Energy optimized, Good! You are saving some electricity.ħ0☌ – 75☌: Better hashrate! This is the optimal temperature that is acceptable for newer generation graphic cards. Are you sure it is not under clocked?Ħ0☌ – 69☌: This is where you can see your GPU producing acceptable hashrate. Are you sure your GPU is mining?ĥ0☌ – 59☌: Your GPU can do better. Here we’d like to share the same with you in our own words to avoid copy infringement.Ġ☌ – 29☌: Looks like you need to turn on your computer first!ģ0☌ – 49☌: No major tasks can be performed at this temp except playing Mine Craft. We found a interesting discussion at Ethereum Forum stating general estimates to understand what different GPU temperatures mean. We have a GTX 970 which is mining at 75☌, 6 x GTX 1070s mining at 65☌ to 72☌ and a GTX 1080 TI rig maintaining all less than 75☌. If you are still worried then we suggest you to maintain less than 69☌. However we’d like to say that for modern GPUs anything less than or equal to 75☌ is totally fine. Also different cards will mine different algorithms at different temperatures so we will not be able to conclude an exact number that is safer. Third each and every graphic cards will have different TDP level set by the manufacturer. Mining 24 x 7 will not damage your GPUs but mining at high temperatures will do so because heat is the main source of hardware damage. Second graphic cards are consumer products which are meant to play video games and not mine crypto currencies. They can sustain high temperatures but not for so long. But what exactly is the safest temperature and how much is too high? Safe GPU temperatureįirst of all we must understand that Graphic cards these days are not so fragile to break quickly. Some claim anything under 90☌ is safer, some say to keep it below 80☌, 75☌ and some advice to maintain at 70☌ and 65☌.

We planned to post the same for GPU as we found so many discussions going on in Reddit, bitcointalk, Ethereum and Zcash forums about safe GPU temps.

Recently we posted about monitoring CPU temperatures while mining. Here we’ll see what are safe GPU temperatures and some tips to keep your graphic cards safer. How will you ensure that? By checking if all your GPUs are mining at safe temperatures. If you are looking to make profits in the long run then you must first ensure that all your precious GPUs are safe and will survive longer. Are you the person who is just looking to take the return on investment or you are looking to make profits mining crypto in long term? If you are looking to just reach the ROI then it’s just 6 to 9 months with or without over clocking your card.
