Hi, I´ve read a lot and searched... is there a way to just throttle the process to keep a maximum temp?
For example, a command to force the GPU to remain at 80c or less? I can´t find anything!!!
Thanks in advance.

A 1070 should not be getting up to 80C. Make sure you have good airflow.
If you’re on windows, check out MSI Afterburner to set a custom fan curve etc.
if you’re on Linux, here’s what you can do to set fan speed and control GPU

Thanks for the reply, its a ASUS Strix gl502vs laptop, and even though the vents are clean and I have a cooling base, its known for not having the best airflow.
I've tried configuring hashcat with power 1, and even like that the temp ramps up to 85+ in less than a minute, so I abort.
I was wondering if there was a method to force the temp to keep down, even if it takes a whole longer, or using just less GPU to keep the temp low.

leaving out that unnecessary part about "mobile" in the hardware type description. I mean, it's just completely different hardware, why bother mentioning

Yeah, Im aware, but its the only hardware I have access at the moment, and thats precisely why I would want to keep the temp under 80 if at all possible by throttling down the GPU...
So I take it theres no current way to do so?
Other than using third-party software to regulate fan speed and/or clock speed, no. You can add -w1 and see if that lowers the load enough to keep the temps down.
I see, thanks for the answers!
