Hashcat useable on a Laptop - How to Reduce GPU Workload
#1
Hi, I am using my laptop with a GeForce GTX 1650 Ti for -m 22000 (WPA).
However, the process only runs at max 2-3 minutes before cancelling due to hitting 90 degrees (threshhold).

What have I tried:
 - Got a laptop-stand to elevate laptop | get better air flow
 - Got MSI AfterBurner, Tried to undervoltage my GPU as well as in general reduce the speed (Screenshot; Reduce Core Clock MHz -340)

 - Read this thread: https://hashcat.net/forum/thread-9241.ht...t=overheat and thought about writing a python script for it, however with run times of basically just a minute before it gets to hot, this does not seem practical.

Is there a way to change this? So that my GPU does not overheat.
Is it e.g. possible to run hashcat only with 80% workload on the GPU? This would
still be (by far) faster than running it on my CPUs.

Laptops are not suitable for operation with hashcat due to poor cooling. You can add the option --hwmon-disable then the temperature will not be monitored but this is not the best solution.
