Miners overclock and overvolt the memory because there's a substantial performance advantage to doing so with little efficiency loss. This rapidly ages the memory.
Also, 70c is well into the temperature range that will significantly age capacitors.
- Workaccount2 4y agoI would hope performance GPUs are using 105C caps. At a 30% derating they should last almost 10x as long as at 105C.
- KennyBlanken 4y agoHigh end cards, maybe. My point stands: a capacitor that spends most of its life at room temperature except for a few hours at ~60c is going to last significantly longer than a mining card which spends 24x7 at 60-70c, regardless of temperature rating.
