Might be stupid but I have to ask. (About profit and performance).

[skillywoah]

I have a decent gaming computer. (Specs below)

I rarely game on it anymore because I work 12 hour days and when I am home I'm usually watching television or working on hobbies.

I bot 24/7 with a paragon 100 barb on mp0. The only time I'm offline is during maintenance. After 30 days of botting I calculated my average income from D3 and I'm at $7.98 per day. ($239) which is a nice pillow for my bills and car payment lol!

But As a PC gamer I'm huge on performance and numbers. I've kept an eye on my GPU/CPU temps, idle they are about 30/30 (degrees Celsius), under load they are about 60/40.

Keep in mind these temps are always this temp because I bot 24/7.

Should I be worried about my income versus the depreciation of my computer hardware due to heat and load? I want to think its insignificant but something tells me it's not. I would just like to preserve the life of my PC hardware while maximizing profits, so I don't have to buy new hardware frequently.

(I run diablo 3 in the smallest possible window mode, low fx, all sliders at minimum).

i5 2500k OC'd @ 4.4ghz
nvidia gtx 560 ti
8gb ram
128gb SSD

On a side note. Anyone familiar with what might be the cheapest possible setup to successfully bot D3?

dude, those are excellent temps, you're worrying for nothing really.

my i5 2500k runs at 4.8 and temps fire up to 53 (i live in brazil, damn hot country).
modern chips are built to withstand a lot more heat.

$7.98 with only one bot?? grats

Thanks. Para100 helps a lot. after 24 hours I usually have 1.5 stash tabs full of oranges.

3/4 of them are brimstones the other 1/4 is usually 10-40mil gold. More if I'm even luckier. I also sell gold in 50m increments.

Where can I find some of these "Orange" items?

Make a new profile in your Bios where you Disable your OC, and disable 2 cores and other stuff you dont need to bot.... to lower your power consumption. running 1 bot doenst need that much computer power

And when you wanna play yourself again. Reboot and load your OC profile

One of my rigs is an old i3 laptop that maxed at 2 bots. I runs constantly at 65-72c lol. It's been going non stop for 3 months now so even if it melts I still made profit

Lol my CPU temp is like 80-95?C .... (3 bots)
I think I'm slowly frying my CPU getting a new cooler soon.

servers run all day long, think theyre designed to be used, their shut off temp is their maximum SAFE RUNNING temp. should be fine, im using my 4-5 year old i7 950 24/7
