why are you changing core speed and voltage in profiles 0 and 1?? this is probably why it's unstable.

...Isn't that what you are suppose to do? I don't really understand how the profiles work... Embarrassed

And would that affect the voltage problems?

Go back and re-read page 24.

Read it three times now. I'm assuming the point of the profiles is to downclock or rest while no work is being done?
So would something like this work?

Code:

gpu0:


  disabled: 0

  core_speed_2: 970
  
  mem_speed_0: 300
  mem_speed_1: 300
  mem_speed_2: 300

  core_voltage_2: 1.195
  
  fan_speed: 70

  kernel: phatk2

  kernel_params: BFI_INT VECTORS WORKSIZE=256 FASTLOOP=false AGGRESSION=14

Yeah, that looks good to me. Aggression 14 does seem a bit high, tho.

Changed Aggression on both cards from 14 to 11. Still not working. Voltage is still stuck at 1.163

overvolting in linux is more limited than windows. probably just cannot be done.

however, by using correct settings you will probably find it isn't necessary.

11 is a reasonable aggression. 14 is pretty crazy. plus you were messing with profiles 0 and 1.
I think you have much more stability now, without needing to screw around the voltage.

Oh yeah. aticonfig will only overvolt so far in Linux. 1.163 is the max written in the card's BIOS and so it won't ever go higher than that (in Linux). If you want to go higher (not sure you actually need to), then you need to flash the GPU which is a bit more work.

Some long term miners are actually undervolting now. Getting a few more MH/s isn't usually worth the decreased life of your card from heat.

I seem to be having a problem adjusting the voltage on my 5830s. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me. It seems that I can't go past 970 withing BAMT locking up after a few days. So I wanted to increase the voltage to raise the core clock a bit. However, BAMT just ignores any voltage increases after v1.163

If I edit the bamt.conf to a lower volt like 1.15 (anything below 1.163 really), it will show up in the Web Dashboard with it's new changes. But it I edit the voltage to anything higher then 1.163, it still shows up in the Web Dashboard as 1.163.

Code:

gpu0:

  # remove disabled: or set it to 0 to actually use this card..

  disabled: 0

  core_speed_0: 970
  core_speed_1: 970
  core_speed_2: 970

Is there a way to do auto fan while using phoenix? Or is that only for cgminer?

I wrote an autofan for phoenix, but after killing 2 GPU fans in testing I've decided its not good for your fans to be changing speed a lot. Better to leave them alone.

..I know every card is different, but I'd like to hear what you guys run for core, mem, voltage, fan.

I have two 5830s, Sapphire and XFX. Both are setup like this, and seems stable so far (still tweaking a few things):
Core/Mem=1000/300
Voltage=1.173
Fan=70%
Kernal=phatk2

Both cards pull around 325Mhash/s each, and linger around 59-63'C. Oddly though, the monitor via browser (forget what it's called) says my voltage is still at 1.163 volts.

Exactly what I was hoping for, thanks!

100% cpu use is pretty common when the GPU fails due to overclocking.
I have two 5830s running very stable with:

core_speed_2: 980
mem_speed_0: 300
mem_speed_1: 300
mem_speed_2: 300

stable as in many months w/o a a single hiccup. if yours won't do 980, back off 5 at a time, it won't be too far less.

That's exactly what I need, thanks!
Do you have to uncomment all 3 mem clock lines or just profile 2?
What voltage?

do exactly what I put. nothing more. nothing less.

Okay, quick update.
My card wasn't stable at 980Mhz. (big surprise, right?)
It locked up BAMT and I had to hard reset the machine.
Also, I'm noticing high CPU usage (near 100%) when it locks up like that.
What settings are you guys using on a single 5830?
I need to get at least 300Mh/s to be worth running, anything over that is gravy.

I get 318-319 at 980mhz with phoenix2

how do i run phoenix 2? phoenix2: 1 in bamt.conf then configure phoenix2.conf file and it won't run

i have a doubts with the [cl:0:0] things for each device, should i keep going like [c:0:x] or [c:x:0]?

phoenix2: 1

in settings, and in each gpu section for the gpu(s) you want to use w/ p2

the correct identifiers to use in phoenix 2's config for your GPUs just depend.
for mine, they exactly matched the same id # used everywhere else on 0, like

[cl:0:0] == gpu 0
[cl:0:1] == gpu 1

etc...
