i have 8 vegas on my gaming pc, with a strong cpu and enough ram u can even play on 1 vega and mine on the other 7 Grin

O wow! That's great. May have to try that out. It may be too noisy if I wanted to stream along with gaming? I'll have to keep researching this stuff Cheesy

how noisy it is depends on how you clock/undervolt & what algo you mine with your gpus, in mining mode my cards run @ 40% fanspeed/60°C on cryptonight what is pretty silent.t he card im using for gaming is alot louder Grin

algos like ethash/lyra/neoscrypt heat up the gpus much more what would need more cooling & will increase noise level. im just talking about vega reference design...other gpus/ custom design with better cooling could be very silent too

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Open air ? Or do you use a closed gaming pc. Im pretty sure open because of the heat. Im also mining with my gaming pc but closed and with a good airflow. Only 2 GPUs but there is already enough heat to warm up my room Cheesy

The problem is I have a dust allergy and thats why im using a closed righ with enough filter. I would love to use more GPUs but thats not possible in this situation. I can put 1 more GPU in my closed rig, but im a bit paranoid about the overheat and dont want to smelt my equipment.

if you keep your gpus cool and everything wired properly it should be safe. you can also buy some big tower for more room Cheesy

8 vegas? Hm.. Sounds very unlikely that you'll be able to mine while gaming.

Vegas are notorius for being unstable as shit. Running 8 at a stable hashrate alone would be a feat, much more playing games while mining. So sorry but unless pics can be posted i call major bullshit on this guy. Probably the reason for red paint.
