⚙️Managing your system resources

Quilibrium will use 90-100% of your CPU power all the time. Take precautions to avoid being banned by your provider.

A good starting point to limit your CPU usage is 70%

My CPU is frying!

Limit your overall CPU usage: Limiting your CPU usage (recommended)

Diminish the number of vCores used by your node: Limiting your vCores usage


In this case, there is a theory that limiting CPU usage is better than reducing the number of active cores. The former approach allows all vCores to operate at a reduced capacity, enabling them to 'breathe,' while the latter essentially deactivates some cores while maintaining full power usage for the remaining ones.

My RAM is burning hot!

Diminish the number of vCores used by your node (easier): Limiting your vCores usage

Diminish the RAM assigned to each vCore (more complex): Limiting the RAM assigned to each vCore

If I limit my CPU usage, do I still need to limit my vCores?

That depends. Each vCore is assigned 2 GB of RAM. So the ratio between your vCores and your total RAM needs to be least 1/2. Even if you limit your overall CPU usage, this ratio needs to stay the same, or you will go OOM (Out of Memory).

The only case in which you may not need to limit your vCores number, is if you assign less RAM to each vCore by Limiting the RAM assigned to each vCore (This, though, it's not the best for your node performance).
