how to reduce CPU usage during WOW boting

all graphics at minimal possible, fps limited on 30. what i can do else?

 

using iobit game booster makes my wow / hb almost never crash, if that's what you're worried about.

make the comp use more cpu to sustain wow and honorbuddy over everything else.

 

limit fps to 4 while its running in background.

 

Thanks man im downloading it right now.

 

how i limit the FPS?

 

Thanks alot, sorry for the newb question, That command i will write down on WoW Chat right? like /console maxfps 4?

do not limit WOW client to 4fps. it was a joke. if you do that, bot will not work properly.
you can limit to 30 if yoo go to Options, Advacnes, in the line MAX Foreground fps - set 30. and MAX Background fps - set also 30. also you programm FPAPS to see current fps at the moment.

this programm is crap. maybe it will help if you got old Dual core PC.
i mean how to reduce CPU usage when you have High-END PC and using 10++ bots - http://i5.pixs.ru/storage/1/4/5/12bots2jpg_7469643_3464145.jpg

Also, make sure that wow is in windowed mode, and drag the corner of the window to reduce the size of the WoW window to a minimum - this helps alot too.

 

Dude i surely Hope that you got that CPU seated properly 60 Degree's Celsius wont kill it but, it sure isnt helping it, i understand the load you have it at but at max load, for CPU life i wouldn't want to see over 55, Especially from an Intel.

 

With this, no addons and:
/console maxfpsbk 8
or
/console maxfpsbk 12

Your cpu usage won't be much.

I don't know if it works good, but there also should be a few macro's laying around that reduce the graphics better then doing it by options.

 

set it to 10 fps it works fine, i do it on all of mine.

 

Yea, better cooling should get situated.

 

60 degrees is no problem at all. If it gets over 80 you might want to start to worry. CPU throttling (the temperature where Intel thinks it might start damaging the CPU) won't even start until about 100.

As far as FPS goes: Don't take it too low. There's a topic on this forum explaining the workings of plugins and the like. Basically; "tick" (the event that triggers a lot of stuff in CCs and plugins) is triggered every frame. If your Frames per Second are too low, a lot of Bot stuff won't react fast enough. It will make you look bottish and will hamper your movement, combat and a lot more.

 

Hello.
In fact, you guys should not just focus on WoW.
In my case WoW takes like no system resources. However, the updated HB does!
Up to 4times, or more, of my WoW. That is kinda heavy dont you think so?

what is the minimal stable fps for HB you think then?

 

Overclockers usually say 70 centigrades is fine for constant load applications (like botting).

 

buy a better cpu i had an i5 3570 i was running 80 90 cpu with 5 bots now i bought an i7 3770k 3.5 ghz socket 1155 ivy bridge and now i run 40 45 cpu useage with 5 bots and my pc keeps getting cold not even warm. running wow good needs a good cpu or els it wil go to high because wow is cpu depending.

Also for those of us who just want more CPU power for doing other things while bots are running in the background;

You can prioritize your running processes so the processor will dedicate more power to specific processes and less to others.

For example, when I am playing Diablo III, I will go to the task manager and click the wow32.exe process and set it's priority to low. I do the same thing to the Honorbuddy process. This insures that my D3 client gets as much processing power as it can take.

I also use this tactic when Honorbuddy is taxing my system too much while raiding using lazyraider or Tyrael. I will set wow32.exe to a higher priority than HB and suddenly my raiding experience is MUCH smoother.
