my video card after a while mining begins to make strange noises even being 59c with the cooler at 70%
I'm afraid they die fast.

I'm worried about that.
I'm using two zotac:

Zotac cards a sort of the bottom of the barrel from what I have heard. When you go with a lower-quality manufacturer you are bound to end up with a few issues. I would suggest grabbing yourself an EVGA the next time you plan on grabbing a card; or at least some other reputable and top-tier manufacturer.

Those temperatures are not bad at all. I'm almost positive most people would consider that light-usage when it comes to mining. Nothing to be worried about as far as I am concerned. Are you doing anything strange with the TDP, memory clock or anything like that?

without overclocking, only power at 70%
