Heat dissipation of miner's graphics card

1. mining machine shell hot is abnormal, indicating that the environment is not good heat dissipation. Long time will shorten the life of the graphics card, after all, electronic components are required to work at ambient temperature. But it won't cause a fire. At most, it will burn the video card. If the miner takes the video card for temperature monitoring, if the temperature exceeds, it will alarm and shut down according to the setting for self-protection.

2. ASUS Rog strix-rx580 game graphics card, with 8GB gddr5 mass memory, memory frequency of 8000 MHz, memory bit width of 256 bit!; 7 + 1 phase SAP II super alloy power supply design, no matter the general daily use or the execution of the ashes game or overclocking, can enjoy a reliable experience! With its own metal backplane and aura RGB God synchronous light, players can freely set their favorite light colors and effects according to their own preferences. In addition, an additional RGB interface is provided at the end of the graphics card, so that players can synchronize the RGB light bar or other devices with the graphics card. With three super large ip5x certified cooling fans, combined with the patented wing blade design, it can provide the radiator with great airflow and quieter environment, and achieve more efficient heat dissipation.

Why use graphics card to mine

compared with CPU, GPU is used for general purpose calculation. So it can stack hundreds of stream processors awesome. Each stream processor is like a small CPU. Although its ability to run complex programs is far from the power of CPU, it can not support many processors, so the actual performance, especially the single precision floating point performance is much stronger than that of CPU. p> However, as we have mentioned before, a card is very suitable for general computing such as virtual currency because it has many stream processors, and the speed of obtaining specific solutions is much higher than that of N card. Therefore, many miners rush to buy a card to calculate virtual currency for profit

of course, with NVIDIA's Pascal graphics card, n card's ability in mining virtual currency is not as different as a card before. So in the current situation that a card is generally out of stock, those mid-range N cards have become the second choice for miners

What are the disadvantages of mine card

finally, I want to talk about why we can't choose mine card when we are shopping for second-hand cards. Because the miners are mining bitcoin, the most important thing is to seek profits. Therefore, the graphics card they use is running and calculating all the time, and its strength is far greater than that of daily game applications. In other words, running such a calculation for one day is equivalent to running a graphics card for one month

in addition, the places where virtual currency is mined are mostly the places where multiple graphics cards gather. Thousands of graphics cards are constantly calculating in a room, and their heat is also quite huge. Miners can not choose the chassis with good heat dissipation conditions like ordinary consumers, so that the heat can be released smoothly. In this way, the graphics cards can still operate for 7 * 24 hours under high temperature conditions, It also deepens its aging degree

the result of doing so is that the graphics cards used for mining are lost prematurely. If you buy these graphics cards, the result will be unstable operation, restart and other things will continue to happen

moreover, at present, manufacturers also have strict requirements on mine cards, such as banning second-hand sales and shortening the shelf life. If users buy these mine card graphics cards, future maintenance will also be a big challenge

4. The main reason is that the quality of the graphics card can not be guaranteed
for mining, all mining machines do not shut down for several months. And the graphics card is always full of work, there is no time to rest
some of them are still used in overclocking mode, which is much more intensive than the personal home graphics card used for several years.

5. In the coin circle, all those who do promotion are MLM money, junk money, and the real good projects can't reach you retail investors who don't know anything.

6. Water cooled or forced fan

7. It's not too high for a graphics card to be fully loaded with more than 70 degrees. Judging from the maximum temperature, whether it's a card or n card,
it's safe that the maximum temperature does not exceed 85 degrees

9. Since it's not hot, there's no need to worry about it. If it's too hot, you can consider taking it out to repair the fan and clean it

10. Factors to pay attention to:

1. Price

you may know that intensive mining is quite expensive because it requires a lot of resources. The power consumption is huge, and with everyone's participation, the difficulty of mining will increase, which means that a lot of computing power is needed

as the cost increases, you should remember that the price of GPU for mining should be one of your top considerations

nowadays, most mining equipment is created with several GPUs, so that they can make more (Network) contributions and make more money (tokens). The cost of each GPU may vary, depending on how much you are willing and able to spend, but you can expect the price of each GPU to range from $150 to $1300

your best choice is to buy those graphics cards with moderate price. In this way, you won't pay too much, but you can still get a decent proct, and it's worth your time to mine

2. Power consumption

as mentioned above, power consumption is a big problem. The greater the power consumption, the greater the heat generated in the mining process. But these two problems can be controlled as long as high wattage GPU is not used

if you don't want to deal with these problems, choose a low or medium wattage GPU, or pay extra for advanced cooling technology. However, you should remember that this will mean that your hash rate will be reced, so your profit will not be so high

3. Hash rate

when we discuss hash rate, it is also an important factor, which is determined by the execution speed of GPU, or mining speed. The type of GPU you use and the algorithm your token uses are also important factors

therefore, if you do not have a specific currency, perhaps the best thing is to buy a GPU with a comprehensive hash rate, so that it can play a role in a wider range of hash algorithms

in this way, you don't have to dig one coin, but have the opportunity to dig another

4. Warranty is also something you should pay attention to. However, it should be noted that mining will not damage your GPU more than games or other high-performance tasks

however, as long as you choose to mine, your GPU must perform under continuous load, so for the sake of safety, it is recommended to buy a 2-year warranty. After all, if something happens, the money will be wasted

5. Overclocking performance

overclocking is also something you need to study, because many GPUs can adjust to faster performance, sometimes even 20-30% faster

this can make the graphics card more efficient, help you make more contributions when solving each block, and then ensure more sharing. Considering this, it depends on the overclocking performance of GPU. When it is forced to the limit, it is necessary to choose the one that can do better

of course, there are other minor factors that can also affect your performance as a miner, but these are the main things to pay attention to.
