Hello,

I am CPU mining at around 100H/s on my home computer.  I have three questions please:

1) CPU temperature is getting to around 90°c.  Am I damaging the CPU and hugely reducing its life expectancy doing this?

2) Could someone please give me a rough estimation as to how much power this is using?  I always left my PC on anyway..

3) I also have a little fleet of PCs.  Is there any device which connects to my mobile phones 4G, then can act as a access point for many PCs and use my mobile phones 4G for internet access?  my phone only allows 3 connections Sad

Thanks

1) Yes. Make sure the CPU heat sinks are clean and there is good airflow. Check the CPU fan is working properly (check the fan profile in the BIOS

2) check the CPUs specs.

3) You can you your phone as a hot spot depending on your phone's OS. It seems you already know that and that your phone is limited to
3 connections. You would need to put a router between your PCS and the phone to support more. If 4G is your only internet option you
should get a router with 4G (if provider allows)  or a 4G adatpter for one of your PCS and use it as your hotspot.

1) that's far too hot for any CPU - you need to improve your cooling. Check the brand of your CPU, confirm which socket it uses then buy a new heatsink/fan combo (also check the height of your case)

2) You can use a device like this: https://www.amazon.com/P3-International-P4460-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B000RGF29Q (which will tell you how much the whole system is using)

3) if cellular is your only option, I would do this: https://www.amazon.com/TP-LINK-TL-MR3020-Wireless-Portable-Router/dp/B00634PLTW. get a new sim card or add a data sim card to your existing plan
