Is Bitcoin mining bad for your computer?

[hassan1999 50]

If you need to mine Bitcoin without damages, you should buy a high-quality computer dedicated to mining, and then you will never find any problems in mining Bitcoin from your machine.

To me I don't think about the PC that how it will going to terrible in your PC however the top specialist of the excavator says that GPU is exceptionally a decent route for mining.

[xawier 49]

I've always heard that pc damage the mining at home but I'm not sure, maybe I can not use my home because I can saturate and overheat in addition to that I need it for other things, would be to use only one team for this and that this in optimal condition because it is not for any pc, should be a powerful that can extract all the mining that can without causing damage.

Bitcoin mining on your personal computer, do not think about it, it is better for you to invest in an asic miner or buy video cards and create your own rig. The difficulty of mining BTC is high and it needs better equipment that offers fast and timely processing. If you use your computer, the safest thing is that you will damage it.

Mining is really bad for a computer, but cloud mining isn't

I don’t know, a friend’s farm has been working for 3 years already, the cooler broke down on only one card, changed it to 600 rubles and then it works, beat off our own for a long time maybe it was lucky, but I think they should be calculated for this

When ASICs came out in 2013, the hash power increased so much that within a few months the GPUs became unusable. Small miners and older generation ASIC machines powered by their own GPU could not compete with the high-end ASICs and retreated.

During overloads, the wires can still warm up, especially if they are of a thin section and / or are made of an alloy of cheap metals. But more often than not, the most significant heating is observed in the area of the connecting terminals and contacts, but in this case, mining is not to blame, but a would-be miner who did not calculate the load or saved on power supplies

[maho06 154]

yes it can seriously damage the computer It will emit a lot of heat as it works continuously and this puts the computer seriously need to have much more powerful hardware otherwise you cannot win anyway and damage the computer

Да, серьезно. Потому что компьютеры перегреваются и тормозят. Я думаю, вам не следует использовать свой майнинговый компьютер ежедневно.

[carluchobc 51]

I think it depends on the cpu you have. Because if you have a good cpu with good components, it can be optimal for mining. But it requires a very good investment.

Periodically, there are assessments of the condition of video cards that they are "worn out". Especially after mining, which is why buying them is strictly not recommended. Please share examples.

From my experience:

1) Dead fans - the PWM speed control is out of order, due to which the fan does not spin up, does not work at partial speed.

There is one card in which, upon reaching 100% rpm, the fan starts spinning / stopping with a period of 1 s. Solved by limiting fan speed to 99%.

Sapphire Dual-X had problems with fans that stopped spinning until it received a signal above 80% rpm. After that, they cooled down quickly and the fan was turned off. It is treated by replacing the problematic fan.

2) Chip blade. BGA, balls ... The video card displays the image before installing the driver, after which something is wrong. Faced with the words of others.

Then I will add, share your experience so far.

Computer is compatible to do work 24/7, but if you concerns your mining to your computer, thats means it will over hit your computer and reduce the the eligibility of working mostly of the time.

Goodnight. Not that Bitcoin mining is bad. But as long as you do it in a team that supports a lot since it will consume the life of the team if it is not good enough.

[JacM10 86]

Yes, mining on computers that are not suitable to do so is not recommended, they end up damaging the hardware and without making enough profit to repair it, it is recommended to buy a machine from mine to do it, I tried at the beginning when I entered this world and not it lasted a long time because I saw that my machine was using a lot of resources and I knew it was not good, don't do it, look for mining machines

[ceob68 97]

Bitcoin mining has a lot of competition at the macro level, there are mining farms dedicated to this exclusively with state-of-the-art equipment and technology. This means that for a natural person, no matter how good a computer they have, it is practically impossible to dedicate themselves to mining since the work that they currently require to be able to enter the competition would be almost nil, what would be gained is the overwork of the equipment leading to a life quite short useful. If you want to mine there are other options that you can study, the investment would be quite low compared to traditional mining and the return would be according to what you invest.

Mining bitcoin on your computer is very bad because at any moment your computer can overheat and break down.

[ArtoriasTAW 64]

Crypto mining is detrimental to personal computers and it is profitable because this practice consumes large resources and quickly depletes the CPU or GPU of your computer and does not manage to get the power of specialized mining equipment, so the profits obtained will not be enough to offset the cost of the damage to your computer.

I fully agree with you. I destroyed my computer this way and now I know that I shouldn't do that.

[felipe isaza 15]

I do not recommend mining bitcoin with the pc, the consumption of electricity will be excessive and you will not get any profit, on the contrary you will damage your pc

[majeron 88]

If you are using windows operating system, the best program to use for this job in your home is computta. It allows you to mine using both cpu and gpu. Since its power is adjustable, you can continue to use your computer while working in the background. Thanks to the benchmark in the program, you can find out how much you can earn daily, monthly and annually.
 

[sektor63 79]

You just opened a new world for me. replacing the processor? video cards? How often do you replace power supplies? kills memory and core with capacitors?

Damn, when I ask this, the world breaks like a Thanos glove!

comrade, what do you know in the maintenance of mining equipment? What was your post about?

Of course, it is better and more efficient to mine on Asiks.  Firstly, these machines are specially assembled for these tasks, and secondly, the effectiveness and, therefore, the income is higher.  But resource consumption is also higher.  But in this case, at least you can tangibly see the result.  You can even buy not a new car.

mining bitcoin, bitcoin cash, ethereum, dash and zcash are not worthy with pc and it can damage your gpu. if you want to mine something that'll be worthy i suggest you to mine electroneum (minergate), monero (xmr stak), dogecoin (cgminer) but know that some of the softwares that i suggested use your cpu/gpu power.
