Title: Auto shutdown software?
Post by: Miner97531086421 on February 28, 2019, 11:55:59 PM
Does anyone know of some software/software combinations that will auto safe shutdown your miner if it becomes too hot or a GPU and/or anything else fails?

You can do any Rules with AwesomeMiner, also a simple ShutDown rule. Check the FAQ, it is very well described there.

You actually don't need any software at all. Basically all GPUs in the BIOS has a failsafe function which sends a signal to auto shutdown the computer when it goes over a certain temperature. I think its usually 90-95C or so.

If you use Claymore however you can make it throttle however at a certain temperature. So if it goes over 80C or so, it can reduce the intensity and run at a lower GPU usage and get the temps under 80C.

Thanks, I was looking for something that did shut it down at around 80 C so that my house wouldn’t be a boiler room at night.
Especially in the Texas summer.
