Searching through this thread, I saw some fairly alarming posts from folks who said mining vertcoin may have caused some damage to their cards. Has anyone else experienced this?
Got that two days ago during trying to tune my 2x R9 290x with vertminer 0.5.3 linux 32-bit. One fan went mad and the card got
really hot. Even cold reboot didn't fix it.
I finally switched off the whole thing for about 2 minutes and started with safe settings for normal scrypt on my cgminer-kalroth installation. That did the trick, everything back to normal. And vertminer works normal again after that, too. Problem didn't come back so far
