Turning off CPU mining when GPU mining #438

Open vincentmees opened 6 years ago

vincentmees commented 6 years ago

Hey. First of all, thanks for the great miner! Secondly, how can I turn off the CPU mining when I am mining with my GPUs? I am using an i7 920 so I would rather not put a load on it because I will not benefit from that CPU mining.

Thanks!

xmr-stak --noCPU

vincentmees commented 6 years ago

And where do I add this variable?

This is an option for the command line.

ademturk commented 6 years ago

if you click mouse in the explorer window and not on xmr-stak you do it jus hold ctrl and right click mouse and select open powershell or cmd then just enter .\xmr-stak.exe --noCPU that will do it

.\xmr-stak.exe --noCPU

Or delete everything in the cpu.txt file between the two brackets if you can't figure out the command line.

So I know this is late, but in Windows you can add this option to a shortcut. Just create a shortcut to the executable and put something like the following in the Target. Path: (Right click Shortcut > properties Shortcut tab > Target)

Make sure not to put the --noCPU option in the quotes Example: "C:\Miner\xmr-stak.exe" --noCPU
