Thanks for getting back to me.
It's not that my GPU is over-heating per-se, it's just really warm (as in the same temps I see if I'm playing a graphically-intense game for 3-4 hours). Since I'm not doing this for profit right now, I'd just like to scale it back a little bit so I'm not maxing it out 24/7 with my miner running. It's nowhere close to max temp, but I don't want the miner to affect the life-span of my card since this is my day-to-day PC and not a dedicated mining rig. I'm really not too concerned about it for now, I was just confused about why the "-s" flag wasn't working.
As for the unconfirmed/confirmed, I just hit my first payout threshold so I guess I'll just wait and see how long it takes. I have it set up so I should get an email when the transfer is made, I have my wallet open so I guess it will just show up in there.
Thanks again and have a good one!
