Hi, I just changed to mining Zcoin with my two GTX1070's because it is a lot lower intensity and still gives a decent return. My computer is in my room and if I'm mining with neoscrypt or equihash, it gets quite hot and therefore noisy. With Zcoin it's at a steady 60C with lowish fan speed.

Are there any other coins that have low heat generation?


Just decease the power limit to 80 - 85 percent it cools down a alot and try mining poly it mines really cool.

Ya I usually also do decrease the power, but when mining certain coins it still goes to 70+C. Not really an issue, but the noise starts to increase to an annoying level. With Zcoin on 100% it's only 63-64C.
What is poly?

The harder your life is the more meaning it has.

Yep - you can mine Credits(CRDS) with your CPU, but not your GPU. Decent returns considering the lower power draw.
