I just started the mining thing today. I installed GUIMINER on my laptop which has i7 CPU, 16GB ram and a Asus 560M graphics card.
The laptop runs very hot and blows hot air out the back of the machine like crazy. Although the cpu utilization is 20% or so, the machine is hot. I wanted to check with others here what can be done to fix this or if that is just the fact of a laptop and that GPU?
I am getting 41 M/s hash - is that good? Considering that bitmine sells machines that get 1.2 G/s I am wondering if this is worth running on a 3 year old laptop?
Thank you for advising a newbie
First, it is useless to mine with 41Mh/s.
Second, the "hot air" has nothing to do with your CPU, it's your graphics card.
Switch it off, you will yield 0.00010243
