Alright. Let's stay somewhat on topic here please.No shit open air might be cooler. Yay for captain obvious. But you know what else? Those people don't give a shit about the hardware as long as most of it lasted long enough for them to make something off of it and get rid of it. If you think that everyone had "perfect" mining setups designed with keeping the hardware in good shape in mind, I have some oceanfront property in Arizona to sell you. I posted one small example of what I have personally experienced. I didn't say I killed the cards. I didn't say the cards were running at the limit regarding thermals. I flat out stated that one of the cards ran a hell of a lot hotter than normal because of the setup. And guess what, the same thing is going to happen with your precious mining setups. We're not talking about a datacenter with a/c units blowing cold air over everything. We're talking about something someone probably has shoved in a closet somewhere because the sound and noise are too much to put up with.
I'll talk about something I do have knowledge about and that's having more than one GPU running together. Don't try to tell me to shut up. There's absolutely nothing in your post worth looking at. Mining abuses cards. Miners modify and abuse cards. They don't care about the life of the hardware nor what happens to it after they get rid of it. Thus, what the bogus report about is 95% likely mining cards which were abused and sold off without caring what happened to it.
