Hello,
I'm attempting to overclock my 5830 but it refuses to go over 900mhz
Attempting to interactively change I get the message below:
Temp: 74.5 C Fan Speed: 46% (2196 RPM) Engine Clock: 900 MHz Memory Clock: 300 Mhz Vddc: 0.983 V Activity: 99% Powertune: 0% Fan autotune is enabled (0-100) GPU engine clock autotune is enabled (800-960) Change [A]utomatic [E]ngine [F]an [M]emory [V]oltage [P]owertune Or press any other key to continue Enter GPU engine clock speed (80 - 900 Mhz): 960 Value is outside safe range, are you sure? Failed to modify engine clock speed
My config file:
"intensity" : "8", "gpu-engine" : "960", "gpu-fan" : "0-100", "gpu-memclock" : "300", "gpu-powertune" : "20", "temp-cutoff" : "95", "temp-overheat" : "85", "temp-target" : "75", "auto-fan" : true, "auto-gpu" : true, "expiry" : "120", "failover-only" : true, "gpu-threads" : "2", "log" : "5", "queue" : "1", "scan-time" : "60", "temp-hysteresis" : "3",

Few questions:
What OS? What diver/SDk? What version of CGMiner?

"gpu-powertune" : "20",
Isn't the powertune only for 6990's? Did you try posting in the CGMiner thread? Also I didn't see your Catalyst version in you later post. Sam

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

I have no problems overclocking my 5830 to 960Mhz. 300+ Mhs isn't bad. Sam

Not all cards are the same.. I have 4 identical 5830's and none of them will overclock past 930... voltage is locked ....... each stock voltage is 1.163 but one card is 1.125...... ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) Sapphire Xtreme cards

Does the card hang when you OC past 900, or will the ADL just not go farther than 900? Might be a BIOS limitation.

According to CGMiner my voltage is at 1.163 volts as well and it is a Sapphire Xtreme as well. But I do run it at 960Mhz. I used to run it at 970 but the new CGMiner seems to run the cards harder so I backed it down to 960 because I was starting to get HW errors. Wish I had 4 of them ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) . Sam

My guess is that it is a bios limitation.. I was thinking of possibly flashing the bios to allow me to overclock with some voltage tweaks...

Just says "failed to modify" Any way to flash the bios using Linux?

aticonfig --list-adapter
aticonfig --od-enable enables overclocking thru aticonfig
aticonfig -help is very usuful
