I believe this, as I do most things you say, honored one.

At the same time my superstitions run deep, and I have seen the insane power draw and heat that occurs on a card when its mining--especially thermal images of the memory modules....I don't understand how some algos stress a card soooo much more than any other synthetic torture test.

I don't know if I would be so bothered by ultra high end cards as they usually have good memory cooling solutions...but many cards used for mining just use air cooling with no heatsink contact on the memory. I've killed cards and I've had plenty of friends/acquaintances/customers kill cards by frying the memory, so I am a bit superstitious.

But I am a country bumpkin and superstitions run deep!
