Download cgminer 3.7.2 with GPU support for Windows

31, Jan 2014

cgminer-3-7-2-gpu

It seems that the author of cgminer has removed the compiled Windows version of cgminer 3.7.2 from the official download location here and you may have a hard time finding it at a different safe location. The cgminer version 3.7.2 is the latest official version of cgminer with GPU mining support, all newer versions are designed for use only with SHA-256 ASIC miners for Bitcoins and will not work on GPUs for scrypt mining anymore. So if you are mining for Litecoin (LTC) or other alternative scrypt-based crypto currency you would need to download cgminer 3.7.2 in order to be able to use your graphics cards for mining it. The official download location only offers source code versions of the cgminer and that goes for cgminer 4.0 or newer only. So if you need to download cgminer 3.7.2 for Windows you can do so from the link below as we have provided a mirror location.

Example command line for Scrypt mining:
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://eu.multipool.us:7777 -u yourworker.1 -p password

Alternatively you can edit the cgminer.conf file with your mining settings and just run the cgminer.exe executable file to start mining.

– You can download cgminer 3.7.2 with GPU mining support for Windows OS here…
