock do you guys recommend I do? I'm not very experienced with mining.

with overclock will the board last for less than 2 years?

I researched in some forums, they say the board, keeping it below 70c it will last for more than 3 years even with overclocking

I am running 4x Zotac 1080 Mini @ 65% power, auto Fan (usually ~45-55%), rig temps 45-55C (depending on outside weather), indoor temps 18-25C (open window no additional fans to cool so far), overclocked to 175/550. Getting ~515sol/s with ~4.2sols/w

Using Awesome miner with Bminer/DSTM software for Equihash mining on MPH, currently averaging ~0.00055/6 BTC daily.

Tried increasing/decreasing overclock but found that only power limit is effective in giving more sols, however, sols/w does not change.
