Author Topic: Going to mine for bitcoin, but need some info first.  (Read 2749 times)

I'm going to mine for bitcoins, but I need info on things.
I am going to mine with a Geforce GTX 660, I know I already made a topic on this, but I don't want to bump it.
1. Anyway, how do you put bitcoin into actual monies and put it on a debit card for example?
2. Will my Geforce GTX 660 get hot to the point of flames or something?
Hopefully not, but here are specs about my machine:
8 GB ram
Windows 8 64bit
Intel Core i5-3570k CPU @ 3.40GHz (4 CPUs), ~3.4GHz
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660
NVIDIA
GeForce GTX 660
Integrated RAMDAC
Full Display Device
4034 MB
1680x1050 (32 bit) (59 Hz)
HP w2007 Wide LCD Monitor

I grabbed specs from DxDiag.
3. Anyway, how do I check how much fans I have, and what are CPU/GPU temperature client is there?
So I can check temperatures.


I don't understand what mining for Bitcoins are.
I wanna try bitcoin though.

if you already have a bitcoin wallet then google should answer this pretty quickly.

Basically, you waste electricity and overclock your computer for free money.

That's about it.

I downloaded speedfan and heres what it says on the fans thing about them:
Sys Fan: 857 RPM
CPU Fan 1767
Aux Fan: 0
Aux1 Fan: 0
Aux 2 Fan: 0
Why does it seem there is 3 inactive fans?

maybe because you don't have three aux fans? idk

probably because there are either three inactive fans, or because it lists three fans regardless of whether or not you have them, and you don't have them

It's very confusing on Google, couldn't understand it.
The Bitcoin site didn't help me either, I need simplified help. QQ
So every bit coin we get can be transferred for USD?

Exchange Centers (ex. Mt Gox & BTC-E)

Don't worry about this. Your graphics card should automatically adjust it's settings so it doesn't overheat. Unless you overclocked it.

From the look of your specs, you should be able to mine. What rate you will mine will be unknown until you actually start mining.

Not if you do the math.
Overclocking isn't necessary unless you like taking risks of loving up your computer.

Nah, I was just exaggerating. I'm doin' fine.

Isn't this free money for the electric company

No, 'cause they still have to power it for you!
