What exactly does mining hurt the graphics card? Everyone really hates mining cards?

 We know that any electronic component has a lifespan and cannot be used endlessly forever. Manufacturers will give a reference warranty of three to five years, which means that under normal circumstances your graphics card will not have any major problems in these three to five years, but you should also know that when manufacturers make graphics cards, they think you only use your computer to work at high intensity for three to five hours a day, and then play two hours of games after work at most, it is impossible to anticipate that "users continue to be loaded at high intensity for 24 hours a day for months or even years.



Mining is such a job, and the computing power needed for mining is often done through hashing and decryption algorithms. Long hours of high load load + poor environment, what card can not stand. And mining for money, basically graphics cards are 7x24 hours of work uninterrupted full load operation, general home game graphics cards are not designed for this kind of use environment, long hours of full load operation will lead to accelerated aging of the graphics card, general mining half a year of the life of the graphics card used up than the average player normal use of 3 years of greater wear and tear.



That mining in the end hurt the graphics card what it?


Where to hurt? Where all wounded, what wounded what, wounded to the bottom.


Memory, motherboard, chip, heatsink, fan all wounded, and is not reversible that kind of wound.


In order to squeeze the computing power of the graphics card in the unit of time, the mine will continue to keep the graphics card in an overloaded state for a long time, and the power consumption will increase significantly, and the heat generation will be high, and the continuous high temperature will destroy the soldered contacts or part of the physical structure.



Even if there is no damage, because of the principle of thermal expansion and cold shrinkage, the temperature of the contact point decreases, the expanded part will be stripped or contact is not strict or the wafer structure is deformed, the mining works normally, but once it stops, the card may never get up. This is why miners are afraid of power outages in the mines, or they may not have symptoms for a while, but they may be carried away directly at any time.


The harsh environment of the mine caused by various external damage to the card (dust, various large temperature differences, high humidity, etc.). It will also cause the graphics card randomly appear various small problems or directly hang.



GPU chip is also the same injury, after all, transistors also have a lifespan limit, the higher the temperature of the graphics card hangs faster, the temperature is normal basic no effect. Normal words memory with a decade eight years completely fine, but you use to mining, constantly accessing the memory, constantly tormenting it, which who can stand? Production team of donkeys do not dare to do so. At the same time, cooling is most important! Heat dissipation is the most important! Heat dissipation is very important! However, mining fans basically run at full speed, so they naturally break down quickly. Simply put, "mining is cool for a while, the graphics card crematorium!


So do you simply hate mining cards or hate the black-hearted behavior of selling used cards as mining cards?


Personally, I don't think mining cards are terrible at all, and neither is buying them, and some people say that if they can buy a 3060Ti for 500, they'll admit it.



I agree with this, but we must distinguish that the people who come for the mining card are not victims of the mining card. We are trading openly and transparently, and "cheating" is the root cause of the hate for selling mining cards.


Why do you blame mining cards? Because people don't come to buy cards at all! What "female university students for their own use, 90% new", "my family's own, used less than three months", "guarantee is not a mining card, no deception", people buyers think it is a second-hand card, and then bought back, after playing for half a month began to randomly black screen, screen, and then a few days directly after the cool crane died, that is really the whole person is angry exploded.


There are even the kind of shady mining card sellers, refurbished as brand new cards to sell, really "get rich". If you are a used mining card merchant, you do not have to bother to wash the mining card, you only need to sell the card label: this is a mining card, and mining for a few years, I think no one will scold you, but also to respect you, at least honest, and this is also a clear price, willing to fight willing to suffer, but you disguise the mining card to sell as a common card, it is really how to whitewash is useless.
