Title: Has anyone developed something that can shutdown your machine at a certain temp?
Post by: mackminer on September 26, 2011, 09:35:15 PM
Some script where it detects a certain temp. I would prefer for my cards not to go to the temp where they need to throttle down before it stops.

I'm using linuxcoin by the way.

Thanks.

cgminer has built in throttling with customer temps. 

You can set both temp to start throttling and temp to completely shutdown the cards.

Thanks for that. I checked out lm_sensors but it has no drivers for AMD's hardware.

Can anyone point how I would go about running the script based on temperature info I can get with aticonfig --get-temperature (think this is the command off the top of my head)

Thanks.

temps:  aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

to watch them every 2 seconds: watch -n 2 aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt

Yup did know that :)  How could I integrate that with a script that would shutdown at a certain temp? Just in case my cooling fails or something. I would prefer that the cards do not go up to throttle down stage.

Thanks.
