When I try to overclock through the config file and delete the comment symbol nothing works. GPUmon just auto closes the moment i open it so does everything else.

I'm pretty sure my clocks are set correctly 

So for example on my 5870:

  # core_speed_0: 300
  # core_speed_1: 800
  # core_speed_2: 900
  # mem_speed_0: 300
  # mem_speed_1: 300
  # mem_speed_2: 300
  # core_voltage_0: 1.125
  # core_voltage_1: 1.125
  # core_voltage_2: 1.125000


once I delete the # in front of the lines NOTHING works.
Even if i remove all other GPU's except 1 this problem still occurs.

I'm using a Gigabyte 990fxa-ud7 (7XGPUS) with the boot workaround mentioned here (in the second post) : http://www.bitcointrading.com/forum/index.php?topic=416.0

Bamt is booting correctly (But not always. Sometimes it fails to load x-server which is the GUI) and I'm beginning to wonder if despite the workaround to boot on the gigabyte board, It still has problems running linux from a usb... 

ANY HELP would be HUGELY appreciated THANX!!!

The main reason this is so important is because I want to lower the mem clocks so I can have lower temps and lower consumption

Out of curiosity since I haven't gotten a single reply yet.

Am I doing something wrong? Or am I following the correct procedure but no one can figure out what the problem is?

Try posting your whole BAMT.conf, and any other information you think would be useful.

Well Here it is!

# When done editing, restart mining to make changes here take effect
# If you're just setting up BAMT, be sure to edit pools as well.

# As of 0.5, many less common options have been removed from this
# default config to make it easier on the noobs.
#
# You will find a complete example with all options described

Also When I tried copy pasting What was in my conf file to a text file on windows and then copy pasting that text back into my conf file in BAMT from a usb storage the same thing happens: GPUmon auto closes like everything else. Which leads me to think this isn't simply a text file? Is there more than meets the eye?

I had the same problem with a conf file.  Just seem corrupt.  So, I just made a new one.

Do you really have 7 GPUs in the one machine?

And, did you try updating the BIOS?  It solved a similar issue I was having on an MSI mobo (even though the other 4 rigs (same mobos) didn't have the problem.

Try just using core_speed etc instead of core_speed_0 core_speed_1 core_speed_2.  You want to set core_speed to the clock you want to use while mining.  You can do this for memory and voltage too.  You may want to try a lower clock too, like 750.  I believe >900 is pretty high for a 5870.

I hope this helps,

hey katsaplias,

did you got a solution for your problem ?
removing # from bamt.conf can you now set the gpu values ?

regards
pazor
