Can anyone explain to a new guy?

[gochk]

Running btc on Ubuntu 10.10 with 1 6970. From my Ubuntu Software Center, it looks like lm-sensors and libsensors4 installed.

I see 2 different temperatures but not sure which is what from the terminal. When I type sensors on the terminal, i get 26 C when it's mining. However, on another terminal with the code that executes when boot up, gnome-terminal -x watch -n 1 aticonfig --adapter=all --odgt --odgc the temp is 90 - 92 C.

I know sensors command is from lm-sensors. But where's the 2nd command coming from?
I am very concern my GPU will overheat and it'll be great if someone can tell me the difference in the 2 temp.

92C is really too high to mantain the 24/24h mining.
The aticonfig command is the ati command to check/change the settings of the videocard. Check your speed clock with

aticonfig --adapter=all --odgc

and try to downclock it if is overclocked with a new cpuspeed and memspeed

aticonfig --adapter=[number of your card 0 or 1] --setclock=cpuspeed,memspeed

you can set memory to 300-400MHz max

These are the results:

btc@test:~$ aticonfig --adapter=all --odgc



Adapter 0 - AMD Radeon HD 6900 Series

btc@test:~$ aticonfig --adapter=0 --setclock=800,400
aticonfig: unrecognized option '--setclock=800,400'
aticonfig: parsing the command-line failed.

set clock doesn't seem to work. But From the --odgc it looks like it's clocked to max?

Sorry, it's my fault:
the correct syntax is
aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-setclock=800,400

I forgot an "od"
