Title: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz? Post by: snedie on March 30, 2011, 12:04:48 AM Can't seem to get afterburner to allow me to clock my memory lower than 500Mhz, although in CCC I can clock it down to 300Mhz (And shave 6c off my VDDC temps too).
Any info greatly appreciated, and just to clarigy my config file is set to allow custom overclocking: [ATIADLHAL] EnableUnofficialOverclocking = 1 UnofficialOverclockingEULA = I confirm that I am aware of unofficial overclocking limitations and fully understand that MSI will not provide me any support on it UnofficialOverclockingMode = 2 AccessibilityCheckingPeriod = 0[/td][/tr][/table] Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz?

Quote in order to get lower memory clocks please follow this: 1- Open MSI Afterburner 2- Set Memory Clock to the lowest possible or to desired amount 3- Click Apply 4- If Memory Clock is not to the desired amount, close MSI Afterburner 5- Repeat 1 to 4 until desired amount is reached 6- Set Fan Speed Same can be done to get higher core clocks Donations are always welcome 167q1CHgVjzLCwQwQvJ3tRMUCrjfqvSznd Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz?

Post by: kindle on March 30, 2011, 02:24:04 AM Try downclocking in the mist of the mining process, also dont change too many times cuz afterburner some how resets the mem clock after applying the changes too many times.

Cause I'm having VDDC temp at 91-93 degree @.@ Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz?

If so, please add me on MSN to make life easy, the email is: snedie69er@hotmail.co.uk (And yes it's immature XD)

my 2 5970 are working at 300 MHz. Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz?

Post by: travex on March 31, 2011, 12:58:17 AM Hmm you are offline now @.@ , btw yesterday I can lowered my memory clock to 250Mhz, but for some reason my computer crashed and after that I cant use Msiafterburn to lower the memory again to 250-300 because the lowest it can go is 500 mhz , ???

Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz? Post by: goatpig on March 31, 2011, 05:03:44 AM use AMD GPU Clock Tool, you can directly input ram and gpu speed with it
i haven't seen an update in a while but the latest version supports Cypress gpus Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz?

Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz? Post by: nster on March 31, 2011, 10:37:00 AM I kinda was successful
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY!!!!! What happened is that MSIA was fucked up by the multiple GPUs (4) and profiles seemed to not work, so you have to put values that are not in the profile (ie: I put 901 core 350 mem), then once that works, I put 901 core 300 mem and it now works :) Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz? Post by: snedie on March 31, 2011, 10:57:44 AM Thanks to nster my system now runs with a lower frequency. As he says, it appears to be a problem with the profile management and changing the values to something different than the loaded profile seems to do the trick.
He has some well earned BTC on the way. Title: Re: Afterburner - 5970 - Memory clocks lower than 500Mhz? Post by: travex on March 31, 2011, 11:26:39 AM Yo nster, thx for the PM, just arrived home. Is there anyway to lower the memory voltage buddy ?

Post by: Fiyasko on April 01, 2011, 04:54:09 PM Im having a simmliar yet different issue.
On my XFX6870BE core 940 mem 1150, Catalyst shows minimum memclock 1150 After burner shows minimum memclock 1150. what the eff? How can I reduce my mem clock? I am going to assume that they're could be some random bios option? [but i think it would only effect my core(pci-e engine clock override)] |
