Is it possible to mine both on the same rig ( my gaming rig ) with the CPU (considering buying next Ryzen 5900 in 1 month for gaming + 3D rendering) and the GPU (1080TI for now, 3080 when they are in stock) ?
Isn't it 'too much' mining both with CPU and GPU at the same time on the same Rig ?
Totally possible, a lot of people mine with CPU + GPU to maximize the profits and waste less power
Here in my personal rig I have a 5700xt and a 1660 super, and with a Ryzen 1700 (old, but good), and I leave the GPUs mining with Nicehash and I mine Veruscoins with CPU, it's more profitable for me than XMR
It's easy to have both mining, no problem, just be sure to have a good PSU and a good airflow
Thanks !
But is it worth it, with the TDP on an high end CPU, compared to adding another GPU ?
For cooling, I have a custom full EK wc loop on both GPU + CPU, with a 420 mm rad, I guess it could be enough
And a 850W Asus Rog Thor PSU, juste for the ryzen and the future 3800
