In general you will slow down the computation anyway, not sure by how much.

But the point is that when I looked to mine IOTA the point is that it cannot be mined apparently?
See for example https://www.cryptocompare.com/coins/iot/post/p_64178

a bit confused now

Yes perfectly feasible so long as the CPU is not especially weak, anything modern will be fine.   I use a Haswell Xeon chip which was cheap because its locked to stock clocks, however its also 70w TDP also.   8 cores and 16 threads means I can mine XMR at the same time as any other function required.    

I've not heard of IOTA being especially intensive but sounds feasible, so long as there is no chokepoints in any part of the system.

I didn't know about this possibility with xmr. I have tried to do XMR cpu and ETC gpu but a few minutes passed well and etc cli crashed after, so I didn't give it a second try ! Maybe my psu wasn't following
Also, thanks for your prompt answer !

Edit : I got one ryzen 1300x and one Fx8350, but I plan to buy a asrock btc to fully use my gpus.

Hello everyone,

I was wondering if it is possible to mine a coin with GPU (ethereum for example) and host a IOTA full node on the same rig.
Since IOTA is using CPU, my first thought is it is possible but I want to have some expert advices.
I know power consumption will take a huge load with this and for the moment I don't really care.

Thanks for your answers
