Title: GPU shutdown script for Ubuntu Post by: afarzin on June 11, 2011, 12:11:53 AM Is there a way to have a video card stop hashing if a temperature get's really high?

Title: Re: GPU shutdown script for Ubuntu Post by: horrorshow on June 11, 2011, 12:59:27 AM Quote Yes. That was not helpful at all. Since it's linux, find a program that will monitor the hardware temperatures (there are numerous ones out there). Then make a shell script and find the temperature output by executing this program with whichever arguments you want. Then, take that output and use a conditional statement to kill your miner processes and spit out an error message if the temp exceeds your desired Tmax. Run this script on a constant loop (using "while true") or with a cron set to every minute. I'm not at home right now, and unfortunately that means I don't have enough time to lay all this out or even draft anything...but if you've done a shell script before this should be fairly easy.

I'd be happy to write one, need: Command to check temp of each card, sample output Command to run miner for each card Output of 'ps ax' while miners running Title: Re: GPU shutdown script for Ubuntu Post by: horrorshow on June 11, 2011, 01:17:06 AM Sorry, you are technically correct. I just don't think he had a yes/no in mind. He may be thinking there's a script already out there just ready for him to run. In most cases people just write these themselves.

has a part in it that shuts down gpu at certain temperature (starting around line ~138) So you can look there how it can be done :) |
