if you have rx480s or r9 nanos lying around, then of course pile it on. but if you dont, those cards are overpriced at the moment. i would wait to see what the cost benefit is after genesis to see if worthwhile. ---

If your temps are in check and you aren’t overclocking life expectancy is roughly the same as what it would be not doing much. DO NOT mine on a laptop. ---

TjMax (Tjunction Max) is 100c for the i7 4770 Anything under 65-70c is fine (depending on ambient temperature ofcourse) ---

If your using the Nicehash miner use -t 3 and if your using Rc2 use genproclimit=3 90c is scary I would get a better cooler 😛 [Previous page](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/miner-nicehash-zcash-cpu-gpu-for-linux-and-windows/2861.md?page=25) [Next page](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/miner-nicehash-zcash-cpu-gpu-for-linux-and-windows/2861.md?page=27)
