Title: 5870 overclocking and fan speed [I do donate] Post by: xioros on June 19, 2011, 02:45:17 PM Hi,
I've just done a clean linux install... Hashkill works excellent :) But... It shuts of one of my cards because of overheating... I used the command: aticonfig --adapter=x --pplib-cmd "set fan speed 0 100" I get: Command succesfull used it on all my adapters.. However, they won't take off... they keep running @ standard speed How do I get my cards running @ max fan speed? also: My limits are 900/900 ( core , memory) How do I get my core higher and my mem lower? Grtz /Xio Out Title: Re: 5870 overclocking and fan speed [I do donate] Post by: smoki on June 19, 2011, 03:01:10 PM You need to do:
export DISPLAY=:0.0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100" export DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 100" and so on, for all your adapters. edit: missed the question about changing clocks. To over/underclock, use: aticonfig --od-setclocks=950,300 --adapter=0 That would set your first video card (adapter=0) to gpu clock 950 and memory clock 300.

Donated 0.2 BTC ( poor right now ^^) But I can't set the clocks: ERROR: Set clocks failed for apator 0 Ati radeon 5800 series Please check that the input values were valid About AtioverdriveCtrl, Where can I find a 32 bit version? I could only find x64 :s Title: Re: 5870 overclocking and fan speed [I do donate] Post by: smoki on June 19, 2011, 07:08:18 PM Strange, I can set the clocks for my two 5870s with aticonfig that are outside the 'Configurable Peak Range'. Might have something to do with the fact that I flashed their bios with already altered clocks (to 920/354). In my case aticonfig reports the range as 600-900 for gpu and 354-1300 for memory, but I'm running them at 950/200 (set with aticonfig). Maybe it's because both clocks set in the bios are already outside of aticonfig's range.
I would use AMDOverdriveCtrl, but my rig is in the basement, without a monitor, keyboard or mouse, so I only control it over ssh. Guess I should have set up a vnc server while I had a monitor still attached :). Title: Re: 5870 overclocking and fan speed [I do donate] Post by: padrino on June 20, 2011, 02:09:00 AM That's because aticonfig can't set values outside of the gpu bios limit. Get 32bit AMDOverdriveCtrl here: http://sourceforge.net/projects/amdovdrvctrl/files/deb%20binaries/amdoverdrivectrl_1.2.1_i386.deb/download As far as I know AMDOverdriveCtrl cannot set them either. I just gave it a shot on my system and it works fine for anything within the bios limit but cannot set anything outside of the limit. Any insight on how to get the tool to do this, happy to send a donation.

I use this too for my 2 5870s on Linux (LinuxCoin install) and works great!Title: Re: 5870 overclocking and fan speed [I do donate] Post by: detroit on June 21, 2011, 05:40:40 PM Upgrade your Catalyst installation to 11.6 and you can pump your overclock beyond the BIOS limits.
