  In cryptocurrency mining, it is generally recommended to keep the temperature of GPUs below 80 degrees Celsius. While GPUs can handle higher temperatures, exceeding this limit may lead to reduced performance and potential hardware damage. It's important to monitor the temperature and ensure proper cooling to maintain optimal mining efficiency.

  80 degrees Celsius is definitely on the higher side for GPU temperatures in cryptocurrency mining. While GPUs are designed to withstand higher temperatures, it's still advisable to keep them below 80 degrees Celsius to avoid any potential issues. Proper ventilation and cooling systems can help maintain lower temperatures and ensure stable mining operations.

  According to BYDFi, a leading cryptocurrency exchange, it is recommended to keep the GPU temperature below 80 degrees Celsius during mining. Higher temperatures can affect the performance and lifespan of the GPU. It's important to implement proper cooling solutions and monitor the temperature regularly to prevent overheating and potential hardware failures.
