5970 temps, clocks and voltages

[cmg5461]

So, all you 5970 owners, what do you run your 5970's at?

I currently have one running at 775mhz @ 1.025v & 50% fan @ 65C

Trying to see how low I can go without boot looping myself

Post'em!

850/300 - stock V - 60C

[Mousepotato]

Day: 610MHz / 200MHz / 887mv / 64C
Night: 825MHz / 200MHz / 1050mv / 78C

[DeathAndTaxes]

780 to 835 w/ auto-gpu in cgminer.
150 Mhz memclock, stock voltage, 85% static fan.

Tends to hit a low (due to garage heating up) around 3pm or so and hit max clock in evening.

[someone703]

When browsing:
825/150 @ 1.05v

When sleeping (850 causes driver response problems when I'm browsing but completely stable if I'm not using the computer):
850/150 @ 1.05v

I keep fan at 50% and temps hover around 75-80C (case door off).

[The-Real-Link]

  Nearly all of mine:

  Stock volts in Afterburner.
  815 core (with one at 825).  The lone exception are the two in my main system.  Nearest cores to the fan are at 800 with cores getting the secondary heat at 450 (/cry).  
  Memory as low as AB allows (500mhz or so)
  Fans 70-75% usually, though closer to 80 in my main system (I didn't anticipate the airflow needed for twin 5970s, cooling-wise, whoops).
  Temps, low 70s in my main rig, 60-70C or so in my others (offsite now thankfully).
  
  Good fun...BIG cards!

some rigs at 800, some at 820, one at 810:

this one been going since the 4th (upgrade of cgminer on the 4th)

I like to run mine @ 38% fan, 675mhz and 0.95v when I sleep

[Olly_K]

850 @ 1.1v - ~400m/hash per gpu on CGMiner. Fan 100% temps 72

[Dyaheon]

Reference one in a rig, temps ~80-85C with 830/300 & 815/300 core clocks. Default Fan and voltage, ~40% and 1.05V.

Just got one with an accelero cooler, ~50-55C with 870/300 & 880/300 core clocks, although I'm not sure yet of long term stability, may need to lower them by 10MHz or so. Fan at 80% (still silent!), default voltage. Very nice card

[jjiimm_64]

fans at 100?  ...  do you have an extra cache of fans?

[Olly_K]

well, I'm having a hard time controlling the fan. It's an XFX model and I've updated the BIOS which does allow fan control but it's pretty hit and miss. MSI Afterburner and CCC and even CGMiner can control the fan by %, but whatever I set it to, GPU Z still shows the fan at 30% and RPM 4500.

I do have a spare stock cooler for it so if it dies I'll just replace the cooler.

Probably wont be buying another one and I'll just get a 7950

your going to replace a 5970 with a 7950?..  tell  you what, i will buy and a 7950 and trade you

[Olly_K]

no, i'll replace the 5970 with a 7950 if it ever fails

[BTC guy]

I have a few of the OEM/unbranded 5970s. Im not crazy about them. Some ran 800, others 820-850. Stock volts. 330 hash per core. Fans 55%. Temps 80. One of them stopped working completely. I wont buy OEM equipment any more. Asus or sapphire only.

[JL421]

2 cards with cores at 805 MHz, 3 cores at 1.012 V and one core at 1 V. Fans at 60% and temps at 70C and 57C.

[johnyj]

My 5970 never runs stable above 750MHz at stock voltage, now I even back to stock frequency of 725Mhz, the longest run is about 2 months, always below 65C

[drakahn]

860mhz core 300mhz mem - 1.075v - 71*C - ~100*C VDDC

i can do 900/300 at 1.125v but the VDDC temp hits 120 and resets voltage = crash, with some cooling i could do better.

[jjiimm_64]

I think the voltages will be the important part going forward to save energy costs... hoping to get some comments from the D&T 5970 expert:  how low do you think I can push down the V with mh above 700?

I have a few of these 4x5970 rigs, so I thought I would take the one in the warmest spot to lower the V and hashrate to see what Mh/J I could get.

I have 2 of them on killawatt meters.  

this one is at 725/300  0.99V   ~2.56  Mh/watt   (1032watts) will report back stability.  

edit:  damn 3rd card always runs hot.  ebay purchase.  arrrgggg

[Electricbees]

Mining @ 820/300, getting ~370Mhash per core. Stock volts.
For OEM cards, they stay pretty cool. 40% fan, core temps hover around 59-63 degrees...
