Topic: Limiting CPU/GPU Usage During Mining, Possible? - page 2. (Read 22243 times)

I'm not sure that there is an easy way to limit the usage... I think most people are going for 100% usage maximum efficiency.
If you are upgrading you operating system I would suggest that you backup your wallet.dat to some sort of external medium.
That way if you do format the drive during installation, or loose your bitcoin install some other way you would still have a backup.

Couple of questions for the non-newbies of Bitcoin Mining:
1. When running GUIMiner, is it possible to specify a maximum usage amount per miner? Meaning that, when running Ufasoft CPU Miner, it uses all of the remaining CPU's processing power. Is it possible to limit that amount, to, for example, 75%, so that the mining never takes up more that 75% of the usage. And the same for the GPU.
2. If I upgrade my operating system from XP to Win7, what will happen to my Bitcoin Wallet?
Thanks
