Quick question, was just wondering if there is a way to cap the hash rate?

Most people are would be like "wtf moar is bettar" but due to personal health issues I need to keep the fans down, so I was wondering if there were flags which could be used to cap the hash rate at a certain level...

ex. I am pulling 700Mhash/s, and would want to cap it at 600Mhash/s so my GPU is not at full load and the fans will be lowered.

I've heard of -s but I dunno what the flag does, i've heard it can help though for things like this? Huh

Thanks all, and happy mining!

If you are using Linux it's not hard do to stuff like this even if the program itself doesn't support it. You just run a loop in a script that sends kill -STOP to your program, then waits, then kill -START, then waits, etc, etc. It's not very fine-grained but it works. See:
