Alternative mining software?

[MakoBec]

Is there any crypto mining software that you can set its power level/mining level? Currently using NiceHash but I can't set its power level because my nvidia card won't let it set. My purpose is to lower the temperature of gpu while mining. I already cleaned the internals of my laptop and thermal paste is not a year old. My laptop is ASUS TUF GAMING FX705DU RYZEN 7 3750H GTX 1660TI 16 GB RAM. some options on MSI afterburner is locked, even I can't change the fan settings manually. My gpu is on constant 71-78 celcius while mining with NiceHash with daggerhashimoto algorithm and octopus algorithm.

People typically undervolt/underclock their cards to increase performance/watt in respect to their mining hash rate. Since you have a laptop, your options in this regard are most likely going to be severely limited. I dare say a laptop is not the best platform to be mining on. They are limited in terms of cooling performance, so running 100% 24/7 is likely to break it sometime soon.

 

Have you checked the overall power draw of the machine in comparison to its hash rate? Wouldn't surprise me if you end up paying more for power than you end up making in coins.
