I know i've been a pain in the a## but i can't get this to work at an intensity which doesn't completely freeze my pc
Any help would be appreciated
WHAT COIN OR ALGORITHM ARE YOU MINING? --
My first suggestion would to use the "--cpu-priority" flag. Valid settings are "0" to "5", with "5" giving the most priority to CCminer on the CPU. If you set a value from 0 to 3, the CPU will suffer a lighter load.
So, in your launch line, you could have "ccminer.exe -a algo --cpu-priority 2 -o stratum+tcp://pool.com:port -u you -p x", or something similar. Leave the intensity at default, that is, don't even use the "-i" flag.
Better instructions are found in the "README.txt" included with the release archive. If you cloned from Git, the same text file should be in your compile directory. And, CCminer now states the default intensity on launch. If it is too high, use a lower value. --scryptr
