Title: Can I mine with CPU and GPU at the same time?
Post by: pilscoop on October 02, 2015, 01:32:19 AM
I started mining DASH with CPU, was wondering if it's possible to mine with GPU too while mining with CPU.

Yes you can, just use minerd for CPU and  ccminer or  Claymore CryptoNote GPU Miner for your NVIDIA GPU.

Keep an eye on CPU and GPU temperatures, if they get up to 85 deg C they are too hot.

ofcource you can,and it will be much profitable if you mine with both GPU and CPU at the same time..
You don't have to do anything special to mine with GPU,First find what is your GPU--Nvidea,AMD etc? and then download the GUI miner according to your GPU (search on google miner for your specific GPU) but don't mine if you have laptop otherwise it could damage it easily..Laptops are not build for mining.

In ccminer sp-mod release 69 there is a -C switch that will enable more cpu load for more hash.. Only around 50KHASH so virtually nothing.

Yes but not many would advocate it, unless it is a "CPU coin" - DASH is not... See folding coin (FDC), XMR, XMG.
