Title: can i limit cpu usage in minerd pooler?
Post by: miner8t on December 06, 2013, 09:30:22 AM

hello,

i mine from my regular computer and the cpu usage is going up to 100% and makes noises. i mine at the speed of 3 khash/s

is there anyway i can reduce khash/s via .bat file?

i tried a cpu usage limiting software called "process tamer" and it doesnt help.

thanks

How many threads does the scrypt generate? Throttle it back by using  the switch -t 2 where two is the number of threads that you want to use from the CPU.

thanks mate! that worked!

i change it to -t 1 because -t 2 was still doing noises.

When using -t 2 you were still saying to use both cores that's why it keep running full speed.
Using -t 1 it will go with only 1 core...
