Title: automatic fanspeed depending on gpu temperature (linux) Post by: biomann on June 20, 2011, 01:25:44 PM Hey guys,
i wrote a script which controls the GPUs fanspeed depending on its temperature on linux-machines. I am using this scripts for some days now and it runs just fine. You can find the script here: http://pastebin.com/kz1Fsb1Z I wrote a script which starts mining, overclocks my cards and starts this script for each card. The recommended way to use this script is running it in a screen-session. For running this on your first GPU start the script like this: screen -dmS fan0 /home/{username}/autofan.sh 0 IŽd like to receive some feedback on this, i hope it will be useful to you.

Basically you create on your own or use the GUI to create a config file, edit the config file how you like it and then: Code: AMDOverdriveCtrl -i 0 -b device0.ovdr The device with id 0 gets configured with the parameters in the file device0.ovdr, including the fan temperature to fan speed curves.

They're possible to get with Radeonvolt for those of us who are using 5850's :)
the ouput looks like this: Code:
