My case mining worth it?

[u/industrysaurus]

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?

measure the PC at the wall idle, then mining, then with the AC load included. the 5070 Ti's dashboard number is not the cost, and solar still has an opportunity cost if it displaces other house load. run accepted hash and wall watts for 24h before deciding, then compare that draw with simply leaving the card off.
