Asked by CryptoNinja23
I've been leaving my PC on overnight to mine cryptocurrency and host servers. My GPU (2070 Super) usually runs at temperatures between 50-70°C, while my CPU (AMD Ryzen 5) stays around 70°C. I'm concerned about whether these temperatures are unhealthy for my system. Any insights? Thanks!

Honestly, you're fine at those temps. Just monitor things regularly and ensure all your cooling components are functioning as they should.

You might even consider lowering your fan curves a bit. Running close to thermal limits isn't an issue as long as you're not messing with any voltage settings. You're doing alright!

I usually keep my fan speed cranked up to 80-100%, which helps keep things cool. Honestly, with your current temps, you should be okay. Just make sure your fans are running well!

Those temperatures are generally fine. I've read that above 85°C is when things can start to get concerning, but you seem to be well within safe limits. Just keep an eye on your system, especially with the crypto aspect—you might not be making much profit considering the electricity costs. How much do you actually earn from mining?
