CPU stresstest with mining?

Go to solution Solved by Imakuni,

The electricity will be wasted anyways, as I want to test the stability of my system. 

 

As for Prime95, I want to get more into crypto currency. Bitcoin is only an example. The few bucks are a dream, too, I know that, but yet a few cents could be possible, don't you think?

Don't get into mining. Plz. That thing should be dead by now, I'm surprised it still leaves.

 

You want to make some "mining" money? Enter EVGA bucks Folding program, earns you up to 10$ a month if you can achieve the necessary point requirement.

Hello guys!

 

I am currently overclocking my system and I had the idea whether it would be possible to mine while testing the CPU?

If I run a CPU Test for 2 days, I could run a miner and get at least a few bucks back.

Are there any complications?

 

Greetings!

No. It will take you along time to get bitcoins lol. Just go with Prime95.

EVGA gives out cash for folding?

Shoot I'm on the wrong team lol

If you can reach 500k points in a month, it allows 5$ on their store. 1M gives you 5 more (so 10$ total).
