Mining is really not worth it unless you’re willing to optimise.
1st tier optimisation: undervolting + sub-60*C temps/cooling
2nd tier opt’s: BIOS mod + overclock
- BIOS: Disable onboard GPU
- BIOS: Set shared memory to minimum
- BIOS: Set power-up after power loss

- Create a system backup
- Permanently disable Windows 10 forced updates

- Disable Windows 10 User Account Control /UAC/
- System Properties -> Advanced system settings -> Advanced -> Settings -> Adjust for best performance
- Switch to High performance power plan
- Enable automatic login

Note: Carefully observe processes and resource usage after setting up W10Privacy. If needed, reverse: Configuration -> Load Settings -> w10privacy.ini - Download GPU drivers
- Uninstall OS GPU drivers with DDU

- Disable integrated GPU from Device Manager
- Increase virtual memory to the sum of all GPUs VRAM + 50% system memory

- Perform undervolting: OvedriveNTool (AMD) for undervolting; Unigine for stress and benchmark; HWiNFO64 for voltage/temp monitoring.
- Enable compute mode

- Once all settings have been finalized, install NoMachine for remote access.
- Reboot and set a static IP address (not DHCP-assigned).
- Create a system backup.
- Replace the monitor with a 4K dummy HDMI plug.
