Topic: Mining on laptop safe if fan is 67% and temps under 70c? - page 2. (Read 261 times)
I made a post a while ago about how I was using my gaming desktop (GTX 1080) and laptop (GTX 1060) to mine, and was strongly advised against mining on the laptop. They said, if the fan was at 100% or close it wont last long. I stopped mining on my laptop for a little but now that I found a program that allows you to adjust fan speed on laptops (msi afterburner did not allow me to do so nor did it show the fan speed at all) (the program is called silent option fyi i believe it is only for MSI laptops tho) anyways, Im able to run my gpu at a minimum 67% fan speed while mining and still getting 68-70c temps. Also I will probably sell this laptop soon anyway as I really never use it for gaming (why would I when i have a kickass desktop lol) and id rather get a smaller more battery efficient laptop... and maybe another gpu for my new mining rig with the extra haha. I feel like the laptop will probably be fine for like a couple months max of mining before I get rid of it.
