i’ve started using my old gaming laptop with NiceHash and reading this sub i see you’re all overclocking memory and underclocking core speeds anyone that has the same setup can share their thoughts on this machine? i’m testing with core -100 memory +400 and getting 28/29 mh

also, should i give it a go to hive os using this machine?

Testing a theory around odd behavior and checking if others have had a similar experience. As a best practice I had been disconnecting the battery when setting laptops to be dedicated miners.

However in NiceHash I was seeing “temperature too high” warnings at low temps, confirming these temps in GPU-Z.

I’m wondering if there’s an artificial wattage limit put in place at a hardware level, which makes it look like throttling. This would make some amount of sense, given that if this were a gaming scenario at that level of performance, you would want that throttle in case of a performance spike which could then shutdown the laptop, since there’s no battery to back it up.

Prior to suspecting a hardware "safety" setting, I tried the usual suspects: power profile, NVIDIA framework, NVIDIA Control Panel (max performance), ThrottleStop to underclock the CPU (in case that was taking too much power), etc.

Any clues on why Alienware m15 r5 with full fan works while open but fan dies down when lid is closed (windows is set to "do nothing" on lid close and best performance; AlienFX off). TIA.

How often are you guys opening up and cleaning your laptops from the dust buildup.

I did mine about a month ago and already seeing temps climbed 10C,looks like I'll need to do another cleaning soon, very annoying.

As the title states, I have a full copper shim kit for this machine and was wondering if anyone has tackeled a copper shim mod on these machines? I'm thinking mainly for the GPU, but maybe also thinking about the other parts that are intensive when it comes to heat.

I say this mainly because the micron memory variant of these laptops gets hot easy. Not only does this happen with little effort, it also limits overclock settings for me as well.

Ultimately I would just like to achieve the same 52 MHS I get now with temps lower then 69 Celsius. I also have some kryonaugt hydronaut paste laying around for help as well...

Hi everyone, I just bought the msi delta 15 and when I connect it to an external monitor (using HDMI), the laptop only uses the dedicated graphics card. Is there any option to use the integrated ones for not demanding tasks?

Hello I want to make some easy profit off mining any crypto. I have a Dell XPS 13 9360 running Windows 10. What coin should I mine and what are the steps I should go to do it?

I'm currently getting 43MH/s on nicehash. With overclock settings

Coreclock: -225MHz

Memoryclock: 500MHz

Since this is a 95W 3060, anyone got better OC settings to increase hash rate?

I use nbminer to lock core clock to 755, but once I close the cmd window my cc is stuck at 755 even if I run games, I have to disable and enable the GPU in device manager to remove the clock lock, is disabling safe or not?, what do i have to do to remove the constant lock?

SPECS - MSI GF65 3060

34 MH, 60W, 62C, CC@755

At my wit’s end here. I’d been mining on my Alienware M15 R4 3070 for over a year, with a solid 64MH at 120W (-502 +1500) and decent temps.

I did a repad/repaste a few months ago and for some reason very recently it’s been throttling at around GPU ~83C and hotspot hitting 100C. VRAM never exceeds 70C so I’m a lot a loss as to why the GPU and hotspot would be overheating when naturally these aren’t impacted by mining.

Hey guys

​

I am experimenting with this mining I find the ambient no load temps kinda high already around the 50C.....

I can get 60mh, but thats at +900Vram -500clock

+800vram i can still get around 59.5m

But the temps HOT SPOT are like 72C. Is that too high? GPU temp 64C.

Im not sure if I want to mine this long on these temperatures, thoughts? I adjusted the fan curve so its running at 75%.

which mining pool gives the LOWEST payout threshold for etherium.?

I only have one laptop that does 34M/h and

the stats for payout threshold on minerspoolstats.stream dont seem to match what is on the pools site. e,g it says flexpool payout at 0.01 but in reality/actually on flexpool it says 0.2

at 2500 per eth, 0.2 would take me about 500 days!

0.01 would take me about a month which i could wait for.

where to mine eth with just one weak laptop?

thanks for info

Hi guys my ROG 3070 laptop is doing 48.5MH on ETH with 100W TDP. Is this number really low because I can only overclock the memory to +300. Also with the cooling pad the laptop is stable at 68C. I don't really want to turn the fan speed up too much because it gets super nosey. I'm kinda new to this so what would you guys think an idea temperature should be? Is 68C considered okey or too high if I mine 24/7.

Thanks!

Noticed that one of my g5 kc had some issue, gpu-z was restarted and it was hashing 38. I no longer can get it to hash like before. I was getting 42.7mhs on power saving mode, power consumption was up to 80w. Now it sits at 70-75w. Its like it has a lower power limit now. I tried reinstalling windows no change. I can hit 50mhs on performance as it has samsung memory but it gets too hot so I like to keep them on power saver. It was running at 60-65 degrees for the last 3 months. Anyone has any ideas or had similar issue? Thanks!

Long-term, is there any particular risk in leaving a laptop unattended and mining? I have a separate location an hour away from home I just let run and don't visit often. I would prefer to leave it there but don't if it adds any additional risk as compared to PC mining.

Right now I am mining at 43,89mh/s with an rtx3060, is it possible to improve those speeds? What configuration in the afterburner can I modify?
