Hey all. Started checking hash rates on some systems I got available if anyone is interested. Not including any GPU stats below, as they are not worth the research for this.ROG Zephyrus G14 Mining MoneroCurrent runtime ~16 hrs. I did get an itch and play some Dark and Darker putting the G14 on a ~1hr break while the ROG Ally continued mining. The good for the G14. Farms quietly fans don't get annoying load and can barely hear them, laptop doesn't feel hot to the touch. Set-up is fairly easy; hash is decent but should be capable of more. Will try to tweak and get MSR mod to apply at a later date. The bad, MSR mod won't apply still need to dig more into this. Tried running as admin and turning off core isolation. I did try messing with BIOS, but turning off security items there opened a can of worms. Will dig more at a later date.MSR failedOpen hardware temps and usageLatest snippet of G14 MiningROG Ally First Gen Mining MoneroThe good for the Ally. Set up is really easy, just ran minor as Admin and MSR mod kicked in no problem. The Ally comes with 3 different built in settings Silent (10w), Performance (15w) and Turbo (30W). I let the Ally run for ~16 hrs no interruptions on Performance. Shocked how well this handheld did.The Bad. I use the Ally a good amount for Gaming and would hate for it to burn up. Not going to mine long term with it on Performance, and not going to run in Turbo. Might mess around and let it do its work for a week on silent mode.MSR successfulPerformance Mode (15w) Ran this for ~16hrs.Turbo Mode (30w) Ran this for only a few minutesSilent Mode (10w) Ran this for only a few minutes after turbo. The temps dropped very fast, so did the Hash.Latest snippet. Top portion is Performance mode ~16 hrs run time. Can see the miner speed increase for Turbo mode briefly, then drop back down when I changed to Silent mode.Last 12 hours, this graph does combine the G12 and Ally together. Steam Deck First Gen Mining MoneroThe good, setup was easy. Just put the Steam Deck into desktop mode.The bad, only 2 cores, and getting ~250 hash. Wasn't worth the time to let it farm for a 16hr period. Would not recommend, similar Hash as GPU farming Monero.End NotesLet me know if anyone wants more pictures or information on any of this. Will help where I can, I am not a pro at this. I Haven't even got MSR on the G14 to work, which should boost the hash there. I am impressed that the Ally Rog with MSR does as well as it did.
