I have some CPUs I'd like to prevent from getting too hot, so I thought I could limit the CPU usage of the miner using them. Is that possible through configs? I can't really find anything that helps reducing the mining power and such.
I've tried using "cpulimit -l percentage ./xmr-stak" to achieve this but this seems to REALLY hurt the hashrate in a non linear way since I assume it makes the miner give up on the current hash or something when told to respect the cpu usage? For example if I set the limit to 90%, the hash rate is ten times lower than how it would be without cpulimit.
