You ever written any software?
I'm an anaesthetist like ckolivas. I wasn't kidding btw... You are as mysterious as satoshi is. Linux kernel developer, Anime/Manga translator admin, author of cgminer and a doctor who specializes in anesthesia... Who are you?

Meanwhile back in BFL land ... I realised there was a rather important command missing - how do you get the temperature? If it has no built in protection (unlike a GPU) then you'd want to monitor the temp and lower the intensity (well increase the inactivity) if it's getting too hot. Some people live in hot places (e.g. Perth Australia - not me though) and well sometimes the ambient temperature may already be 40 degrees so the devices could possibly get hot and kill themselves - knowing about that before it dies would be good also.
(I guess I could add 'how do you get the fan speed' but these I think will use your standard fans without any regulation so they'll just run 100% 24/7 until they die)

having an issue with trying to use multiple gpu-engine speeds. i have a rig with 3 5870's and one 5970. GPU 0 is 5870 GPU 1 is 5870, GPU 2 is 5970 GPU 3 is 5970 - obviously from same card above GPU 4 is 5870 I want to clock the 5870's at 950, 900 if they're not stable enough. I want the 5970 at 800 or 820 if I can get it. memclock of 300 for everything. So this is what i wrote at first. ./cgminer -o http://miningpool:port -u (username) -p (password) -I 9,9,9,9,9 --gpu-fan 85 --gpu-engine 950, 950, 820, 820, 950 --gpu-memclock 300 I just got a 100% cpu bug out of it. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Any thoughts or suggestions? Not sure, but that looks like a space after each ',' in --gpu-engine that shouldn't be there.

My GPU temps went up 5C when I switched from phoenix to CGminer. Any reason for this?

Before anyone says that you're imagining things... yeah, mine did, too. 5C on one, 6C on another.

Set the temp down then?

This... cgminer allows you to set a target temperature if you have ADL support. Probably your target is higher, so it runs the fan less.

I was feeling generous, so I thought I'd quote from the grossly underused readme...
AUTO MODES: There are two "auto" modes in cgminer, --auto-fan and --auto-gpu. These can be used independently of each other and are complementary. Both auto modes are designed to safely change settings while trying to maintain a target temperature. By default this is set to 75 degrees C but can be changed with:
[snip]
Fan control in auto fan works off the theory that the minimum possible fan required to maintain an optimal temperature will use less power, make less noise, and prolong the life of the fan. In auto-fan mode, the fan speed is limited to 85% if the temperature is below "overheat" intentionally, as higher fanspeeds on GPUs do not produce signficantly more cooling, yet significanly shorten the lifespan of the fans. If temperature reaches the overheat value, fanspeed will still be increased to 100%. The overheat value is set to 85 degrees by default and can be changed with:

Errr... yeah, it can be done, but i think you're missing the point... heh I just tested with an atitweak of a fixed CPU % (47%) on the .sh starting cgminer.
Phoenix: 69.5C CG: 75C
Same settings, same fan speed.
CG does make an extra 4Mh/s, but if the 'price to pay' is an extra 5.5C, then it's kinda.. not worth it.

Okay, I'll bite... why? All that extra heat is coming from somewhere. Since I believe in the laws of physics I would have to say it is using more electricity. The heat isn't coming through my internet tubes. It also reduces the lifespan of my video cards.

Seriously if you don't want to run your GPU flat out, decrease the intensity... but this is the most bizarre complaint yet about cgminer, that it extracts more out of your GPU.
