don't mine on a nuc

the toll it takes on your hardware wont be worth anywhere near what you would make

however if you use a usb coin miner you would probably be ok but I would still be kinda careful.

I have heard that you shouldnt mine on a laptop because of the airflow restrictions and heat problems. Due to this fact do you get the same problems when mining with a nuc or is it not a problem. Would i have the same problem if i had a usb ASIC card like a red fury.

Thanks

The cooling on a NUC isn't the greatest so I wouldn't recommend it.

What I would recommend is putting XBMC on it :D

  GPUs: Gigabyte GTX 670 SLI                     HDD: 1TB WD Black                                PSU: Corsair AX 860                               Beyerdynamic - Custom One Pro Review
