If you are going to do this at least remove your laptop battery so it doesn't explode.

But;  remember, with that increased fan speed comes increased dust buildup/contamination.  When that thing begins to overheat, it will do it in a very catastrophic way.

Laptops don't deal well with heatsoak.

Miner apps saturate the GPU/CPU more than the most intensive games out there, so you will be pushing the machine into a realm that it was not designed to deal with.


Its always heavily discouraged to mine with a laptop unless its a pile of junk.

What I do is strip them of all of their housings, and have them sitting in a well ventilated place to live out the last of its days mining some CPU algo or GPU algo if applicable as well....  But I stopped doing that ~2+ years ago.
