Graphic Cards Are you guys using your GPUs to mine?

Finally got on the wagon after reading this thread. I have no clue about overclocking.

I watched some YT videos and configured my 3070 using MSI Afterburner as follows
Power Limit : 70%
Memory Clock :+1400
Fan Speed: 61 at Auto

I'm getting 61.46 MH/s at 61 degree GPU temp. Is this okay for a 3070 FE ? Current profitability hovers just around 350 Rs per day.

Also can I tinker with the settings on MSI Afterburner a bit ? I'm super scared of bricking the card. Is it a risk to consider ?

You cant brick the card using afterburner. what are your hotspot temps?

My Afterburner settings for 3070 FE
-400 Clock, +1300 Mem, 58% power (125 watts); This gives me about 61.70 MH/s
Temps don't cross 62 degrees.
Thanks! Getting good results with these settings although the temp is around 67 which might be because it's hot af in my area. Which plugin are you using ?

67 is good temp, you can keep these setting and run for a long time. If you want to be more careful open the cabinet and use a table fan the temp might go close to 60 which is great
 
I haven't engaged in mining on principle. While profitability is well and good, remember that electricity production in India is a zero-sum game. Not only are you encouraging the push to more coal-powered electricity production to meet needless demand, you are also mostly depriving someone else in the grid of electricity capacity.

But of course, selfish means to selfish ends.

+1 to this.
If you have your own solar system producing surplus electricity then it might make sense instead of selling to the grid with decreasing contract rates. Unfortunately, for a lot of things we do, we only think in terms of what it costs us in money. There are so many other costs in the equation we don't think about which we pay in the long term.

Interesting take.
But lets take a hypothetical scenario, lets say I'm am a freelance video editor editing video on my pc 24x7, making money and using electricity. Would that be considered selfish too?

I would say you are at least producing something of value to society. Can't say the same about crypto mining.
 
What if I am editing the shittiest, cringiest videos that will take away IQ points of the viewer?

Anyway I do get your point, I guess I'm selfish.
If one has watched the show called 'The Good Place', they have raised this point very artistically.
They have shown that no one has gotten into 'heaven' for the last 500 years and that happened because the consequences of our actions have become so complex. For example, let's say we are buying stuff from a company which is actually doing atrocities in Africa or using child labor, but we don't know about it. Similarly, our everyday actions like clicking a selfie have a lot of unintended consequences which we aren't aware of.
Yes, the insane data footprint any normal person has these days is gonna become a big issue in a few years wrt the carbon costs it creates.
