You seem to be one of them, I have paid for my 3080 with my mining profits in less than a year, and I have plenty of life left in it, my current mining stats are 99.21MH/s power 217.6w and efficiency 456.18 KH/J with my GPu memory temps @68/70c, so I have no idea what your on about “cooking chips”

“A simple internet search and Tom's hardware has exposed you. Continue making up numbers“Totally missing the point.
You're trying to appear smug and paint Miners like they all use custom water cooling loops They simply don't, and they are usually overcloking the card on air coooling, like I said.
These are some miners below.

What i miss?
Nice try to backpedal sweetie, but you called me out saying my hashrate numbers and temps were made up and I have conclusively proved otherwise showing how much know, so you then try to spew some crap about other miners that have no comparisons to what you called me out on. Maybe you should run away from this thread and stop spoiling
I recently changed the thermal pads out on my RTX 3090 FE as it would heat up to 104 degrees on my memory while mining for a short while. But my card runs at 102 degrees on the memory now so it didn’t make much of a difference.
Could it be because my gpu is so close to my cpu cooler that there isn’t enough airflow to cool the memory chips? The only other thing I can think of is that I used my fingers to place the thermal pads and apparently that effects performance.
The idle temperatures seem to have improved 31 degrees on the core and 40 on the memory.
Not at all, you’re the one that looks a complete fool, you called someone out on something you have no knowledge about and got caught out spectacularly, and are now hurriedly backtrackingThe truth hurts,you came and posted watercooled temps Even the OP's post is a query on why he is getting 104 degrees mining on his GPU.
This is the OPs post below and the Tom's Hardware post that I included explains exactly why he has 104c on memory.
Anyone tried strapping a case fan to the back? Should be a quick non-warranty-voiding way to solve the problem. Well as long as your case does what a case was designed to do: sit in a corner in an opaque way and keep the components in situ without any windows!3090s certainly vary temperature-wise. Both me and my son have a 3090FE, my Vram temps never go above 96, his temps are always well above 100. Tried the card in my case and get the same result. Shame Nvidia uses such poor quality thermal pads, I'm not willing to open it up and lose the warranty.
The white thermal pads from the factory are crazy soft.3090s certainly vary temperature-wise. Both me and my son have a 3090FE, my Vram temps never go above 96, his temps are always well above 100.

My 3090 was throttling at 110 degC memory junction temp, limiting me to 105MH/s.. replaced all the thermal pads and now sitting about 96 degrees at 124MH/s.
My current concern it UK Income Tax... UK HMRC treats mining as in income (CRPYTO21150 on the UK Gov Website), therefore anyone mining in the UK is liable to Income Tax on the value of any mined crypto, PLUS capital gains tax on anything they make over the initial mined value when they sell it. Madness... Offsetting the cost of electricity and hardware might be possible, but you'd need to show that those costs were 100% attributed to the mining (and not gaming etc..).
Also worth noting in the Gaming vs Mining debate that while mining is undoubtedly stressing the Graphics Card, it maintains them at a constant load (therefore a stable temperature).
Gaming ramps the temps up and down and thermal cycling has a big impact on the life of electronic components...
Whether 24/7 mining is any worse than 4 hours a day gaming (assuming the gaming is maxing the card) would take a bit of research.....
