Title: 2x6970 rig runs extremely loud and hot Post by: lessPlastic on July 01, 2011, 02:54:11 AM I have a dual 6970 rig that I just got. It runs incredibly loud and very hot, able to heat up a whole room very easily. Is there a way I could step down the fan speeds so it doesn't sound like a WWII-era fighter plane?
I'm on Ubuntu by the way. Title: Re: 2x6970 rig runs extremely loud and hot Post by: dunand on July 01, 2011, 03:00:56 AM Try this :
to get fan speed for card 0 export DISPLAY=:0.0; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" to get fan speed for card 1 export DISPLAY=:0.1; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" to set fan speed for card 0 to 50% export DISPLAY=:0.0; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 50" Title: Re: 2x6970 rig runs extremely loud and hot Post by: lessPlastic on July 01, 2011, 03:13:59 AM Try this : to get fan speed for card 0 export DISPLAY=:0.0; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" to get fan speed for card 1 export DISPLAY=:0.1; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" to set fan speed for card 0 to 50% export DISPLAY=:0.0; aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 50" aticonfig claims that I changed the fan speed, but it is still the same loudness. And I don't believe any other fans are to blame. Also, the old fan speed appears again after a restart.

And I can ear and see the difference in cooling with odgt.
