Title: Noob Question: Is it worth mining with a msi gaming laptop? Post by: SpudMcKenzie on August 14, 2017, 08:05:53 PM Hi guys thanks for reading. I'm new to mining and currently own a msi gaming laptop and wondered if it's worth mining with or if I should invest in other hardware.
The laptop is a MSI GT72 2QE Dominator Pro, with the following specs: CPU - i7 5950HQ GPU - GeForce GTX 980M VRAM - GDDR5 16GB Thanks again guys, look forward to hearing back from you.

Post by: fusepay on August 14, 2017, 08:47:52 PM Laptops are not ideal mining machines due to their manufacturing constraints, they overheat basically (AND are not meant for long term use, although, if you were to create a cooled system somehow, and would only expect a couple or few cents a day, then yeah, do it and let us know the results!
The easier option is to buy USB asics and have lots of them, I have seen up to 50 (at about 2gh/s each) daisy chained together, wonderful.

For the love of god this is so ridiculous now... L2R https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1944976.0 I wish the mods would delete these threads that are the same fucking questions over and over again that is answered in a sticky. Then at least it wouldn't help all the activity farmers. :( Title: Re: Noob Question: Is it worth mining with a msi gaming laptop?
