Title: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: puremage111 on November 21, 2017, 10:33:18 AM Hello everyone!
Just purchased 6 Rx470 Rig, and i am thinking whether should i mine in the room i sleep? How does electric magnetic field radiation works? My room is close ended, i don't open windows. The distance within the rig and my bed are around 62 Inch / 1.6 Metre Next, the rig is just right under my feet where i would usually use my laptop there, is that harmful towards my health or i am okay to go? Thanks Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: bathrobehero on November 21, 2017, 10:43:07 AM I used to have two mining rigs in my bedroom in a flat when I started out. Mining isn't any more dangerous than any other computer magnetic radiation-wise. You can google the effects of computer generated EMF.
The noise can be annoying for some or even harmful (disturb your sleep) but I didn't mind at all since it was a constant background noise. I had a window open at all times though. Just make sure to de-dust them frequently and of course don't plan it to be a permament solution, try to find a place for the rig elsewhere. Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health?

However, if i could get a oscillator bladeless fan dedicated for the rig, is it okay? Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: Raimy on November 21, 2017, 11:25:19 AM I would think the one of the biggest dangers would be the rig catches fire and you are overcome by smoke asphyxiation before being burned alive in your sleep. If the rig is located elsewhere in your house there is time for the smoke detector to catch it first and wake you up, but a rapidly spreading fire in your bedroom may not even give you that opportunity.
In addition to the fire risk, the constant dry air and heat in your room causing could cause health problems. Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: Turkish88 on November 21, 2017, 11:49:05 AM Try to use your rig for one week and you understand, what need to place your rig in other place.
Dry weather and 24/7 EMF not good for human Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: Mike011 on November 21, 2017, 12:27:52 PM Apart from breathing dry air and possible noise influence on your sleep, nothing really harmful :)

Totally agree with you, the dry air and heat + noise is definitely not something you should get used too. Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health?

you should try :) Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: 64dimensions on November 21, 2017, 01:16:31 PM Actually it hasn't been established yet whether or not the dust of alt coins is hazardous to your health.
Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: leowonderful on November 21, 2017, 01:27:53 PM It’s about as dangerous as having a computer on in your room 24/7. Whether it’s dangerous is mostly your own opinion, most reports of radiation from computers are inconclusive and imo the most you’ll be getting is noise and more heat in a room. If it does catch fire you could die from smoke inhalation, though.

Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: tg88 on November 21, 2017, 01:32:37 PM I put some water container in the bedroom to make the room humid. In the winter no problems. In the summer you will need a humidifier. Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health?

Thanks Mining isn't any more dangerous than any other computer radiation. The noise can be annoying for some (like my wife ::)) Small window open at all times. And i have humidifier. Such conditions are quite comfortable Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: Z1pp4 on November 22, 2017, 09:01:22 AM I have my rig at home, but i never wanted to have it in my bedrrom for several reasons:
1. it generates heat, that i don't need in bedrrom 2. it is noisy 3. my wife hates it :) Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: Makak4R on November 22, 2017, 09:06:23 AM seems that problems with wife is a common problem in all cases!
i have a suggestion - leave the wife behind 8) ;D ;D install more rigs in a bedroom, a man can sleep in living room on a couch ::) ::) p.s. just joking! Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: ikicha on November 22, 2017, 10:32:33 AM This is no problem if you want a noise sound and hot the atmosphere is like a sauna
Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: ir.hn on November 22, 2017, 10:33:54 AM My thought is you will get outgassing of the thermal paste between the processors and heatsinks as well as some possible solder (lead) outgassing as well. As far as the heat is concerned those would be the risks. But if they are WIFI then you will get a pretty big wifi dose which could be the worst part of it. Also electric field which can be harmful as well. You can get RF EMF meters I have the cornet electrosmog.

Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: hheight on November 22, 2017, 06:13:36 PM The main reasons why you should take out the rig from your bedroom: heat lowers humidity, which can strongly affect your overall condition and noise
Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: readygoaw on November 23, 2017, 01:07:25 PM On the contrary, in the winter, such a rig helps me to keep the heat in my room and I do not feel any harm. But in the summer I have to take it out to non-residential premise, because it gets too hot.
Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health? Post by: phuocduong on November 23, 2017, 01:11:40 PM noise, and hot. You should open windows

You know you can turn those LEDs off too. Dont have to keep them on. Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health?

Keep pedestal fan near window to ensure fresh supply of air; open room door to increase ventilation. Title: Re: Mining in the room i sleep? Harmful for health?
