You can set the intensity for how you want to mine in CGMiner. It goes from 1-20, with 20 being your-computer-is-unusable tier (seriously, I've never heard of anyone running it at 20).
I have two settings going, one for 17 intensity which has my 5870 mobility running at about 93-97 C, and one for 12 intensity that I can leave running while I use my computer, which usually puts me around 83 C.
I use it for litecoin mining, but I think you can use it for bitcoins as well.
You can use CGEAsy to set it up if you're unfamiliar with editing batch files.
Topic: Overheating - page 2. (Read 1167 times)
I have 5 win7 computers which are over the day for work and at night they are mining. But have problem because they are overheating and it turns off.
Is there a miner which can be set to how much cpu or gpu is using, so I can limit it not to use 100% of GPU but only 80%.
And must be command line not GUI. Need that for windows 7.
I have setup poclbm.exe for -w25 and -f5 but still happend to overheat.
