Title: Bitcoin-Qt 0.8.1 having random cpu usage spikes?
Post by: dennis97519 on April 24, 2013, 02:32:03 PM
It only started to happen today. Asus AI suite is giving me some warnings about cpu temp went above 70 degC every minute or so. So i opened task manager and arranged processes according to CPU usage, and found out that bitcoin-qt is taking up  all the cpu usage. I checked the conf fil and ensured that mining is set to 0, so why is this happening?

If the bitcoin client is overheating your cpu then there is something wrong with your cpu. Aka fix the cooler/fan/remove dust/do something.

if a new block is found, it will use all cores available to process it with results in a high usage for a really short time.

My opinion: nothing new happens on your pc, the temperature today is higher because summer is near.
