Temps keep rising #443

Open codingForCats opened 3 years ago

codingForCats commented 3 years ago

Using 3060ti and can't remember when, but at some point my temperature started getting out of control.

Originally it was stable around 56-57 degrees, occasionally getting up to 58-59.

Now as soon as I start the miner, in less than 2 minutes it's up to 60 and keeps going higher.

Overheating

From the manual:

--fan Sets GPU fan speed in percent or target temperature (auto-fan). Valid formats: --fan N (where N is the fan speed) --fan t:N (where N is the target temperature) Example: --fan 45,t:67 GPU #0: set fan speed to 45% GPU #1: maintain GPU core temperature at 67C

I'm using MSI afterburner and the fan speed curve (about 50% at 57degrees) was keeping it stable at 56-57 degrees. After the temps started going up, I upped the fan curve and the temps are still going up. Why set the fan speed from trex instead?

In my opinion, it's usually better to control GPU, memory and fan right from the miner since you don't need anything else running. Example, if for whatever reason MSI Afterburner crashes, the card may revert back to the default settings causing the card to heat up and drawing higher power.

From the image you posted, you could lower the power usage by almost 70 watts. Most of my 3060 Ti run at 119 watts and hashing at a little over 60mh. I don't run windows so I could not give you MSI overclock settings.

Thanks, yeah i was trying to be conservative with my settings because I use my computer all day. I'll give the miner settings a try and see if it helps

Your cards should run below 130W. Turn the fans up, if they have proper access to fresh air, 70% fans WILL keep them under 60C. I also suggest removing the temp limit as you shouldn't need one if your cards are cooled properly.

I suggest not modifying the card settings in TRex. Use MSI Afterburner. Set the power in MSI AB lower, somewhere in the 52-65 range depending on your model of card. Also set a static fan profile, maybe 70 or 80, 60 if you value your sanity, or 100 if you are deaf. Drop the core clock and moon the memory clock, I find that 1290 gets the same perf as 1300 but WAY less errors.

Sorry about the necropost, I'm very new to this entire thing but where do i insert the commands? I can't type in the console and the only place I could think of is the .bat file.

algavi555 commented 2 years ago

yes, you can add record "--fan t:62[30-100]" in your miner bat file in any place after "t-rex.exe" that means hold 62 degrees on gpu with fan limits 30-100 percents sorry for necroposting=)
