Does under/overvolting have any significant impact on the power consumption of a GPU mining rig, anyway?
Yes. It has a greater impact than just changing the clocks. A 10% decrease in voltage will decrease the power consumption by 19%. |

I tried ltc mining for a week, mined about 8 litecoins, sent them to vircurex and exchanged to fiat. Problem is how do you get your money out. Also, yes theoretically you can make more money with altcoins but I didnt see it, during the 5 days of mining ltc.
Now, I am back to mining btc, much much better and more convertible even with monsterous difficulty and downward orice.
You can change litecoin into bitcoin and then send the bitcoins to your favorite exchange. Is it still profitable to mine LTC after all GPUs have (or are about to be) moved to LTC mining after today's difficulty increase? |

LTC difficulty is still at 874, so yes, but it will surely rise. Keep an eye on http://www.coinchoose.com/ or http://dustcoin.com/miningIf you are mining multiple alt-coins alongside BTC, you might want to use my front-end: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149442.0 |

I will continue mining until i get 0.5 BTC ...I'm at 0.4 for now ...
it will be not profitable in about 2 days if nothing change on the BTC price ...
I'm will not mine altcoin, but I will buy BTC on exchanges if price range stays as for now.

So, it's done!
My small rig is stopped for now. 1 gh less in the network ... will not change anything.
I will carefully review BTC price, if it's going up again (depend on diff) I will mine again... I will not use time with altcoins.

litecoins were created by some people who got pissed off that they missed the bitcoin mining early days. I consider them along the same thing as forum gold. Worth some money to some people, but otherwise worthless.
That said, when I get "tired" of using my GPUs (since I have ASICs now) I'll just go back to gaming, and my electric bill will thank me.

Huh? Summer is the primary reason that GPU mining becomes pointless for most folks. In the winter, these things give off lovely, life-saving heat! Especially if you run electrical heating (not really sure who does that, we all heat with natural gas up here in Canada, but I've heard it's done in other places) In any case, the electricity being converted *almost* directly into heat by GPU mining is a benefit in the winter. (even if it only reduces your gas bill by a small bit) On the other hand, running these little furnaces in the summer becomes a detriment as it requires even more electricity in the form of air conditioning to maintain a liveable atmosphere. |

We officially have a Heat Wave here in the UK, so I changed back to BTC mining on my GPUs.
The extra heat of the LTC mining was insufferable in the house. I'll be back to LTC mining all winter, it raises the temperature of the downstairs rooms of the house by 3C. Saves a fortune on kerosene.
