I just started running NiceHash about two hours ago, and my GPU temperature is between 67 and 69 C. Is this too hot to run 24 /7? Also, one of the temperatures (temperature #4) in Open Hardware Monitor is about 93 C. Which component is this, and isn't this way too hot?

Thanks!

Well, what temperature is acceptable somewhat depends on which graphics card you have, but temps <70 C are great for any card I can think of. Definitely safe for 24/7 use.

If the 93C temp is listed under your graphics card, it's probably the graphics card VRM temperature. VRMs typically operate at (and can handle) temps higher than the GPU, so 93C isn't unreasonable. It's maybe a little high, but is likely OK.

What graphics card do you have?

Thanks for the reply. I have an MSI GTX 1060 Gaming X 6G. The cooler for my card is great. So running my card at 100% utiization but under 70 C 24 / 7 is ok? How much do you think it will lower my lifespan?

The 93 C is just listed under "temp #4" whatever that means. I think it may have to do with my CPU.

Thanks again!
