I live in Rajasthan in India and this much temperature is normal here during summers, it's 9:30pm now and still the temp is 42degree Celsius.

Hey,

Thanks all for such wonderful replies, you've been a great help. Now I can start mining without any worries, keeping in mind the things pointed out by you.

Also the atmospheric temperature in my area goes around as high as 47-50 degree Celsius but I keep my pc dust free by time to time cleaning(it's my first gaming rig bought from savings of 8 months as I am a student), the power supply in my country is 220v 50Hz and using Antec 500w psu.

So PanneKopp,  will the settings you specified in the picture above will suit best for me under these specifications? And are there any other points that I should keep in mind?

Thanks

Hi,

I have this gaming rig that i mostly use to play games but i was thinking of starting mining with it so would love some advice from the experts here, my pc specifications are

Gigabyte gtx1060 6gb version
core i5-6500 3.3GHz
16GB DDR4 RAM
MSI H110M-PRO-VH PLUS 6th Generation DDR4 MotherBoard (LGA1151, DDR4 2133Mhz)

I don't have to pay for electricity so no bill there.

So, please answer my few queries:
1.) Is it profitable for me to mine cryptocurrency? If yes, which one will suit best for these specifications?
2.)How much is the risk of frying my pc?

waiting for your replies.
Thanks
