Im not trying to make a living off of this, just make a few bitcoins. Its not going to be running 24/7. I am part of a pool. I just wanted to know if I would have any heating problems.

Nvidia Geforce 9400

Its a CUDA based GPU from what I understand, and in GUI Miner it stalls on Connecting when I try to use it.

Im currently mining in Slush's Pool if that makes any difference.

Im only doing this because my computer sits there and does nothing when Im at school, and I want to put it to work. I will eventually get the GPU to work.

Hello all. I have been looking at bitcoining for quite a while, and have been using the BitcoinPlus website. However, I finallly decided to get the GUI Miner and mine on my Windows Side of my Mac Mini Late 2009 model.

I currently have the fan reved to 3890 RPM, almost 2x Faster then its original speed, 1500RPM.
I also know that the whole point of the Mac Mini, is to disipate the heat.

My question, is I am planning on running the GUI Miner, for CPU Only *Haven't gotten my GPU to work yet*, while Im at school, so roughly 8 hours. Will I have any problem with my machine as I do this? I've left the Miner on for a couple minutes and its already reporting 161 Degrees F.

Thanks in advance.

Can this work with NVidia GPU's?
