Then, if necessary, mark it as an executable file with the chmod +x cgminer command and finally run it with the. For example, if you have it on the Desktop you have to use the following command: cd ~/Desktop (where ~ indicates your home directory). If you don’t want to donate then please at least consider visiting a sponsor at the top of this page to help me out.Open a Terminal and change the working directory to where you have your cgminer executable with the cd command. If I was helpful please consider donating to the following Bitcoin Wallet: Good luck Bitcoin Mining and please consider a donation if this was helpful to you. Please also take note that I am explaining the process but am not responsible for using this information or misusing this information and damaging hardware. There are other options that you can mess with in cgminer although everything mentioned above is the best way to get MHash to its optimal setting and keeping your card safe from burning out. Note: If you crash, see artifacts and/or go over the recommended temps then back off the clock 25 and re-test until you get to a stable working condition. Continue these steps until you have increased your MHash as much as you can while keeping a temperature under 80-85.Open cgminer.exe and again watch the MHash and Core Temperature.Increase your gpu-engine by around 50 and save the file.Go back to your nf file and open it again in notepad.Close cgminer if you have it open to edit the config file again.Start Overclocking your GPU in cgminer to squeeze out MHash: Re-open cgminer via cgminer.exe and after around 5 minutes record your MHash.Leave everything else the way it is and save the config file.Change the gpu-memclock to about 1/3 of the default clock.Change the gpu-engine to your default GPU core clock.
Navigate to and open your nf file in notepad.Lookup your Graphics cards default core and memory clock speeds first thing.Most newer cards can run around 80-85 degrees celsius safely for prolonged periods of time but I would not recommend letting it get hotter than this. 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. It will ask about naming the config, just press enter for the default name (nf).You will have a list of options show up, next press “W” for Write Config File.

Download the newest version of cgminer from its Git Repository ( download link).Setting up cgminer for the first time: (skip this if you already have cgminer running) I will explain the entire process of creating the config file to changing settings so that you get the most MHash out of your card possible. This being said its not that difficult to get it running and optimizing it for your graphics card. 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.
