You're maintaining a hall-of-shame for all the instances where people have failed to read in this thread?
No, incorrect. That is not what I'm trying to say. I never said that running cooler in-and-of-itself was a bad thing.You are trying to say that it's better to run hotter--that a constant 80C is better than running the same cards with custom fan curves that force the temps down lower than the 80C target.
Running cooler is great, just as long as that cooler temperature can be consistently maintained. As an example, you can change the temp target on Nvidia cards to a lower value if you want, but the cooling logic doesn't change (it will still fight as hard as it can to maintain the set temperature, rather than fluctuating all over the place).
I only said that running at a constant temperature (even if it looks a little on the warm side) was better than running in a state where temperatures are allowed to fluctuate up-and-down while the card is under load.
How is it conjecture when there have been product recalls caused by this exact problem?And you are saying this is going to cause the cards to fail more often.
I'm saying it's conjecture on your part.
How is it conjecture when there are people actively baking their cards to FIX this problem?
