Title: AMD cgminer
Post by: gamersimpson on December 25, 2013, 07:07:40 PM
Ok first off don't make fun of me for trying to mine with this. I am not a rich man So i do what i can with what i got.


I am mining on a hp 2000 notebook

it has AMD Duel-core e 300

i am using cgminer to mine. Mining at about 6.2kh/s

but it says thread is 0.

Am i using both amd cores to mine?


If not How to i config my cgminer sypt to add the other amd core?
Note i am new to cgminer i have only been using cpu mining.

You're only using the GPU to mine, not the CPU. You should avoid using your CPU as you'll produce almost nothing from it - hell, you probably shouldn't even GPU mine lest you cook your notebook.

What exactly is 40C? If you mean the CPU, that's probably because it's not mining. If you mean the GPU, then I stand corrected, and you might as well carry on.

If you mean the outside of the computer, or the heat sink, or anything like that, check the internal temperatures.
