    GPU Mining Radeon VIIs dying on me

    GPU Mining Radeon VIIs dying on me


    Radeon VIIs dying on me

    Posted: 09 Aug 2019 03:09 AM PDT

    Hi! Mr. Google wasn't of much help, so I though it'd ask here... I have a 6 GPU mining rig with Radeon VIIs which are dying on me one by one (3rd one died today, in the span of 1 month). The system refuses to boot until I remove the offending card. I've also tried the dead cards in another system and the symptoms are the same.

    Mobo is Asus Mining Expert, PSU is FSP 2KW.

    Has anyone encountered this behavior? Is there any known flaw with the VIIs? BTW, temps are quite low, around 50 degrees Celsius, as the rig is in an air conditioned room.

    Can you use your computer while mining? And some other newb questions.

    I'm about to build a PC for:

    • Video editing (let's call it 1 hour per day average).
    • Photo editing (1 hr per day)
    • Gaming (Also 1hr per day).

    I also just do general computer stuff, but have a laptop I would be able to do most of that on. But still, I'm sure on average I'd do 1-2 hours of tasks like emails, word processing, YouTube, facebook etc in between actual work.

    In other words, I want to use my mining rig for real work 5-6 hours a day. I'm guessing gaming and video editing would stop me from mining. But what about the other stuff?

    Also, the above is the priority. Do I need to set up my mining rig in a way that would compromise all that?

    Is my rig likely to break from the constant use? Because the other uses are my livelihood. Should I get a seperate mining rig if I was thinking about doing this?

    Looks like my GPU will be a Radeon VII, but could also end up being a 2080ti. Any thoughts on that? (And also, should I consider 2 cards?)

    I'm thinking I'll go with Bitcoin mining (mostly because at a glance it seems to be performing well again). Good choice, or too hard? Or are the above GPU's suited to another coin?

    And finally, do PCs and Macs with the same GPU's hash at different rates?

    Cheers. :)
