Laptops generally run at higher temperatures than desktops but you still shouldn't be seeing CPU reaching 95C. If I were you I would clean the laptop and fans from dust and replace the thermal paste.

Laptop is in pristine condition. Just replaced the HD with a SSD, no dust on fans.

Open thumbnail above for proof. Idk I can try a complete uninstall of the client.

All cryptos are FIAT digital currency. Do not use.

I definitely think this bug should be addressed asap. Who wants to use a bitcoin client that has the possibility of DAMAGING internal components? If I let the program continue syncing at a CPU temp of 95C my laptop would fail very quickly. Getting me kinda mad as I am STILL syncing.... been 3 days...

You must have a slow connection or bad setup with the .conf file. It shouldn't take that long. heh...

gen=1 will enable cpu mining and NP. Grin

Have you tried v8.2 ??

I forgot again today.. but will tomorrow. heh..

I miss v7.2.

TXs and sync ups were alot faster and cpu usage was never an issue.

yep cant sync on anything v8 or below :/

Hi

I'm finding that too with the 8.1 windows version even though 'gen=0' is in the .conf file. This causes the miners to lose half their hashpower.

My only solution so far is to set Bitcoin-qt's cpu affinity to 1 or 2 cores.

The previous versions and other crypto clients do not have this problem....

doesnt the command gen refer to the client trying to mine for coins? I haven't told it to mine for anthing as of yet. i set its affinity to 1 core, cpu hovering at 60C, and it still hasnt synchronized.... thanks though!

Hello all,

Ive been trying to sync my bitcoin client on my mac but have problems as the program takes a reported, 400% of the cpu usage. My CPU temps skyrocket to 95 C, forcing me to shut it down. I do not have this problem with the litecoin client.

Any help?

Thanks
