1  Alternate cryptocurrencies / Mining (Altcoins) / Silent mining: Is it even possible? on: April 24, 2018, 06:11:59 AM
So, one of the reasons I finally created an account after so long of only lurking is that I'm thinking about buying some mining rigs. Thing is I have a "personal" desk as a masters student in my uni and could leave a pc there (with free energy of course), but the room has other 12 desks and people can't be bothered with the noise. Of course some noise would be ok, but it had to be something annoying only at very closerange.

But would using 2 cards in a silent case for example: 1) be really silent; 2) manage to be kept cool enough; 3)be worth the trouble?

About 3) specifically, I was thinking about, for example 2 rx570, which according to whattomine, profit is about 30% higher with free energy, in the long run it's a lot but if the costs of making the rig really silent and cool (good silent case, coolers and eetc), if even possible, be too much it's of course better to keep the mining rig at home.

I was thinking about this case for example,

Anyone has had experience with this?
