Ethereum update: If I want to mine Ethereum at night while I’m sleeping in a standard gaming PC, how worried should I be about fires?
This is probably a ridiculous question, but I want to mine ethereum while I sleep. It’ll probably run for 9-10 hours a night in a standard sized gaming desktop.
It has two video cards next to each other, both fan cooled. There are two intake fans in the frond of the rig and three exit fans, 1 on the back, two on the top.
I’m sure its in the minority, but I hear these freak stories about mining rigs catching fire, and it has me just a little nervous.
How likely is something like this to actually happen?
Are there steps I can take to make it less likely?
