that command line black box or something open and close suddenly

That's standard behavior for for command line apps in windows.

Click start -> run and type "cmd" and press enter.
Then navigate to where you have the executable extracted. If you aren't familiar with how to navigate around the command line, you either need to learn, or put clocktweak some where you can find it easily, like c:\users\. That's where you start out by default from "Cmd".

The instructions for using clocktweak are here:

If you were looking for a point and click user interface, sorry, you have the wrong program.

buyed newest clock tweak and it not FUU***CKIN open Sad

i have win7 64bit. sorry that rage

It works for me on win7 64-bit.

Won't work on windows vista 64-bit.

It's command line.. so not sure what you mean "won't open".

I heart thebaron

If this utility will UNDERVOLT Reference HD7970's in the following environment, please PM me and I will purchase ASAP....

- Win7 x64
- CAT 12.3 Full Driver Package (and included SDK, version?)
- CGMiner 2.4.1 (no config file, launch using BAT files)
- Headless Miners, UltraVNC managed.
- HD7970 Reference Cards (by Gigabyte, but still Reference Cards)
- ClockTweak able to launch using BAT file.

Cheers,

Hi, I just tried this on vista 64, with all patches and updates applied. I get this:

Code:

C:\mining\clocktweak>clocktweak -r
===============================================================================
                ClockTweak v0.9.2b - bitcoinX.com/clocktweak/
===============================================================================

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "clocktweak.py", line 634, in 
  File "clocktweak.py", line 523, in name0x3c
  File "clocktweak.py", line 153, in name0x18
MemoryError

That's running "as administrator".

It works fine on my windows 7x64 box, but that's not where I need it, of course.

Help?

First, let me preface this- I love the utility, even with the problems I am reporting below it is still completely worth the price.

That said, I have a minor problem with two separate cards.

One is I believe a reference 6970, VisionTek 900353. ClockTweak functions great except it cannot seem to change the voltage. It reports the change and appears to be changing the voltage, but checking the card voltage through GPU-Z or other means shows the voltage isn't actually changing. This is with cat 12.3 on Windows 7 64bit

I can change the voltage fine using MSI Afterburner's latest beta. It would be more convinient to do everything with ClockTweak.

Second issue is my SAPPHIRE 11197-01-40G model 7970. This card doesn't show up correctly in ClockTweak and no commands seem to function. This is with cat 12.2 on Windows 7 64. Again I have resorted to using MSI afterburner, which works fine but isn't nearly as convenient as ClockTweak.

it is very difficult to anything about this when there is no documentation for the hidden functions or direct hardware access that seem to be necessary to get it to work.

also I don't have a 7970 which does not help either.

I will ask the library developer if he got something new.

> On some 6xxx and 7xxx systems underclocking memory seems to be limited to coreclock - 125Mhz.

You probably are running into the bios limit. Please see the first post for some info. Maybe you could lower the mem clock further by flashing the bios (be careful might brick your card).

You could try to set different values for the different cards and see how low you can go.

I tried cgminer, when I log in remotely, it also failed to show temperatre and fan speed, this seems a common problem.

running headless systems is one of the main applications of clocktweak. I have been using it for that since the start. I have dummy plugs installed on all cards, though...

it's a 7970, the driver is from the cd-disc coming with the card.
note that I was operate remotely via the "remote desktop", the afterburner/GPUZ also have problem to display information of the card(it's ok when runing ab/gpuz locally,not try clocktweak yet).
I wonder if there's an enviroment variable like DISPLAY in linux?

btw, clocktweak -a list 4 7970 cards(only 1 in the box)

naa, it reports 4 adapters - your card has four adapters

the driver reports the cards to be deactivated or something

I have never heard of such an environment variable in windows. but as I said for some people it seems to have worked to fiddle in the windows video options.... or use a dummy plug.

as you are the first to try on a 7970 you can get a refund anyway. send me a bitcoin address by pm.

grrr this looks like the same problem leksus described above. I hope it is not a problem with the latest driver.

what driver version are you using?

what cards?

it might help to attach a monitor / dummy plug / maaaybe try to activate the card in windows options

Don't use RDP! When doing some folding I discovered severe problems when starting an RDP session.
This might be the reason for your problem.

Teamviewer or Logmein should be fine.

hmm, never seen this problem before. looks like the driver does not see the cards at all. please pm me the -x output. mining and everything works fine? what does catalyst say?

Mining is ok, catalyst I don't install, only driver and OCL. (v11.12 with replacing files to get the same speed with 11.11).

When I connect via RDC, teamviewer or logmein I have the same result.
When I connected directly, but via onboard VC, I have the same result.
When I connect monitor via one of mining VC, clocktweak works fine.

from the -x output you pm'ed I can see that the card's IDs are not shown properly by the driver and all features clocktweak needs from the driver do not work.

you could try to use a dummy plug or with only a slight chance try to activate one of the mining cards even without monitor via the windows video options.
