    [SOLVED] Gaming's thermal cycling vs Mining's components degradation? Which is worse to GPU's lifespan?

    I agree. But you just generalized that a lot of gamers tend to overlook gpu temp while there are a lot of gamers who actually worry about gpu temp going up high, myself included. And then, now you're stating it depends on each individual when it comes to applying your logic to average miners...

    [SOLVED] Gaming's thermal cycling vs Mining's components degradation? Which is worse to GPU's lifespan?

    Thanks for the input. So basically dust buildup is the most harmful to the cards because it raises both core and memory temperature as fans get old and dusty, thus degrading components much quicker... I see your point but can't it be still applied to all miners as well? I know a lot of miners...

    [SOLVED] Gaming's thermal cycling vs Mining's components degradation? Which is worse to GPU's lifespan?

    What title says. I see a lot of miners saying thermal cycling is worse than mining's components degradation. However mining gpus overclock memory forcing it to run at about 90c 24/7 no pause for months or even years. That can't be good for components lifespan, such as capacitor and memory...
