    I am trying to move a mining farm on to Ubuntu... because of stability Issues on windows, I can disable GPUs to help with troubleshooting and checking for stability. I looked through the Ubuntu forums, and I wasn't able to find anything way of disabling them without tweaking the BIOs. If it's not possible to disable the GPUs with a command like "Nvidia-setting GPU[2]=off" then mabey a way for the GPU to be ignored by the mining software? Windows device manager Running 8 Nvidia GPUs per Rig all Nvidia and I am currently using Claymore miner. Anything helps or just pointing me in the right direction

    If it's maxed out it's cooler already it will drop clocks until it reaches it's lowest clockspeed and then it just becomes too hot regardless.

    so the lowest clock speed would be 999mhz based on the Picture that I posted?

    Powertarget does absolutely nothing to increase the efficiency of the card. All it does is lower the maximum allowed TDP on the card.

    What about the Temperature target Isint the card suppose to stay Under that temperature regardless of the Power target? my other cards look like they thermal throttle when they hit to get close to the temperature target. the picture that I posted completely ignores that temperature target.

    You do realize that if a card uses more power, it also dissipates more power to the heatsink. Right? 
    More Power = More Heat = Higher Temperatures

     

    This is where the "i dont care about power usage" narrative utterly fails you and you need to re-evaluate.

    no duh, were consuming 80KW/H and we have enough Cooling for 341214 BTUs.

    I mean I never mined nor bothered to make a lot of research but wouldnt you idealy UNDERVOLT the cards and not Overclock for a longer lifespan?

     

    lol yea that is usually the case, but we have a flat electric bill so undervolting is not that helpful in our situation. Also, I am cutting the power Limit in half on that card and its hitting 80C right now.

  6. Hey Guys, noob here lol I have an issue, I manage a couple of GPUs for a Mining Company.  Mainly 1070, 1070TI, 1080 and 1080 TIs. I keep having this issue with the 1080 TI cards, they keep getting too hot. Ideally, I would like to keep them under 80C to promote longevity. I use MSI afterburner to overclock them. I would like to keep the temp between 75C-77C, and it usually works with all the other cards. The Temperatur toggle does work for about 40% of my 1080TIs but not for the other 60%. Does anyone know anything about this issue?
