Yes, although we can do mining using the CPU, it will not generate Bitcoin. I've tried it, the computer melted.
Bs, cut the crap with the fiction stories, the CPU will not melt because you mine bitcoin or altcoins or play games it will shut down well before melting, all motherboards have this kind of protection.
For mining altcoins, can use the CPU or GPU. But also quickly damage the motherboard.
Again, stupid, there is no damage to the motherboard unless if you think mining works by grabbing the motherboard and start digging a ditch in your backyard to find coins.
If you don't know anything about it stop with those stories as you're just saying newbies and simply continuing those myths about damaged GPUs that have been mining for 6 months and they will magically break as soon as you buy one, OC done by amateur gamers and poor cooling will damage a graphic card 10 times more than mining by the book.
