Monero CPU mining, weird hashrate

[Iliektuh]

Hey,

I have kinda useless computers in my home, one of em have i5-3740 CPU and hashrate is 210 around. I think that is surprisingly good. Using 3 threads. Have GeForce GTX 660 in there but I cannot mine with that GPU, right?

Also how can I activate overclock CPU? It's already in fast mode and I use nanopool, Claymore CPU one by the way.

Thank you!

That doesn’t sound like a bad rate for your system.

I get around 450 with an i7 GTX970.

I don’t think it’s worth overclocking though to be honest. Someone might tell you different though.

Our of interest what are u mining and will it pay for itself?

XMR/Monero. I'm hobby miner, not much. Just mining with CPU while sleeping and when I'm out, so that means my computers are mining XMR approx. 15 hrs in a day. Electric is low-cost in here, I live in Turkey now.

Started with ETN actually but switched it to XMR. I trust that project.

Might I ask what is your daily estimate in coins or fiat?

Yes, mining with gtx 660 is useless, so forget that GPU.
Btw you have to consider the fact that when you overclock your cpu, it produces more heat so run the test to see how hot it becomes on 100% load.
What motherboard do you use? Personally I wouldn't overclock cpu but if you want, do.
It will be better if you google for your last answer.

He would be making about $0.45 a day with his cpu

Before you decide your GTX-660 is 'useless', test it with Winminer.  Let it run for an hour or so while it tests various algos and benchmarks.  If Winminer can't use a GTX-660, then it really is junk (for crypto purposes).

Ya nvm about overclocking, I won't do that.

What hashrate do you guys get with CPU mining on Monero? +500 h/s wouldn't be bad if I had.
