Title: CGminer - re-enabling after temp cutoff problem
Post by: Serellyn on January 02, 2014, 10:21:09 PM
Hey guys,

I've got one pretty irritating problem that I need to solve before I can put my mining rig to work.
It's mining pretty decent, each 280x card reaching around 700-760 kh's. But the problem lies with the temperature...

I've got the following settings:
Quote
"auto-gpu" : true,
"temp-cutoff" : "90",
"temp-overheat" : "75",
"temp-target" : "72",

With this, when it reaches above 90 degrees, it shuts down. That part does work perfectly.
However, when it then cools down to below 72 degrees, CGminer says that it re-enables the card but it does not start mining.
So basicly, it stops the card from mining when hitting 90+, but then it doesn't start anymore either and have to restart CGminer for it to work again.

Does anyone know a solution for this annoying problem?

So, for future reference, there's a work around this issue...
Just use CGWatcher if your CGminer doesn't re-enable your cards.

CGWatcher will just lower the intensity for the cards when they are overheating and increase again when they've hit the target temp.
CGWatcher uses the API that CGminer provides, so CGminer (or bfgminer) is still needed.
