How do you replace your CPU and GPU if you need to?
Supersop: Power off the entire system for this.
Cpu and cooler: unscrew the cooler clean off thermal paste on both the cpu and cooler, unlatch the cpu retention mechanism and gently take the cpu out
Gpu: push the little black lever on it, unplug the pcie cable if it has one and unscrew it from the case
That’s the lever ^
To install the gpu: line it up with pcie slot, push it in till it clicks, screw it to the case, plug the pcie connector.
To install a cpu: line up the triangle on the board with the chip and make sure it’s facing the right way then gently seat it in don’t push or anything at all. For the cpu cooler it depends on the cooler but it should come with instructions and most are fairly straightforward to install.

Community Answer: Not huge, around 15%
What are thoughts on cards that were used for mining for 2 months and for about 16 hours a day. Would they be worth it?
Community Answer: You’d need to see pictures of their temperatures and operating environment.
Some people hate cards used for mining and others see no difference between regular used and mining used if the miner mined responsibly.
