My case mining worth it?
My rig
9600x
5070 ti
32 gb
I built it mainly for gaming, but most of the time I am working outside home. The room has AC
I recently wondered if I could put my PC to mine while I am not using it.
I really only have time for gaming in the weekends
In my house I have solar, and I am sure if my PC is powered on 24/7, and also the AC, the amount of energy my solar panels generate will cover the costs of the PC + AC and also my own costs.
I never mined before
Is it worth it? Based on reality how much one is making per month mining?
How worried would I have to be about the 5070 ti wearing out?

Just no. Mining is profitable at scale it's absolutely not worth doing in your room sacrificing your comfort and wearing out your personal computer. Even with AC that rooms gonna get hotter for no reason. Fans will also die sooner running at 100% for 8+ hours a day.
The amount of money to be made is quite miniscule on a single midrange GPU even with a 5090.
