Rule of thumb, I have been mining for almost 4 years with 120 plus cards. Lot`s of expensive lessons learnt!

1. Power supply, never push your power supply to it`s limit. Sweet spot is around 60% utilization.
2. Dust is a card killer, make sure you maintain dust as well as you can
3. Temperatures, place your rigs in a well ventilated room. Try remove the heat generated by the cards (Extractor fan).
4. Don`t be an IDIOT and OC your cards to the max. Loads of people are chasing hashrate instead of finding a sweet spot.. pushing a card to just under the point where it crashes is really idiotic. Your card might cope for a couple of months but it will die on you after a while.

Cheers




yup all high grade equipment's and stuff, got rm 1000x not gonna run more than 3 cards on that (if i manage to get 3 that is lol) leaves me tons of headroom

yup planning to do dusting every 1 month or so

its in my bedroom thats the problem and its under my desk so maybe heat will gather. I need to find a extractor fan but very silent ones

nah I aint gonna risk my card like that not im running it at 50 degree locked at fan around 50 both stays the same fan goes down to 35-40 so yeah I'd rather get 3-5 less hashrate than just ruin my card
