Topic: Mining with virtual cores? / Limiting them? (Read 985 times)
While this may not break your CPU fast, It's not worth CPU mining as you will NEVER make a profit and will be making a LOSS doing it.
That sounds like the threads aren't properly bound to cores.
Try using cpuminer as that properly binds threads to cores.

I strongly doubt you are breaking your CPU, but as a general rule, try to mine with a power of two number of cores (1, 2 or 4 in your case) to avoid things like that.

Hi everyone,
I'm cpu mining with an intel i5 dual core which is virtualised into 4 cores on ubuntu,
when i give the command 'setgenerate true 3' to the qt client, what does it mean?
system monitor shows that the unused core is kind of spread over over all 4 threads and the graph lines it generates become spaghetti.
Am i breaking my cpu??
Thanks in advance.
