Topic: Can't overclock in BAMT (Inconsistent on line 91) [Solved] (Read 2645 times)

RING RING RING WE HAVE A WINNER!!!

Spacing was the problem and stopped bamt from giving me the error!
Afterwards though the overclock just wouldn't apply.

BUT with the help of this post

I deleted a file that kept the card from overclock located in
Code:
/live/image/BAMT/CONTROL/ACTIVE

Whenever a card overheats, crashes, ect. BAMT automatically places a 'NoOCGPU' file and you need to delete it to continue overlocking

My rig is now finally headless! Thanks to serp and BookLover for the help!

@serp
Your spacing is off.
Spacing matters a lot in the file.

Make sure you only have 2 spaces at the beginning of each line when you uncomment them.

I deleted the old bamt.conf file and replaced it with the default. Now I'm back to it telling me I have an inconsistent. I've been reading up on another post on the forum where someone had kind of a simliar problem

Do you think I may be clocking the card to high/low? I'm currently running the card at 880 clock and 300 mem through AMDOverdriveCTRL

Alas is doesn't work, now when I try to take away the '#' it wont let me start up the miners or even start gpumon. When I start gpumon from the start menu or 'start miners', 'restart miners' ect. It just closes out of the terminal immediately.

Here's what my file looks like currently running my miners, Like I stated befpre if I take the '#' out in any order it won't let me start up the miners or do anything with them. Before however it would let me start the miners the overclock just wouldn't take effect.

Code:
# Big A Miner Thing configuration
# /etc/bamt/bamt.conf
#
# 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
# at /opt/bamt/examples/bamt.conf
#
# Note: This is a YAML file.  Indentation is significant.
#
# If you break things badly, a backup of this file in it's original
# form can be found at /opt/bamt/examples/bamt.conf.simple

Try placing # in front off ALL of your posted text and then add this:
Code:
core_speed: 650

mem_speed: 300
This code will set the core speed and memory clock that are used while mining.  However, it will leave the other default values alone. This will create a more stable system.

If this works please let me know. Wink

Running a 5970 on BAMT. Can't get it to overclock at all on the bamt.conf file  Lips sealed. However I can get it to overclock with AMDOverdriveCtrl.
I set all the speeds like so for both clocks
Code:
  core_speed_0: 157
   core_speed_1: 550
   core_speed_2: 890

   mem_speed_0: 300
   mem_speed_1: 300
   mem_speed_2: 300

   core_voltage_0: .950
   core_voltage_1: 1.038
   core_voltage_2: 1.050

yet it gives me and error when I try to start the miners saying I have an inconsistent error or something on line 91 which is "core_speed_0: 157"
If I add an "#" at line 91 it tell me I've got an inconsistent on line 92 now and so on.

Am I missing something?

Also any tips on overclock this card or overclocking in general would be helpful as well!
