Cgminer tutorial linux
Keep an eye on your GPU’s temperature when doing this as you want to make sure it doesn’t get too hot and damage the GPU. NOTE: if you are happy with the MHash you are getting at this point all you need to do is run cgminer.exe to begin mining the pool you setup earlier since its all saved in the config file you just created.īitcoin mining uses your GPU core and not the memory so you will want to clock your memories core down and over clock your GPU core.

Anyone who starts out mining Bitcoins for the first time generally stays away from cgminer because it takes a little bit of over clocking knowledge if you want to get the best Mhash/s from your GPU or GPU’s.
