Overclocking RTX 2060 memory for mining purposes
Overclocking RTX 2060 memory for mining purposes
Memory thermal throttling. What you observe with the GPU core temperature, the VRAM will certainly be warmer during mining. You can't detect the VRAM temperature using the tools you have right now. The only option is to use a thermocouple or something comparable.
I understand you, but I think it would help to include more specifics.
-I was running the mining process at 6300mhz and 7600mhz continuously for nearly 24 hours straight, achieving a stable hashrate without any rejected shares (27.4mh/s with 6300mhz mem clock and 30.05mh/s with 7600mhz mem clock).
- When I set the memory to a constant +800mHz during the Heaven benchmark instead of using the miner, it didn’t reduce my memory clock by 200mhz. (There were some stutters and the driver crashed after about 2 minutes.) However, when I switched to a +600mHz benchmark, it ran smoothly without any crashes (though there were still some stutters). I’ve underclocked everything else, which seems reasonable.
- I’m unsure why launching my PC still causes the memory clocks to drop by 1 second after startup, even though they should be fine. Also, if the memory clock drops from 6500mhz to 6300mhz, why doesn’t it also drop from 7600mhz to 6300mhz?
P.S. I’m feeling really unwell and might have asked some unclear questions, but I appreciate your help and will be grateful for your answers.
It was an assumption based on your previous posts, but without a proper method to gauge the thermals, who knows what?
Heaven Benchmark won't push the Vram intensely; it's outdated, and the highest APU it supports is DX11. It won't provide a reliable simulation of a mining process.
With the newest GPU-Z update I can now view memory temperature, and as expected it was nearly identical with the hotspot reading. However, the issue is that one of my fans has stopped spinning, and the average temperature rose to 72°C from 62°C. Likely I'll need to return it for repair.
