Re: [ANN][DOGE] Dogecoin - very currency many coin

So Im mining on slow speed 100-200 khs with my nivida gtx 560 ti, should i use cudaminer or that dogecoinminer?

And one more thing, if my GPU is running on ~88 c will that destroy my card?

Fermi does like to run hot, but that is too hot in my opinion for mining:gaming for 6 hours is quite a bit different than 24/7 mining, I wouldn't let mine go above 80C or so especially since you probably have no warranty left.

Bs, my old gtx 570 hit 100c all the time when mining. There's always some guys who claim that over 70c is too much. Just like there are guys who claim you need to have 800W power to run decent graphics card. It's all bs.

The fact that it has been mining doesn't mean it wasn't getting destroyed slowly. How long did you mine with the card for? It isn't even the chip that is in danger but it is mostly vrm's. If the chip is at 100C the vrm's could be at around the same temp and most of them are only rated at 90-105C so the voltage regulators might start to malfunction over time especially if there is no extra cooling provided like with most non-reference coolers

Imho your opinion is too conservative. Fermi was designed to take the heat 24/7. Just don't overclock it too much.

I might be but to be honest with a 290(x) or any new card for that matter, and its heat even if it was not able to keep up with the heat there is 2/3 years of warranty and according to the manufacturer 95C is fine so they will have to exchange it, with Fermi cards I wouldn't risk it because there is no warranty, so unless that card is totally just useless to you and is just lying around doing nothing I wouldn't mine with it and even then you are better off just selling it because the hashrate is low but electricity consumption and noise are high
