Recently I got into bitcoin mining and I tweaked my GPU to pretty extreme settings for optimal performance. I just want to know if running these settings with 100% load 24/7 will fry my card.
MSI GTX 1060 3GB. Fan at 70%, GPU -200MHz, Memory + 990MHz stable at 52c with side panel open and 63c with side panel installed. 1759MHz core, 4795MHz memory.
I read around and people said that it is heat that will kill your card. So with 63c with side panel installed and mining for hours now, how likely is it that I will kill my graphics card simply due to 100% load? I'm also curious if cranking the memory to nearly +1GHz is also going to severely shorten the lifespan of the card. I do not plan on upgrading this PC for at least a few years.
