When you think home GPU mining and quality, you probably think Octominer, right? most of us do - I'm not so sure anymore since a proven, venerable X12 nearly burned a community member's house down last week. GPUs are so stinkin durable, what hardware to avoid, how to maybe fix issues and best practices.
GPURisers is not aware of any fan failures of this mode in their R8s, and we'll reach out to octominer to ask.
