PhoenixMiner 2.8c is officially released. Note that there are changes since 2.8b, so if you are running 2.8b, you should upgrade to this version. Here is the full list of changes since 2.7c (the last official release):

  • Added support for -tstop and -tstart options to stop mining on given GPU if the temperature rise above specified value and restart it after it cools down below -tstart temperature

In help file of 2.8c -tstop and -start are placed inside section "for AMD cards only". I hope it is by mistake? Will it work on NVIDIA cards or no?

No. It will not work with NVIDIA cards.

Are you sure? I'm not. Because miner allows to disable mining on any card. Miner also knows card temperature. So I cannot see the problems to stop mining on the card when temperature limit will be reached, and start again when start temperature will be reached.

If it works that's great.
I'm pretty sure without having to reread this entire thread that Phoenix has always said they couldn't control those types of settings for
the NVIDIA cards. But, maybe they can read the temps and voltages but not set them for those cards.
Someone may could answer this best or read the entire thread to see if that is the case.
