Hello friends,

Another question, I've heard time and time again that CPU, RAM, and SSD/HDD does not affect mining.

I want to know the specifics as to why it does or does not. If anyone is able to break it down for me or lead me towards the right direction I would greatly appreciate it.

When mining use the GPU, how can affect the CPU the mining hashrate - right in no way. This is a no brainer

Only generally true, mainly for ETH....depending on the algo, and other factors, the cpu/ram can make a considerable difference to hash rate...the possibilities are endless, but i mine 1 coin that requires 1 core (not thread) and 4GB system ram, per GPU, if i run 6 cards on a 4t/8t 16GB system i get less than half the performance as 6c12t 32gb ram...like i say, it GENERALLY makes zero difference, but some algos are very tricky.....advisers should not assume that the poster only wants to mine ETH, etc.

Same goes to newbie posters, please give as much detail as possible in your questions? What coin / algo, what specs of pc are you using / considering....all info help us, help you

When the Coin is GPU mineable, the cpu has no affect. If the cpu have an real impact on the hashrate, than because the algos needs some CPU power, but i know no coin.
But generally, all GPU coins get no benefits with bigger CPU´s. But you can write the coin you mean to correct me.
