however, the graphics cards do not think they are designed to work on h24.
I think they can ruin even if they are fresh.
I am wrong?

Thank you

Hello,
the heat decreases the lifetime of your hardware and can burn it if it's not well managed , that's why it's verry important to keep it in a cool room and manage the airflow of your hardware.
thier are many video on youtube that can help you to do that

Hello,
mining can reach high temperatures.
HW if it is subjected to high temperatures for a long time, can it ruin?
Or when it reaches critical temperatures it shuts off automatically without risk?

thanks

Not all the time it ruins your hardware. Sometime hard ware burn out due to high heat passes because of mining.
If you moniter your miner's temparature in a specific time means that will give a output as a mining. Try to PSU which is fit for the miners you have.
There are many application introduce it for moniter it but not sure there is app which turns off the mining process. Please surf about it.

Thanks for the thousand answers.
As far as I've seen even buying ASICs or graphics cards and HWs for mining, it's difficult to earn by considering the power consumption.
So for now I just wanted to mining for hobbies with my laptop with a Nvida Geforce 960M and an i7 6700 intel.
However, I would not want the HW of my laptop to ruin.

It depends on the capacity of the hardware, some time when it gets to high temperature, it may burn it, if the capacity hight and strong it won't.

What hardware are you referring to though? If graphics cards... don't stress too much because you have manufacture warranty Smiley

One hopes not to go through what phil did...  That not only sucks balls but can cause conflagration of mining premises which is never good. Tongue
Use your eyes, ears, hands, and especially nose to know!  For instance, I knew something was amiss when I could smell that distinctive burnt electrical smell (usuall IC's or electrolytic capacitors) a couple days before my LEPA power supply died.  Also, check your PCIe connectors for excessive heat.  Cheap or faulty connectors are the scourge and will make a high resistance connection which can overheat.
Just consider the power levels being pushed through these rather small volumes.  Wink
