AOCLBF (was Phoenix Rising): Phoenix/POCLBM GUI With Built-In Overclock Tool

[pandemic]

Could you include affinity options in the next release? I'm having issues with phoenix using 50% CPU per GPU. By setting affinity to cpu1 (of 2) it'll use 100% of that core rather than 100% of both.

Why would you want it to use 100% of both?

You realize the CPU usage is not a desired effect, which is why we have the affinity setting in the first place, to stack all the wasted CPU on a single core?

Affinity is in 1.74 & 1.75 already.

should probably re-read what I said.

I DO see affinity now. I don't know why I've never noticed it before. Thanks!

not sure if this has been covered before, but is there a way to disable the display output the runs on top of everything? either totally disable it, or have it run underneath every window

No. Also it seems developer out of home as he hasn't responded any one after the 1.75 release.
OSD running on top of every window is really annoying.

Impressive tool, will definitely recommend it to new miners

hmm maybe it would help if we gave him a small tip to have options for this OSD? i like this pheonix rising better than the GUIminer, but it's just hard to put up with for your everyday machine. on dedicated miners, it's no problem though.

Actually ive discovered a way to hide the osd. Simply set the box outside the viewing area of the screen. You can set it manually in the config file or set you screen to a higher like say  than usual resolution 1600x1200 then set the box in the outter most corner. When you resize the screen the OSD box will be there but beyond your view. I found it by accident moving my boxes around.

I've updated to Catalyst driver 11.7 (early version) and since I can't start 4 miners at the same time. The last miner is always not working..no matter which device I start last.

My two rigs were running for some days now, some minutes ago I got an error message "Error allocating memory" from AOC. Memory usage was 690MB. I had to kill and restart it. There is some kind of memory leak...

umm can u make it support cgminer??

[dewon]

As someone stated earlier, its not really a big thing to move your OSD boxes outside/edges of viewing area. Once youre done watching your daily show, you can move them back in seconds.

I can confirm this. If you have a lot of switching between standard and backup server then AOCLBF eats up a lot of memory and crashes finally.

Hi

im running this tool, and find it pretty good (my favourite so far, GUI or no GUI)

My only "issue" is that it does not remember fan settings, so i have to enable amd overdrive, and set fanspeeds with that.

If i set this to start on boot (putting its shortcur on the "startup" folder), it starts before AMD CCC, and sometimes hangs my pc.

If i start it from a script, wich i set to "sleep" for a few mminutes, so that everything else is loaded first, it never starts the miners. Both run and stop buttons remain greyed out. (if i manually start it from a script, with no sleep involved, it does the same thing, it wont work).

Any good ideas for starting this on boot, but only after everything else is set ?

thx

Please for the love of god allow this app to change fan speed automatically when starting up the app.

Hi, Selecting openCL device with one card is working fine for me on rigs with 1 card

However whilst it also works fine with 1.74 and 2 cards, with 1.75 and 2 cards the issue seems to be that no matter what number I define manually the second card is not seen.

For temp monitoring there are 3 options: 0,0 and 3. Selecting 3 for the temp monitoring clearly shows the second card temps

Incidentally, selecting the 1. cypress option for the first card then the 0 option manually for the second runs both on one card.

Is there a file I can edit to cure this?

EDIT: Using 11.8 drivers, win7 64U and rolling back to 11.7 drivers and 1.74 on this machine did not help.

To those who want to control fan speed, since the developer of AOCLBF not available, you can use Clocktweak.
https://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=9982.0
It is not free, but the 20 cents you give is 100% worth.
I bought this software 2 months back & when i tried that time it didn't work, so abandoned.
But a week before again tried with the old file i downloaded & the developer gives FREE upgrades.
The tool perfectly over clocks & under clocks & also control fan speed. Besides it has power tune option, so you don't even need to install CCC(which is crap).
Check out the link above & control fan.

It's been a while here, seems the developer is busy with his other projects. Anyway, just to contribute to the community, for Windows users, Sapphire Trixx has version 4.0.2 up and it can control fan speeds as well. You can now also OC the cards individually for multi-gpu configs.
