What can I mine with this CPU ?

[smho_16]

I just recently upgraded my PC and I have an intel i3 6100 without dedicated card (this coming soon as project cars crashes sometimes with Intel HD530 which is integrated) but until I get the dedicated card RX 460 or RX 470 or maybe a GTX 1060 I want to ask you guys is this CPU good enough to mine Ethereum or whatever coin it's profitable to mine with this.

I have a Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit here but soon will upgrade to latest version of Windows 10 released just now in October.

I know from experience that mining with nVidia cards can be hard on the CPU.
I had a 970 mining Ethereum and one of the CPU cores was going nearly 100%

Well i am doubt about your PC be used for mining ethereum because the difficulty of ethereum is always increase, i think you must check on minergate.com, it is place for mining using PC and there are profitable coins on there. Good luck.

You can mine almost anything with an i3. See my sig below.

 XMR or ZEC are still CPU mineable.
 Forget ETH/ETC on a CPU, they've been taken over bigtime by GPUs.

 Intel integrated graphics continues to be a pretty sad joke - AMD's 3-gen old A10s (like my A10-5700s) are STILL better overall performance than anything Intel has released to date, and the most recent Skylake stuff on the GPU side seems to be LOWER performance overall than the previous generation Haswell managed (though the CPU side got a good bit better at the top end).

This is the best answer.

I can add that the CPU mining with an i3 will give you about 10H/s for mining Zec coin.
I have a long thread here and if you look at pages 45 to 51 there is info on how to CPU mine with your gear.

Ok will try it when I go home, meanwhile I let the minergate run at my work PC(dual core pc but with free electricity gets 10 h/s for mining monero through minergate).

I want to ask another thing here since I am here, when I do web mining at minergate at my home pc i3 I get about 20 H/s in web mining monero and at work PC I only get 4H/s. Does this mean that web mining is utilizing my CPU power or not ?

If you were about to mine, I suggest you to use an i5 or i7 computer for a bettter performance of mining. Another thing, choose a pc which is more cheaper battery consumption as for your pc mine longer and your electric bill would not soar that high

Hi, i would like to know how because i get silly messages about not able to support AES if i use XMR-STAK-CPU by fierce uk
Please can you assist me as i would like to put my i3 laptop to use, its all i have to mine with at the moment.
Even if i leave it to run for 6 months

The best way to mine with a laptop is to sell it and buy some used computer equipment to mine with.

problem is that i am not in the future like everybody else, im behind times.
i use my laptop to watch movies in the lounge using hdmi cable.
i dont know of an alt....it i had to sell it.
