Hello everyone! I use cudaHashcat with my laptop's Nvidia GT 750M graphics card to crack WPA and WPA2 passwords. And that's fine and dandy for easy-to-crack passwords, for example passwords that take only an hour or two, but not over that. Because I do indeed have a laptop, it's obviously bad to expose its components to that extreme of heat that they get to because my GPU is running at full force. So, sadly, I cannot leave my laptop running overnight else it may overheat and cause serious and permanent damage. So what I'm wondering is, can I limit Hashcat's GPU usage to something like 50%? That way I could leave my laptop running overnight while I sleep without the fear of it setting on fire and burning everything in my house to ash... Hopefully one of you guys or gals can help, thanks in advanced!
EDIT: Adding the -n 1 option lowers my GPU usage to about 91%, but my laptop still rules at 61+ degrees. I'd like to lower it to around 85% to keep it from going over 60. Is this possible? Thanks!
