I disagree with most of the temp findings.  I find it to be running cooler but the numbers people are throwing out there seem crazy.  My rig avg temp mining scrypt is 77C using engine:1000 mem:1375.  Mining Darkcoin im at 73C using engine:1050 mem:1400.  That is less then 2% cooler for my end result.  I think it's fair to compare the different OCs as I think many others will OC more on x11 because they can push further then scrypt,  I just don't get where people are coming up with this 30% cooler and such.  Many of the screen shots don't mention anything about uptime, did they even run long enough to get to full temp?  Overall I do find x11 favorable to scrypt and I havn't even been hit by any warm weather yet.

Something is off with your setup, perhaps there's no airflow and in scrypt the only thing keeping 77C is GPU throttling?

I have several rigs, fully open (no case), open case, and every single card is running more than 30C cooler.
I even don't need to open windows fully anymore  Grin

Anyway i don't even understand why people mine this stuff as it's not profitable at all...it would cost me money to mine it & sell it

Most people don't mine to sell immediately. If you do, most coins are not profitable for the majority of miners if you take everything into account (investment, power consumption, time). Most people mine for fun and the promise of future profit. Can you do the same just by buying in an exchange? Definitely, I usually do, but it is not the only way.

But these coins are not profitable. That's the main issue why I went back to mining regular scrypt.

Please explain how do you understand "profitable" ?

Haha you are so funny  Grin If this cost money for you then you are in the wrong way !!! If you often selling what you mine you are totally wrong... This game is not for such people and if continue to do that you will be dropped from the train by yourself !!!

I don't know how you came up to that conclusion. Right, now you're getting 0.0077bmg for Hirocoin, which is higher than middlecoin (0.006) and you're paying 2x less electricity. You were right to some extent, X11 is not more profitable than scrypt, it's MUCH more profitable Smiley

My GPUs were at 80°C at 3000 rpm , now they are 60°C at avg of 1500 rpms , with much lower power consumption.

All this means is that the X11 miner is poorly coded and not taking full advantage of the GPU.

The public miner, anyway. No doubt there's a private miner out there that's 100-200% more efficient.

anyone is more than welcome to improve on the gpu miner

Give credit where its due. This guy was first, maybe the same guy I don't know.

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-chc-chaincoin-network-upgrade-161-segwit-activated-422149



please do research, post date 19th january for your link, and

and, 18th january for darkcoin see link:

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/anndash-dash-dashorg-first-self-funding-self-governing-crypto-currency-421615

So, credit, where credit is due, i think he already did so.

Also notice topic id for darkcoin is lower, meaning, posted before chaincoin link

Doesn't look like it, Darkcoin was first on 18th Jan, this guy was 19th Jan.
