Have Evga gtx-1070 hybrid. It is out past its 3 year warrantee.
It seems to work fine for everyday use: browsing, office, etc. I do not play any games although I do run Boinc on it 24/7. It is well cooled and not overclocked.
Boinc apps using opencl seem to have a problem. Recently it will cause the computer to reboot after 40 or so minutes running a Boinc app that uses opencl such as Einstein or Gpugrid. I temporarily replaced it with another Evga and did not observe the problem. I have latest driver updates 472 from NVidia and windows 10 is up to date.
I ran memtestCL over 3400mb of memory on the gtx1070 and there was no problem. The board has 8gb but opencl uses just under 3500 so 3400 was all I could test.
I also ran memcheck86 on the 12gb motherboard ram with no problem to make sure the motherboard was not contributing to the problem This card has not always been in this motherboard.
If this board has problems on opencl apps, can I assume it will also have problems for gaming? ie: if I sell the board on ebay with "not for mining" or put it in my kids computer for games will it work ok?
I noticed, using MSI afterburner, that the card was in the boost speed all the time. Maybe that causes the problem Can I burn a new bios or run some patching app to drop the speed down?
When I get a chance I am going to use MSI afterburner to force the clock speed down and see if that helps. If it does then I need a way to keep it down permanently.
any suggestions?
