Doing both CPU and GPU mining on a machine?

[sundownz]

I am doing Intense Coin on all of my CPUs -- sort of a "moon shot" since it's not on any exchanges yet. But at least it makes my CPUs somewhat useful in all the mining rigs, haha.

You can mine with CPU and GPU. I used to do it when i mined XMR and Eth. Just do not expect to earn a lot from your CPU mining as it is not currently profitable when doing so. However, if you are fine with that, then knock yourself out and mine XMR with it.

Agreed. I would double this, don't expect too much with CPU mining. It is just for fun and long term holders.

Yes, of course. You can use XMR CPU miner and any GPU miner you want to. But be aware of system overheat if you have air fans (especially stock ones). This will strongly load not only your CPU and GPU but also MB chipset so better consider to move to watercooling in that case.

Pretty much a silly idea.  Not sure why you would want to stress a CPU for .20 cents a day....

 Even my older FX 8320e CPUs manage more like 50 cents/day on Monero (they're pretty close on hashrate to the octo-core Ryzen parts due to similar clock and cache size).

I agree, a decent cpu can at least produce some Monero.  It's still not as great as GPUs, but it's at least something and doesn't seem to impact GPU mining.

Is it possible for two miner softwares to be running on a machine? One doing CPU mining, other doing GPU mining?

Of course this is possible, there's alot of tutorial in the web. Google is your answer my friend.

Hmm.. But that will affect your profitability since it will eat more watts.

Yes. use https://github.com/JayDDee/cpuminer-opt

or better just use https://github.com/aaronsace/MultiPoolMiner/releases as it is bundled with it
