## Options ## Options
By default, XMRig try choice optimal threads settings for current CPU with very estimated maximum CPU load 75% (`--max-cpu-usage=75`). By default, XMRig try choice optimal threads settings for current CPU with very estimated maximum CPU load 75% (`--max-cpu-usage=75`).
### Algorithm
``` ```
-a, --algo=ALGO cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite -a, --algo=ALGO cryptonight (default) or cryptonight-lite
``` ```
If you want use CryptoNight-Lite (AEON) you should specify this option `--algo=cryptonight-lite`. For cryptonight (Monero) it's option optional. If you want use CryptoNight-Lite (AEON) you should specify this option `--algo=cryptonight-lite`. For cryptonight (Monero) it's option optional.
### Threads count
``` ```
-t, --threads=N number of miner threads -t, --threads=N number of miner threads
``` ```
Manually specified number of threads. With `--safe` option this number can be automatically reduced to not to exceed the optimal thread count. Manually specified number of threads. With `--safe` option this number can be automatically reduced to not to exceed the optimal thread count.
### Algorithm variation
``` ```
-v, --av=N algorithm variation, 0 auto select\n\ -v, --av=N algorithm variation, 0 auto select\n\
``` ```
* `--av=1` For CPUs with hardware AES.
* `--av=2` Lower power mode (double hash) of `1`.
* `--av=3` Software AES implementation.
* `--av=4` Lower power mode (double hash) of `3`.
With `--safe` option you can not select AES variations if your CPU not support AES-NI. It will be adjusted to software AES variation.
### Affinity
``` ```
--cpu-affinity set process affinity to cpu core(s), mask 0x3 for cores 0 and 1 --cpu-affinity set process affinity to cpu core(s), mask 0x3 for cores 0 and 1
``` ```
### Maximum cpu usage
``` ```
--max-cpu-usage=N maximum cpu usage for automatic threads mode (default 75)\n\ --max-cpu-usage=N maximum cpu usage for automatic threads mode (default 75)\n\
``` ```
It's very estimated maximum CPU usage for auto mode. For example 3 threads of 4, it's about 75%.
### Safe mode
``` ```
--safe safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU --safe safe adjust threads and av settings for current CPU
``` ```
