Title: BUG, Bitcoin-qt client 8 and above CPU usage Post by: Kinetic915 on June 04, 2013, 10:44:52 PM Hello all,
Ive been trying to sync my bitcoin client on my mac but have problems as the program takes a reported, 400% of the cpu usage. My CPU temps skyrocket to 95 C, forcing me to shut it down. I do not have this problem with the litecoin client. Any help? Thanks Title: Re: BUG, Bitcoin-qt client 8 and above CPU usage Post by: Hippie Tech on June 04, 2013, 11:28:23 PM Hi :)
I'm finding that too with the 8.1 windows version even though 'gen=0' is in the .conf file. This causes the miners to lose half their hashpower. My only solution so far is to set Bitcoin-qt's cpu affinity to 1 or 2 cores. The previous versions and other crypto clients do not have this problem....

I haven't told it to mine for anthing as of yet. i set its affinity to 1 core, cpu hovering at 60C, and it still hasnt synchronized.... thanks though!

Have you tried v8.2 ?? I forgot again today.. but will tomorrow. heh.. I miss v7.2. :) TXs and sync ups were alot faster and cpu usage was never an issue.

Who wants to use a bitcoin client that has the possibility of DAMAGING internal components? If I let the program continue syncing at a CPU temp of 95C my laptop would fail very quickly. Getting me kinda mad as I am STILL syncing.... been 3 days...

If I were you I would clean the laptop and fans from dust and replace the thermal paste.

Just replaced the HD with a SSD, no dust on fans. http://s22.postimg.org/hwfzc4est/Bitcoin_CPU.jpg (http://s22.postimg.org/hwfzc4est/Bitcoin_CPU.jpg) http://s22.postimg.org/hwfzc4est/Bitcoin_CPU.jpg Open thumbnail above for proof. Idk I can try a complete uninstall of the client. |
