When I am running stress test such as prime 96 it runs the CPU on all cores (4.3 Ghz) with the CPU at 75C and it never crashes.
However when I run hashcat on CPU the temps goto 92'C and reboots the system.
Wondering if the --hwmon-temp-abort and -O and -w options apply to the CPU as well or just the GPU?
Here is my command: hashcat.bin -a 0 -D 1 -d 1 -m 1400 --potfile-path=./streetMR-m1400.pot run-c0-m1400-streetMR-sha256.hashes go350-password.list -r analysis.rule -O
This runs for about 30 minutes then reboots. Also which works better if I want to limit the CPU cores/threads to 8? Hook threads or Kernel threads?
for limiting cpu i would go for
--cpu-affinity | Str | Locks to CPU devices, separated with commas | --cpu-affinity=1,2,3
most cpus 1 core = 2 Threads
so in your case --cpu-affinity=1,2,3,4 up to 8 resulting in 8 or 16 threads
for the rest, when your system reboots this could also be a setting in your bios/efi to prevent cpu-damage, take a look there
nevertheless 92 degrees celsius over a longer time should be avoided, so check your cooling solution
