Title: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: horrorshow on July 12, 2011, 09:53:01 PM I emailed them with this a few weeks ago:
Quote I'm running two radeon 5830's however I have found no way to successfully modify voltage, clock or memory on both cards, just the first one...this is an extreme disadvantage since in MSI afterburner at least I can do both cards, but if I want to slightly modify voltage on both I have no way of doing so. Is there anything I can do to change both cards voltage and clocks using Trixx? This would help me a lot as I am able to overclock this card highly, I just need to be able to do it on both of them instead of just the first. I went out and bought a crossfire connector but it still doesn't work on both cards even with crossfire enabled. Today, I got a response that some of you might find exciting: Quote We have launched the latest TriXX V4.0.2 that can solve below issue. http://www.sapphireselectclub.com/ssc/TriXX/TriXX.aspx Thanks. Enjoy!

Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: Clavulanic on July 13, 2011, 12:55:39 AM I love you. And I hate you. I just ate a big dinner after getting off of work and wanted to lay down and watch One Piece, but now I have to go overclock my rigs lol.
So it sounds like you can OC mutliple cards now, not just the 5830's. Can't wait to try it out. Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: tysat on July 13, 2011, 01:30:43 AM I'm at work so can't test it out for myself...
But what mhash/s are you getting now, and with what settings? Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: Clavulanic on July 13, 2011, 02:52:03 AM for my 5830's...
1030/200 @ 1.2v 1020/200 @ 1.206v 100/200 @ 1.2v They were at about 300mhash and now they are about 320mhash I was able to bump up a 5850 to 400mhash too Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: muyoso on July 13, 2011, 04:14:57 AM 1020mhz core
300mhz mem 1.163 v 325Mhash/s My 5830 is a beast though. Before you bump up the voltage on these monsters, try with the stock voltage. Mine was able to overclock all the way to 1030mhz stable without changing voltage, but I wanted to keep it rock solid stable so I lowered it to 1020mhz.

Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: joulesbeef on July 13, 2011, 06:55:20 AM I'd watch your power consumption when increasing the voltage. remember watts = v^2/r so it is exponential.
you can actually end up losing more than you gain in power costs per coin. If power isnt a concern(er cost) than go for it, otherwise I would get something like kill-a-watt (http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?partnumber=125-416&utm_source=googleps) and make sure it is actually worth it for you to over volt. personally my card power requirement goes up 50% for the 10% gain in mh and that isnt worth it for me.

Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: OgNasty on July 13, 2011, 09:46:40 PM Anyone tried this on a 6870 yet? That card crashes when attempting to make changes with Afterburner in the special mode (used for underclocking memory to 300).

ASFDKJHGALHKF:DASLFJKHPO brb using Trixx on my 13 GPU's EDIT - Working flawlessly so far, I am now able to set my memory clock on every card to 300mhz (afterburner would cause my rigs to crash when i did this with 5830's) Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: bmgjet on July 14, 2011, 03:06:15 AM Still doesn't allow voltage adjustment on my sapphire 6850 :(

FYI it only applies to idle, it goes back to stock at load.

Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: phorensic on July 15, 2011, 06:28:36 AM zOMG the new Trixx works!! I've been waiting for this day for weeks! FWIW I had to disable the Synchronize cards in Multi-GPU config and use the drop-down menu to overvolt/overlock the cards independently.
Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: Bitcoin_Silver_Supply on July 15, 2011, 08:31:44 AM I haven't been able to OC or underclock the memory on my second 5830 card yet. I see it listed as one of the two in Trixx but whenever I alter the settings they automatically revert to default. The same goes for fan settings... Any ideas?

I see it listed as one of the two in Trixx but whenever I alter the settings they automatically revert to default. The same goes for fan settings... Any ideas? I had some similar issues when I was typing numbers in, try the sliders as well. Had to toy around with it a bit, but eventually everything worked out fine. Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: Blackout on July 15, 2011, 09:08:19 AM If you are using a guiminer or aoclbf you have to make sure not to mess with it after you change your settings in trixx and hit apply, just hit GO or START MINING.... and thing else well set the clocks back to stock.

I had some similar issues when I was typing numbers in, try the sliders as well. Had to toy around with it a bit, but eventually everything worked out fine. Yeah I tried the sliders, numbers and manually moving by increments. It seems the fan setting for my first card applies to both, but the overclocking only applies to my first card. It could be a 5830 issue I guess. Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: Bitcoin_Silver_Supply on July 16, 2011, 09:49:55 AM For anyone still struggling I found some mild degree of success in running Trixx and Afterburner at the same time and turning off synchronized card settings (as they don't seem to work for me). Trixx can underclock my second card to 300Mhz and Afterburner handles the rest... Gimped, but functioning.
Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: kiwiasian on July 16, 2011, 05:42:25 PM I still can't control voltage..?
It doesn't let me drag the slider Title: WARNING: Sapphire Trixx 4.0.2 forgets fan speed Post by: deepceleron on July 18, 2011, 08:07:49 PM Just so you know, this latest version has a bug where it doesn't remember fan speed settings between starts. If you rely on your cards running at 100%, or have a custom profile, this is no good.
Does anybody have a link to the 4.0.1 installer, since the Sapphire website only lets you download the latest version regardless of the link you click on? I had to copy binaries between machines because I was foolish enough to delete the old download.

Title: Re: Multiple 5830's now overvolt/overclock with Sapphire Trixx Post by: stsbrad on July 19, 2011, 03:21:04 AM I will try this on my 40 5830's in the morning. been having alot of trouble with them. just ordered the xfire cables for them. I can currently hit 300m on one and 270 on the other but seems when I plug monitor into second card the first one always reverts to something goofy. going to try xfire and trixx in the morning. hopefully the extra power won't be a problem. I had to install more circuits recently for expansion. wondering if the extra voltage is worth the power costs?

I just put 3 5830s in a rig and was having crazy issues with everything crashing.. screen freezes.. artifacts, blue screens of death... high temps.... I was fiddling with things for hours... frustrated, and the main card connected to the display just would work for mining. Yanked the crossfire cables off.. and *bamol* everything running fine and stable getting 330 mhash per card and stayng at about 76c on the top card and 74c on the other two. So if I want to run a game at frame rate insanity or do some crazy 3 monitor eyefinity stuff I can always stop mining and put the xfire cables on, but for mining they seem to screw things up.

I'm up to 70 5830's as of today. When a box goes down it doesn't effect my production that much. Plus I don't like pulling GINORMOUS amounts of wattage on single circuits. This just works way better for me all the way around.
