Title: How do I run a miner at half speed Post by: sethsethseth on November 07, 2011, 03:26:58 AM I want to mine with my 5970's at half speed so I do not have to raise the fan speed and have the house sound like a server room. How do I do this?
Title: Re: How do I run a miner at half speed Post by: DeathAndTaxes on November 07, 2011, 04:54:42 AM One option is to use cgminer.
Set engine speed to half max speed, lower the memory speed, set intensity to dynamic and set fan to 50%. Title: Re: How do I run a miner at half speed Post by: RyNinDaCleM on November 13, 2011, 05:11:08 AM Run on one core?!?

How do I do this? Use guiminer (or backend) with -s 0.02 This creates a pause and effectively reduces speed and temps. Title: Re: How do I run a miner at half speed Post by: P4man on January 11, 2012, 08:30:35 PM The sensible approach is using cgminer and defining a maximum fan speed that produces noise levels you find acceptable. Then use dynamic clocks and set a maximum temperature you find acceptable. cgminer will clock the card up and down to match the temperature at your given fan speed.

I used this approach to find the maximum acceptable clocks when upgrading my home server into a half-decent mining rig. As I like to have full control over the GPUs, once I found those clocks, I set them in cgminer's config file, then set the overheat temp at target_temp +3°C. This way, if any of the fans goes belly up, the card will aggressively attempt to cool itself down and the noise will bring the issue to your attention.

Title: Re: How do I run a miner at half speed Post by: goxed on January 25, 2012, 10:29:01 AM You can sell 5970 and buy a 5870.
Title: Re: How do I run a miner at half speed Post by: cuz0882 on January 25, 2012, 02:08:38 PM There is a setting that will slow mining down to maintain a set temperature. I would recommend that if heat is your concern.
