Completely unrelated to using those two options.
We'd need to know about the cgminer version you are using (certain older versions have known issues) and the pool being used and other such information.
Also, that is well known to happen with pools like ABC and GPUMax caused by the pool.

No, I saw it, and I already changed my command line to include it. Someone else, might have been you, to add the cutoff, which was already in the config.

What was tripping me up was the lines in the config that I didn't put there, and someone telling me to add the temp cutoff line.

Thanks for the assistance.

EDIT: It occurred to me after I wrote this that the auto-gpu and auto-fan lines might have been in the config file to begin with, and I might have removed them. That of course would lead to this situation. I don't recall doing so, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Alright, I just got this error that I've never seen before. I've seen others report this, I never have until I added those two lines:

--auto-gpu and --auto-fan don't have anything to do with stales. Perhaps you missed a LP? Happens to me every once in a while.

Yeah I mentioned that at the start also
https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.1158935

Though I did add the edit back then saying if there was a bug it would need following up just in case I was wrong.

I guess that comment about --auto-gpu --auto-fan has been missed each time?

This little exercise in frustration is why I still use all command line options.

Of course I also prefer a config.sys to a registry any day too

We're not being sarcastic. You need the --auto-gpu and --auto-fan options, and you've been told this many times! In the config, it would look like this:

Code:

"auto-gpu" : true,
"auto-fan" : true,

Alright, twice someone has said to use parms, this is the first time someone said to add it to the config file. I'll adjust it now.

What this means is the lines in the config file, written by cgminer, are misleading, as they don't do a thing unless you tweak it. Which is fine..

If this isn't sarcasm, and "another case of operator error", what is?

It's overheating because you don't have auto-fan and auto-gpu turned on. You have told cgminer to run your GPU at a set clock speed, with a set fan speed, and that's exactly what it's doing. It will happily continue to do so until you GPU bursts into flame. The temp settings don't mean anything if you aren't allowing cgminer to control the temperature.

Just another case of operator error.

Okay, let's start over again.

My cgminer.cfg clearly states, as I said a few posts back:

Code:

"gpu-engine" : "0-1125",
"gpu-fan" : "0-55",
"gpu-memdiff" : "0",
"gpu-powertune" : "0",
"gpu-vddc" : "0.870",
"temp-cutoff" : "90",
"temp-overheat" : "85",
"temp-target" : "75",

Where is the problem? Is the config file missing something, or do I need to add more parms to the command line? Note that I didn't put any of these lines in here, cgminer wrote them when I told it to create a .cfg. All I did was change some parms. It's a bit misleading for these parms to be here and do nothing. Specifically the temp-cutoff part, I would think that means, well, when it reaches that temperature, it stops dead in the water.

And, I would hope the internal shutdown on the GPU would prevent it from bursting into flame.

BTW, thanks for the sarcastic help. Much appreciated.

To clarify, you need something like this:
--auto-gpu --temp-cutoff --gpu-engine --gpu-memclock --gpu-fan <%>

Note that all of the values in <>'s are chosen by you and can be set or ranges, so in this case, --gpu-fan could be 60 or 50-60. I don't remember exactly what --temp-cutoff does, so you might want to set it a few degrees cooler than you think you should, but it sounds like you have plenty of room to experiment without damaging your card.

Why is it so damn hot in here?

I don't run any of my GPUs above 60%. All but this one do just fine between 50 and 60%. Most run in a very cooled environment (air conditioning blowing right on them), "free" from any chasis with a box fan blowing on them. They usually run high 60s, low 70s. This one is in my main workstation, which has cooling issues. Usually 60% is fine, sometimes I can do 50-55% w/o a problem. However, twice recently I found it in the low 90s, and cgminer seemed oblivious to it, even though it clearly showed the temp on the screen in cgminer.

M

Well there you go. You just answered your own question. If all your caseless, air conditioned GPUs do fine with 60% fan, but your workstation GPU (which has cooling issues) isn't fine with 60%, then I say again, bump up the fan speed! "--auto-fan --gpu-fan 25-75".

My question wasn't why it's overheating, my question was why didn't cgminer shut down when it exceeded my threshold? Obviously I can speed the fan up, and obviously I don't want to otherwise I would!!
