eXtremal maybe these is a way to make even less CPU usage for nvidia cuda miner? 6*1070 make 99% load on celeron G1840 and make less CPD than on i5
I did not test miner on Celeron G18xx, but know than dual core Celeron G3900 can handle 6 GPUs with 40-50% total CPU load, G1840 not much differ from G3900, 99% cpu load is abnormal. What OS and driver do you use ?

xpm NEEDS CPU and you are running 6 cards on a slow cpu at that
this isnt like any other coin you cant cheap out on cpu and expect to load a rig full of cards
XPM not need CPU power, dual core Celeron at 3.0GHz easy handles 6 GPUs, quad core i3/i5, ryzen 5 and etc gives less than 2% performance advantage.

I'm trying to run 5 RX480 on a Win 10 machine, AMD blockchain driver using xpmclient-10.2.2 with these parameters:

sieveSize = 420
weaveDepth = 40960
windowSize = 8192
multiplierLimits = 24, 31, 35

The rest are set in their default values.

It runs for around 2 hours and then it crashes. Anyone got a hint of how I can fix this?
Quick fix - make .bat file like this

xpmclient
goto label
in miner directory and run it.
