On my Imac, when I let the OSX system control the fan, the GPU Diode temp shoots up to 80C degrees and after enabling Macs Fan Control app the GPU Diode temp drops down to 64 degrees immediately. If you are GPU mining on an iMac computer, you want to download Macs Fan Control from:Īnd set the ODD fan (closer to GPU) to “Sensor-based value” to GPU Diode and to start increasing speed at 60C degrees to a max. Open an account at D7 and configure your CPU/GPU worker. I could not get anything to work on 10.6.8 and I did not try 10.7. Awesome Miner is trying to add the pools one by one to the Antminer to keep the correct order, but there is no guarantee that it always will work.I worked with OSX 10.6.8, 10.8.5 and 10.9.

Quota and 'Failover only' is supported by a few ASIC miners. Double click in the Priority or Quota field to modify the value.
