I have a question. When I fool around in CGwatcher, the program tells me that if my GPUs reach a certain temperature, it will lower their intensities. I came back from work today and my GPUs were running at 81C, 81C and 82C and CGwatcher was telling me that my GPUs were still fine (a green check). I have 3 280x in this rig. I read somewhere that it's bad when your GPUs reach 80C because the fan will be working overtime to keep them cool which will drastically shorten their lifespan. I don't know what temperature CGwatcher would consider unsafe but obviously 80C was still OK for the program. Is there a way to lower this temperature. For example, is there a way to tell CGwatcher that if the GPUs reach 75, to start lowering the intensity?

Cgminer, as well as cgminer forks (bfgminer, sgminer, etc) have built-in overheat protection. They allow you to set three temperature settings:

temp-target - the temperature the miner will try to keep the GPU near by adjusting fan speeds if the auto-fan option is enabled. Default value is 75C.
temp-overheat - the temperature at which the miner will downclock the GPU to cool it if the auto-gpu option is enabled. Default value is 85C.
temp-cutoff - the temperature at which the GPU should be disabled, and then re-enabled once it cools down. Default is 95C.

Both programs use these same values, which you can set either in your config file or as arguments. CGWatcher displays the green shield as long as overheat protection is enabled in either CGWatcher or Cgminer. You can hold the mouse over the shield to see which one is actually providing the protection.

If you don't have auto-gpu enabled, or have an Nvidia GPU (which cgminer does not get the temperature for), you can enable CGWatcher's Overheat Protection. Instead of down-clocking the GPU, it adjusts the intensity when the temperature exceeds temp-overheat. It will also, like cgminer, disable the device if it exceeds temp-cutoff. On a related note, if a device is disabled for overheating and then cools down, cgminer will try to re-enable it but this usually fails. CGWatcher will also watch for this and restart the device to ensure it gets turned back on successfully.

coins_coins_: The coin data comes from whichever provider you choose - CoinChoose or CoinWarz. If the coin is listed on the selected data provider, it will be added in CGWatcher automatically. If a coin you want to use is not listed on your selected data provider, you'll need to contact them to try to get it added.

Is it possible to get the difficulty data from the wallets in local network? For example, I have 5 miners in my local network, I have 3 wallets for 3 different coins in one of my computer. I want to switch between the coins based on the difficulty of the coins. The coinchoose do not have the X11 coins I want to mine.

I'll have to look into this. I don't know that the wallets would all work the same, as some coin developers seem to customize them... and I don't think the wallets make this information available (though it may be possible to scrape it from the wallet's interface). We're working on creating our own comprehensive coin list because we receive a lot of feedback that the two choices we provide support for are not always accurate or complete. Our software will then use this list by default and get data from various sources on the web. I don't have an ETA on this but it is on the to-do list.

Hey, I'm new to CGWatcher and for the first time tried making it work with SPH-SGMiner. It worked well, but I'd like to know whether "x11 Algo" coins can be added in CGWatcher's coin list or not (I only see SHA, Scrypt & Scrypt-N coins)?? I did give it a try and added a coin manually, however it doesn't updates with the changing market through list of exchanges, whatsoever (all exchanges accepting that coin are also listed in the exchange section). So can anyone help me with this? I'd like to mine "x11 Algo" coins for now, the best profitable one from my coins list all the time. Is there any guide available on this?? Anything that can help me with making it work?? Thanks

As I mentioned above, we are going to create our own comprehensive coin list instead of depending on outside sources. Right now, you have two options in CGWatcher: CoinChoose.com or CoinWarz.com. CoinWarz requires you purchase an API key. Until we can provide this data ourselves, you can contact the developers of these websites and ask them to add the coins, which will then be updated in CGWatcher.

I love this program! I've been mining scrypt coins with it for awhile now and was wondering if x11 support will be coming soon? It would be nice to see the profitability of x11 coins within CGWatcher.

See above comments. CGWatcher has support for newer algorithms, and they will continue to be added as they seem to be popping up constantly. But if the coin data provider (coinchoose.com or coinwarz.com) does not list them, they won't be updated in CGWatcher. It is something to ask the creators of those websites to add support for, then the data will automatically be available in CGWatcher. We plan to create our own list of coins for our software to use, but I'm not sure how soon it will be available because we have a lot on to-do list at the moment.
