Title: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool - NOW FREE! Post by: phelix on May 26, 2011, 12:48:44 PM Not as clumsy or random as a GUI. Elegant mining hardware control, from a more civilized age.
MS Windows command line overclock / underclock, temperature observe and GPU data logging tool for AMD Radeon HD graphic cards. Features
* Depending on core voltage and hardware limits. ** May only work in big steps at the moment, depending on your card. (e.g. stock Sapphire HD5850 Xtreme: 950mV, 1038mV, 1088mV) New in v0.9.2b: small fix for undervolting allowing idle voltage levels for mining --> very low power consumption (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=40056.0) My four Sapphire HD 5850s can run at 870Mhz instead of 725Mhz at stock 1088mV. Because they get very hot in this configuration I run them at 807/269Mhz, 1088mV. Another possible configuration is 699/233Mhz, 1038mV, saving ~40W per card. Latest Version: 0.9.2b - Download at http://blockchained.com/stuff/clocktweak_installer_v0.9.2b.exe Donate: 1FrZre72S2jbGG2CN4qG94BS6km7VfpMLU As a precaution check without load (=without miners) if everything works as intendend with your system. Also test if the limits work as you expect. This program can destroy your system by overheating etc. - be careful and closely monitor your system temperatures and wattage. Especially on 6xxx and 7xxx systems memory downclocking might be limited. Clocks and voltages can jump back to stock values if you go lower than a certain limit without driver readings (=clocktweak readings) reflecting it. Note: Adapter / GPU order may be different from your mining software! If you do not know what a command line is and how to use it this is NOT the right tool for you. ClockTweak is based on Netxshare's pyADL AMDOverdriveCtrl (Radeon overclocking for Linux). Support Read through the FAQ below. Search this thread. Please do not PM unless I ask you to but post in this thread. Newbies go here (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=22680.0).

Scripts using on clocktweak Lexiko's Auto temperature control .bat script (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28319.0) FAQ Q: Why does ClockTweak give me an error if I try to set the core clock / voltage above xxx? A: You run into the BIOS limit. Either go along with lower values, try another tool or use RBE to modify your BIOS. Some people can beyond BIOS limits with driver version 11.6 / 11.7 / 11.8. Q: Why does ClockTweak give me an error if I try to set the memory clock below xxx? A: You run into the BIOS limit. Either go along with higher values, try another tool or use RBE to modify your BIOS. Some people can beyond BIOS limits with driver version 11.6 / 11.7 / 11.8. Q: How can I reset my card to default mem clock speeds also for level 0 (2D)? A: There is no comfort function for this yet. Either reboot or ask me for procedure using hidden options explained in the readme. Q: Why is the reported fan speed different from the speed I set? A: The reported fan speed is the measured rpm in proportion to the theoretical maximum rpm. A difference of 20% or so is still normal. If the air stream is blocked or the fan is broken the reported fan speed will decrease.

On my HD5850 I can drag down the Memory Clock all the way to 159Mhz. I have asus 6950 DC II which has quite unique voltage control(only the program that asus provides has worked so far). Does your program work for it? does it use the catalyst driver? then it should work I will give refunds if ClockTweak does not work as advertised, at least for people with some reputation on the forum.

I send you back your 0.4BTC.
could you also post the adapter list, output of clocktweak -a your card is already at the voltage limit from the bios. I realize with most cards it will only be possible to undervolt without modifying the bios - I will edit the description. you should be able to set the voltage to 1117mV for example - but try it at a lower clock speed first. the advantage of a lower voltage is less power consumption and also less heat. still you should be able to overclock quite a bit and remain stable. I think your card comes at 725MHz core / 1000Mhz mem stock clocks? so with 930Mhz you overclocked the core quite a bit and 300Mhz mem clock also sounds good for mining.

I became interested in your program because I wanted to up voltage. I care about increasing MHhas/s, and the same 930/300, I managed to get the program AMD ATI Tool. Now I use ClockTweak using batch - the PC always starts with the proper performance :) Today evening I will try to test the program with the Sapphire HD5830.

Manufacturer: HIS Card: 6990 Setup: Single Monitor Clocks were set with AMD's utility, but I going to start messing around using ClockTweak. I've never bothered lowering my memory clocks, so I'll let you know how it goes. http://i55.tinypic.com/el4pjt.png Send refund to: 1Kji4dqXxedXYUyBJHYSUbAqQGwULiS8Zv Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: proudhon on May 27, 2011, 01:27:14 PM So, it looks like changes are only being applied to one of the GPU cores of my 6990. I wondered if that would be the case when I saw that it reported only a single adapter, as you can see in my screenshot above.
Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on May 27, 2011, 02:09:01 PM thank you guys! I send you both the refunds.
@cdb000 these are very interesting programs. until now I had never found ATT and only an older version of the GPU Tool. ATT I can only get work with one card, the same as with a lot of other programs. Do you use any of the tweak options for mining? The GPU tool seems to be really sophisticated I will take a close look at what it can do. @proudhon Seems like you found the first problem already. it applies to dual gpu cards like the 5970 and the 6990. I will look into it. Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: proudhon on May 27, 2011, 02:20:04 PM thank you guys!

The GPU tool seems to be really sophisticated I will take a close look at what it can do. I found that ATT would only work for one card, so I use it on the XP box which has only 1 card (don't be misled by the clocktweak output - the machine has 1 card with 2 monitors) I only use it to set the clocks, I never bothered with the tweaks simply because I am too lazy to spend time messing with it - "If it isn't broken, don't fix it". It is convenient because it can run at startup without human intervention. The XP machine is my desktop, and tends to need occasional reboots. I stick with XP on this because there is a game I like to play that I have not been able to get working correctly on Win7. AMD GPU Clock Tool allows more cards. It works for me on a machine with 4 HD5870s, but I have not been able to use it to set voltages. It does have the useful ability to log temperatures to a file. The version I have is 0.9.26.0 and I have no idea whether it is up to date or not. I can't remember where I downloaded it, but it turns up in quite a few places with a Google search. My 4 dedicated mining machines run Win7 which seems to be stable enough that the irritation of having to set clocks manually on a reboot isn't that great. (1 reboot in 3 months, caused by power failure) I am hoping that clocktweak will allow me to set voltages. I will experiment this evening when I am at hope. I am too much of a coward to try setting voltages remotely in case a do something that needs a hard reboot to recover - VNC has its limits. With difficulty rising, it may be that the last few Bitcents can be mined by underclocking and undervoltaging the cards to reduce power use and improve hashes per Watt.

what are the brands of your cards? a value of thumb is to set the memory clock to a third of the core clock. and the core clock as high as thermally stable at current voltage. some people say there is are sweet spots, configurations that work better than others just a Mhz away and stay particularly cool. I have not yet decided on this.

Post by: TeaRex on June 17, 2011, 07:48:46 PM With ClockTweak I'm seemingly able to underlock my Radeon HD 6990's memory all the way down to 1 MHz. Reading back, the same value comes out. I kind of doubt that the hardware actually supports running at 1 MHz Commodore 64 speed though... And I don't seem to get any noticeable temperature drop either. So how do I find out how much I can REALLY underclock. MSI Afterburner let me go to only ca. 100 to 120 MHz below core speed (exact number depended on core speed), below that the display would show the stock 1250 MHz again. Still I got no temperature drop to speak of... and I've seen other people talk about underclocking to 300 MHz or even to 159 MHz.
So... how do I find out how low I can actually go? Or does anybody around here know how low you can clock a 6990? My System: Windows 7 SP1 64-bit (fairly fresh installation but with all Windows Updates applied), Core2Quad 2.83 GHz, one HD 6990, Catalyst 11.6, Phoenix miner (SVN version 103) running from source on 64-bit Python 2.7.2.

On the 6990 there is of course only one fan for the two GPUs. So for the second GPU clocktweak -r will display "FAN: N.A" and then break the line at that point which looks ugly since the line for the first GPU is not broken after "Fan: <some number>". I'd suggest changing that to "Fan: N/A" and no line break.

It would also be interesting to have it exit with unique errorlevels if the gpu load drops for too long (e.g. --> restart phoenix) or if temperature would rise above a maximum level (--> shut down).

Code: @Echo OFF i'd like to add the -c value as a variable and have that variable set to different speeds based on temperature. so if it hits a threshold, say 80C it would clock down by 30mhz or so. and then when it gets back to a reasonable range, crank it back up. i just hate doing all the for %%i TOKENS crap you gotta do to parse output.

Also you might want to try to get rid of the autostarting ccc process (e.g. with spybot) maybe that is resetting the clock for some weird reason. if you run clocktweak in a loop make sure there are no other programs running that access the gfx drivers! Especially with 10.x drivers things will probably get unstable. It was really cool to have: 1.) a sweetspot finder 2.) artefact and temperature limited overclocking control = permanent optimization I thought about these functions quite a bit but it would take a lot of time to implement. Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: hawks5999 on June 23, 2011, 04:10:32 PM yeah, ccc has been out of autostart.
I was having problems with MSI AB on this particular rig and overheat was surely part of the problem as well. Now MSI AB just won't start on this particular rig so I'm using CT. And happy with it. I'll probably do some messing around with the batch file to make it adjust for temps. No idea if I'll have the patience to get it working.

There is a problem with my HD 5870 V2 and I hope you guys wil help me. I have 4 cards in a rig 3xGiabyte 5870 and one HD 5870 V2. Generally I run them 3x960\365 and 990\365\1.3v and set those parameters via clocktweak. Everything runs fine BUT then something happens and the fan of HD 5870 V2 suddenly lowers rpm to ~700 though in AB its shown that it is 100%. Clocktweak shows that it is only 15% of its max speed. Afetr this I can not tweak the card via clocktweak. It says me ERROR: write_values: xxxxxxxxxx whatever I do. But I can tweak a card via AB for example though fan still spins at ~700 rpm while displayed as 100% in AB. All the cards are crossfired. How to overcome this whatever it is?

One of Gigabyte cards now. Fan spins at ~1500 rpm while max is ~3500. WTF is happening... Help please. Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: hawks5999 on June 27, 2011, 05:17:04 AM are you running clocktweak and AB at the same time?

I am quite certain that in some cases slightly lower clockrate increased temperature on my system and that lower core clockrate sometimes results in higher hashrate.

I have only experienced something like you describe (fan going slow even when set to 100%, sometimes working again) with a broken fan (probably it was not the bearing but something else). watch your temperatures, if the fan stops or goes that slow you can blow your card!

Tried all the combinations even removing the blue wire as advised above but did not succeed in the end! RIP! Tomorrow will give it back by warranty terms. By the way! Something may have happend suddenly 'cause I started to have problems today in the morning and now its evening in my country and I have 3x5870 which refuse to work properly though everything was fine yesterday! One is EAH5870 V2 which has 700rpm fan problem. And two GV-R587 one of which boots up till "Startnig Windows" and then I can hear welcome sound bit the picture hangs on "Startnig Windows" screen! The other just makes my PC hang on boot! Now my rig mines with a single GV-R587 which I hope will live long life... A bad day I have today((( Are there any opinions on what may have happened to them?

Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: Lexiko on July 01, 2011, 02:42:35 PM What about automatic core clock control ?
For example I setting up max and min core temperatures, and clocktweak keeps core clock in this margins. This no need drivers, services, just simple schedule cron task . Something like this will be added to every minute windows cron task: coreclock -c auto -tmin 70 -tmax 80 -tstep 10 -m 300 -temerg 100 -emergtask "taskkill phoenix.exe" After task run it will check is the temperature below -tmin (70), if yes, then it will increase core clock on -tstep (10) , if temp above -tmax (80) then it will decrease clock. Also it can be emergency mode, f.e. if temp above -temerg (100) cels, is will runs -emergtask (can finish miners/shutdown, send sms/email/tweet/jabber/icq ...). P.S. I make simple XML output with .bat script. You can easy convert it into json format. Code: echo off output will be correct xml code: Code: <xml> Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: mike85123 on July 01, 2011, 03:26:51 PM Wouldn't mind trying this out, but the buy/download link is broked.

Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: truvativ on July 05, 2011, 10:41:32 PM Hey Phelix. Great little tool you have going on here. i purchased it seeing as how promissing it looks but the only problem is it does not seem to want to work on Windows Server 2008.
hell i had a hard enough time just getting drivers and CCC to install in the first place so it does not suprise me. i can manually underclock my mem using MSI AB but i have to close and re-open it to go below 625MHz and this is a (normally) headless server and i can't be doing that after i plug it in it's usual place. so that's why i wanted to give your tool a try. Basically using your tool i can clearly read the proper devices, i can even change the fan speed. but as soon as i try and change the core or voltage it gives me ERROR: write_values: core speed 960 could not be set (1): False replace core speed with voltage and i get the same error. mem clocks are odd. if mem clocks alone would work with this i'd use it no problem but if i tell it to change mem clocks it THINKS it changes them. it "looks" like it works. but when i check with GPUz or even just look at my MH/s it obviouslly does not do anything. here are my specs: Windows server 2008 x64 SP1 Catalyst Control Center 11.6 ATI Display driver 11.4 (that's right. i have to install the display driver via device manager and then install CCC 11.6 without the 11.6 display driver to get ANYTHING at all to work in the first place) running 2 reference MSI 6950 2GB cards fashed to unlock the shaders. P.S if i got the general idea right, if i'm the first to post with a specific configuration (in my case windows server) i am entitled to a refund right? well if so please send me my .2 BTC to 17mycqd2fA8F7MwmMziayt7ipCf224Vjc3 If you can help me solve my problem i will send it back to you :D Thanks, and keep up the awesome work. -Truvativ Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: Lexiko on July 06, 2011, 04:45:40 PM truvativ, clocktweak work's great on my Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (5770x2 cards).

It something with your settings or card drivers. hmm. how easy was yours to set up? because i spent two days trying to find drivers that would install and remain stable. 11.6 seemed to install without a problem but the clocks on my 6950 would fluctuate constantly giving me low hashrates and i read online that i'm not the only person with this problem and the solution was to revert to 11.4 drivers. that solved my issue but my windows server wouldn't even show me the 11.4 CCC and display drivers as options to install when using catalyst install manager so i had to install the display driver manually using device manager and install CCC from the 11.6 package. oh i should mention when i tried 11.6 (driver and CCC) with a 6870 in my machine everything worked without a problem. (minus clocktweak, tried the 6870 before purchasing clocktweak) i'm sure clocktweak works for some people. just does not seem to work with my setup (winserver2008 and shader unlocked 6950x2) but if you have any ideas. please let me know. thanks.

Try to use any other clock tweaker f.e. saphiretrixx or msiafterburn (with overcloking options), if they won't work, you will need to flash your card bios (only do it if u know what a u doing).

Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on July 08, 2011, 08:48:57 AM Hey Phelix. Great little tool you have going on here. i purchased it seeing as how promissing it looks but the only problem is it does not seem to want to work on Windows Server 2008. core clock / voltage: probably the bios limits youhell i had a hard enough time just getting drivers and CCC to install in the first place so it does not suprise me. i can manually underclock my mem using MSI AB but i have to close and re-open it to go below 625MHz and this is a (normally) headless server and i can't be doing that after i plug it in it's usual place. so that's why i wanted to give your tool a try. Basically using your tool i can clearly read the proper devices, i can even change the fan speed. but as soon as i try and change the core or voltage it gives me ERROR: write_values: core speed 960 could not be set (1): False replace core speed with voltage and i get the same error. mem clocks are odd. if mem clocks alone would work with this i'd use it no problem but if i tell it to change mem clocks it THINKS it changes them. it "looks" like it works. but when i check with GPUz or even just look at my MH/s it obviouslly does not do anything. here are my specs: Windows server 2008 x64 SP1 Catalyst Control Center 11.6 ATI Display driver 11.4 (that's right. i have to install the display driver via device manager and then install CCC 11.6 without the 11.6 display driver to get ANYTHING at all to work in the first place) running 2 reference MSI 6950 2GB cards fashed to unlock the shaders. P.S if i got the general idea right, if i'm the first to post with a specific configuration (in my case windows server) i am entitled to a refund right? well if so please send me my .2 BTC to 17mycqd2fA8F7MwmMziayt7ipCf224Vjc3 If you can help me solve my problem i will send it back to you :D Thanks, and keep up the awesome work. -Truvativ mem clock: this is very odd. are you sure you are looking at the same card? the order may be different in GPUz or in your mining software Lexiko was first with the Windows Server 2008 system, though I missed it. Corrected and PMed him. anyway I send you the refund. every time I send bitcoins arround the world I am happy that it is possible :D Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on July 08, 2011, 08:57:55 AM teukon pointed out to me that on linux catalyst drivers version 11.6 are not limited by the bios in overlocking. Can anyone acknowledge that for windows?

Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: mike85123 on July 11, 2011, 10:48:23 PM it is normal for the speeds to jump if you start mining - the card is switching from lazy powersafing 2d mode to hard work 3d mode. the problem is that the high values should stay to what you put them.

ClockTweak is working fine with a four card setup, I have four cards myself and lots of other people have confirmed it. Still there seems to be something weird going on with your system. Please do this to help me debug: Reboot your system do not start any miners yet run "clocktweak -r -l" run with your parameters: "clocktweak.exe -a all -c1000 -m300 -v1000 -s95 -y" run "clocktweak -r -l" start your miners on two cards run "clocktweak -r -l" post all the outputs here in a code tag as before. other things you can try: with cards in idle and all cooled down set fan speeds of single cards high to determine adapter# for each physical card. also take a look at gpu-z so you know the order in gpu-z. you may want to write it down (I did =) ). start a single miner on a single card and check with clocktweak / gpu-z which cards gets hot to determine gpu/adapter# for your mining software. with the miners running change clock / mem speeds of single cards and check if hashrates change.

v0.8.0b displays a wrong coreL0 clock speed (coreL2 instead) still it is kinda awkward that your memL0 and memL2 speed are both at 300. that should not be possible.

I am still a bit sceptical about the sweet spot / clock vs hashrate linearity issue. I hope to find time to build a sweet spot scanner soon. Maybe there is another way to throttle the gpu - e.g. by slowing down a cpu core by issuing HLT commands or by somehow slowing down the gpu (powertune is perfect but only available on 6xxx cards).

Voilá there you go. Take the next lower voltage setting and start tweaking - big fun! Jabba I think it is possible to see the voltage states with ati tray tools, too. Would be nice to be able to read these using clocktweak.......... Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on July 13, 2011, 03:03:24 PM So now that you've got JSON implemented, I think I'll start work on some monitoring software based on clocktweak :) I bashed something together for myself but it's very hackish, nothing trapped for or commented, messy code and bashed together in the quickest language I knew (Classic ASP). It's up at http://codinginmysleep.com/miners/ for critique. Pretty basic interface, color-coded HUD at the top for each miner and the simple clocktweak -r -n output below. Not pretty but it functions. Would anyone be interested in something of this nature? Classic ASP? Python rulez! I like the color coding. p.s. could it be that some of your cards are a little lazy? Mine have to work hard at 99% load all the time. Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on July 13, 2011, 03:05:42 PM Yeah I didn't *need* JSON but it sure makes things easier to have it :) also safer.

Shipped with 1.1v, GPU ist 840, memory downclocked to 800. Would LOVE to set the voltage a little lower. Anyone? please post the output of -r -l which driver version do you use? clocktweak output: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v450/2weiX/clocktweak-1.jpg driver version 8.850.0.0 (4/19/2011) catalyst 11.6 you can do as Jabba suggested and use RBE to find out your valid Voltage levels. Probably the next lower level is 1000mV. If you try to set that clocktweak will happily accept it but nothing happens? I have an Idea of what happens. Unfortunately it will probably not work on your system with the current clocktweak strategy. Maybe I have to rewrite the voltage setting part a little. Are you aware that you will 99% not be able to run 840Mhz at a lower voltage level? Did you set your level1 memclocks (699 / 799) manually?

reagrding the throttling of the GPU there's a much easier solution available. I remember that there's a switch for the miners like your -v -w128 switch which tells the GPU to slow down. I just cannot find the thread where it was discussed. By adding this switch to a command center (that's where all your efforts and ideas lead to) handling would be improved a lot. BTW: ever thought of managing all mining rigs and their cards from a single console?

Which can also be done via commandline - so this should be no big issue.

There are three sets of clock speeds: Level0: 2D Level1: intermediate - limits? Level2: 3D The levels can not be the same, there has to be a gap of ~10Mhz or so. Level 1 has to be in between level 0 and level 2. With -r -l you can read out all clock speed levels. Depending on these you can determine mem clock values to try. Level0 may or may not be the lower limit. You could try with these hidden options if your mem clock speed level 1 is higher than your desired mem clock speed level 2: -y -a all -m 200 -memlevel0 (only necessary if memlevel0 clock it is lower than your desired memlevel2 clock) raise the value if you get an error (Bios limit!) -y -a all -m 302 -memlevel1 has to be above level0 and below the level2 clock speed you want to set -y -a all -m 330 changes level2 (= default target) I hope it helps.

i could also try to boot linuxcoin and see if it shows me values for gpu/mem clock. I have a KVM-IP-Switch connected to the first card, could that be a problem? Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: titbb on August 31, 2011, 06:25:30 PM Woot!
Finally out of those damned newbie grounds! Ok, here goes, first off, i love your program, small but very effective, im using it in a batch file, together with cgminer. I first run your program 3 times to set clocks for my cards (best overview for me) and when that is done i run cgminer. However, i changed it lately to 'reset' to default when i exit cgminer, since i keep forgetting too. I noticed that there wasn't a 'reset' option to revert to stock. I saw something about hidden options, but i don't think thats what im looking for. I would like to revert the card to 'stock' including fanspeed. It's being set back using the clock commands, but as you know thats not for the fanspeeds, which have to be set with a fixed number. Anyway to come around this? Also, im using the temp high arg. It says it gives an errorlevel 11 when the temp is above the set value. I am however curious if that also works if you just run clocktweak or does it have to be persistantly active for this to work? The reason im asking is, that i want (if any) it to move to the failure settings in the batch, in which i downclock the cards to avoid damage. Also would like to point out that ive successfully clocked my cards over the bios limit in the 11.8 ati drivers. Fanspeed also seems to work nicely on my 5770 card. Cheers! Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on August 31, 2011, 07:12:22 PM I'm running: 6950's at 950/300 @ 1175 mV. 5870's at 920/600 @ 1125 mV. This seems to contradict your note about not being able to exceed the CCC limits. I assume the settings above are beyond the CCC limit, no? Anyway, very happy with your tool. ^5 nice. it seems works with some cards and some of the latest driver versions. what driver version do you use? still, I leave the note there until there is more information about this so I have less trouble with refunds ;) Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on August 31, 2011, 07:18:04 PM i bought your program, but all i get when i try the -r parameter is: [...] i have 4x5850 cards with dummy plugs, what could be the reason for this behaviour? catalyst 10.7 as jabba pointed out it could be an outdated driver. I never tried it on anything lower than 10.12. even if you can solve this problem I would update the driver version to either 10.12 (quite fast and rather stable with sdk 2.1) or one of the latest 11.x drivers (sdk 2.4 or 2.5, I am not sure how well sdk 2.5 is supported yet).

Cheers! the reset procedure is a pain because I have not yet automated it. 0.) preparation: after a reboot read out your level0, level1 and level2 core and mem clock speeds and voltages with "-r -l" 1.) with the option "-s auto" you can set the fan speed to automatic (default). 2.) use "-r -l" to determine which values you have to change back 3.) with miners off set everything back to default manually by using clocklevel0 clocklevel1 memlevel0 memlevel1 voltlevel0 and voltlevel1 each separately. the order matters, the value for each level has to increase all the time. the exit with errorlevel does only work from the observe mode. it might be possible to set the time horizon really short and set a very high lower temperature limit (or very high load limit) so you get either errorlevel 11 (above high limit) or 10 (12) and have the program exit quickly. Maybe I will add an exit after one cycle option to the next version. earlier in this thread someone posted a sophisticated batch file that can process clocktweak output to determine the limit/errorlevel. also I think there already exists a project based on clocktweak that does what you intend... look at the earlier posts.

I had the batch start another batc file, in which i set what to do when the errorlevel hits. For testing i used 60C, and it started the next command nicely! All my 5830/ 5770/ 6850/ 6950 work perfectly, 11.8 ATI, outside bios bounds! Thanks for making such a great app! Well worth the .2 BTC!

couple of people from our pool http://www.rfcpool.com have the same problem. Fan speeds are reported incorrectly. Maybe @phelix has an answer or fix or solution. Its fixed @ 85 for me, so its not that big of a problem, but still annoying its incorrect.

in fact the discrepancy you see is because of the way the reported rpms are calculated. the program reads the actual rpm from the fan speed sensor and divides by the theoretical maximum rpm of the fan. if the fan is blocked or gets older and also because of all kinds of tolerances the reported speed is not exactly the same as the speed you set. it has been discussed somewhere before I think. I will add it to the FAQ. edit--------------: Q: Why is the reported fan speed different from the speed I set? A: The reported fan speed is the measured rpm in proportion to the theoretical maximum rpm. A difference of 20% or so is still normal. If the air stream is blocked or the fan is broken the reported fan speed will decrease. this is netxshare's smart design for pyADL. the big advantage is that you have a chance to notice a blocked/broken fan.

What is the model number and manufacturer of your 5770 card? A special model might be worth the replacement given the maintenance and automation headache I deal with now. why don't you leave the fan at default speed? I will try to work something out for the next release. do you see the fan rpm reported in other programs for the x770? I think it does not read out fan speeds or the drivers do not tell the program that is why it bails out. Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: MegaBux on September 01, 2011, 10:01:47 PM why don't you leave the fan at default speed? I will try to work something out for the next release. do you see the fan rpm reported in other programs for the x770? I think it does not read out fan speeds or the drivers do not tell the program that is why it bails out. I really don't need to change the fan speed since I'm generally running at 100% all the time (one card runs at 50% though since it is well ventilated). However, being able to collect the fan speed will allow me to write a script that will let me auto-tweek the speed based on temperature, if needed. Currently, I am using MSI Afterburner to monitor fan speed. This program, along with the ATI Catalyst program both report the speed as a percentage so there must be some API in place to retrieve this data; maybe I can pop a question to the RivaTuner author and ask which API he uses for this purpose. Since I am not using the ATI program actively, my default fan control is in fact whatever MSI Afterburner chooses to do. My goal is to ultimately use your tool without relying on MSI Afterburner to monitor and report fan speeds (if possible).

Wattmeter might also help. so don't want to mess with it. this weekend i'll take a look. i do have a wattmeter.. however the wattage jumps around a bit with 5 cards so not sure how it will help. I have a quad 120mm rad for the 6990 and i want to figure out how many fans i can shut down before my temps rise to much anyways. OK i was wrong.. I admit it. GPUz does show my memory speeds at full speed 1250mhz that sux.

I may try playing with my bios this weekend and will let you guys know how it goes. Unfortunately I've also read that booting into Windows is impossible if you lower the clocks on a 6990 too much... I may try just changing the high profile settings in the bios and see if I can still load Windows.

I tried the following settings on performance level 3 for master and slave in the bios: 960/330 900/625 Another bit of bad news, it appears the issue exists with 6970s as well. Anything over 125mhz below core and the mem clock is back to default. The temperature diff was a little more subtle but my 6970 was running at 79 degrees with 900/300 core to mem and 76 degrees at 900/775. "ATI Tray Tools" appears to be the only tool that can actually lower my 6970 past the 125mhz barrier. My 6970 runs at around 72 degrees celcius when clocked at 960/330 through ATITT.

Weird it took that long. Even @ 1 confirm it was still not allowing the download. Maybe a suggestion to pass on to the site owner's.

Yes, full speed - my power supply is the limit. Otherwise I would go far higher. But only for those rigs where I don't pay for electricity. The one I'm running at home comes close to 2,5 MH/W. Anyway the current behaviour of our banks lead me to the conclusion that something needs to be changed. And this can be done by Bitcoins. Otherwise I haven't seen / didn't get the correlation between the downfall of Dow Jones and the poor Bitcoin exchange rate. It should be the other way round.

Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on January 21, 2012, 09:32:10 AM Just bought the tool, and it didn't done the job. I have 3x6990 in first box, and 2x6950 flashed to 6970 in the second. I have power-meters on both boxes. When I set clocks via ClockTweak it says that it's all ok, and with -o it reports clocks and VOLTAGE which I've requested. But system power consumption is way higher (30% higher to be precise, 1050W vs 700W), than when I set up clocks using legacy MSI Afterburner. I carefully monitored power consumption - and it does not change at all, when I change videocard voltage to any value. Same behavior for both boxes. OS - Windows 7. Command line: clocktweak.exe -c 700 -m 234 -v 925 -a all -y PS. Needless to say that I almost lost my mining block due to this. 3x6990 on stock voltage draws more than 1000W PSU can give. So for 5 minutes PSU was working quite over-spec. I added some more warnings to the initial post. Good thing you were watching your system. please pm me a -x after you set the clocks like above. what is the manufacturer of your cards? what is your driver version? the posts from crazyblane and madhacker above describe the same problem. still trying to narrow this down. anyway send me your bitcoin address for a refund if you do not want to use it any more.

You probably are running into the bios limit. Please see the first post for some info. Maybe you could lower the mem clock further by flashing the bios (be careful might brick your card). You could try to set different values for the different cards and see how low you can go. Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: chiropteran on April 03, 2012, 05:23:35 PM First, let me preface this- I love the utility, even with the problems I am reporting below it is still completely worth the price.
That said, I have a minor problem with two separate cards. One is I believe a reference 6970, VisionTek 900353. ClockTweak functions great except it cannot seem to change the voltage. It reports the change and appears to be changing the voltage, but checking the card voltage through GPU-Z or other means shows the voltage isn't actually changing. This is with cat 12.3 on Windows 7 64bit I can change the voltage fine using MSI Afterburner's latest beta. It would be more convinient to do everything with ClockTweak. Second issue is my SAPPHIRE 11197-01-40G model 7970. This card doesn't show up correctly in ClockTweak and no commands seem to function. This is with cat 12.2 on Windows 7 64. Again I have resorted to using MSI afterburner, which works fine but isn't nearly as convenient as ClockTweak.

I get this: Code: C:\mining\clocktweak>clocktweak -r That's running "as administrator". It works fine on my windows 7x64 box, but that's not where I need it, of course. Help? it really should not say that. ::) seems like a problem of the 32bit emulation. do you have python installed on that system? Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool Post by: phelix on May 21, 2012, 09:58:45 AM it would be interesting if somebody successfully (checked with wattmeter/temperature) using afterburner to reduce the mem clock to a low value on a 7970 could post the -x results here or send me a pm.

Doesn't mean it's not lurking somewhere, put there by something else though.

Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool - NOW FREE! Post by: phelix on May 27, 2012, 07:18:37 AM I do not have the time to improve ClockTweak to work well for all the 6xxx and 7xxx cards and their driver problems and to provide proper support for them.
In consequence ClockTweak can now be downloaded for free. Enjoy! Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool - NOW FREE!

Alternately, would you entertain the notion of updating the code on a work-for-hire if I paid you in BTC ? Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool - NOW FREE!

Quote Alternately, would you entertain the notion of updating the code on a work-for-hire if I paid you in BTC ? depends on the amount ;Dseriously, I think I put this the wrong way: if I knew how to do it I would. if anybody can figure out and tell me how afterburner does I will give it a shot. again: there is a slight chance it would help to get a look at a clocktweak -x print of a system with a 7970 right after a reboot and after a wattmeter confirmed memory underclock to 300mhz or something deep like that. (unfortunately I do not have a 7970) Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool - NOW FREE!

Post by: Nemo1024 on March 05, 2013, 08:23:30 PM I have a bug report for a problem on multi-card setup:

Interestingly, AMD's own tool (http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/1128/AMD_GPU_Clock_Tool_v0.9.8.html) also fails. The only program that I was able to use to overclock the AMD cards in this set-up, is Saphire Trixx (http://www.sapphiretech.com/ssc/TriXX/) I am really interested in a command-line tool as I am writing my own light-weight front-end (Bitcoin Miners in Tray (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=149442.0)), that would overclock, run a selection of miners and then minimise itself to tray, capturing all stdout output. Title: Re: = ClockTweak = win32 command line clock/voltage tweaking tool - NOW FREE! Post by: phelix on March 15, 2013, 07:01:54 AM Sorry, I do not have a mining rig any more. Will try to find the time/motivation to release the source.
edit: took it down as it is does not seem to work with the latest drivers / cards and today's mining software has these things integrated |
