Topic: GPU Fan Control (Read 2178 times)
Hi LawrenceZA,I'm mining litecoins on1 of my rigs with 2-6870's and a 6850.I use reaper and MSI Afterburner to clock and set fan speeds.Had it at 728 khs today,usually around 648 khs though.One 6870 has an aftermarket cooler I run the fans 100% to keep it at 80c.HIS really bombed out on the stock cooler.
Awesome thanks so much 2GOOD.
Please pm me a LTC address if you have one so that I can send you some coins.

I received the coins.
That was very kind of you. Thank you

You can set it from terminal too:
This line sets GPU 0 fan speed at 65%
To set GPU1:
or u can use this script to set a target temp:
setfanspeed.sh
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.0 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 65"
This line sets GPU 0 fan speed at 65%
To set GPU1:
Code:
DISPLAY=:0.1 aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 65"
or u can use this script to set a target temp:
setfanspeed.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash
MAXSPD=80
MINSPD=40
if [ $# -lt 2 ];
then
echo "Usage: setfantemp.sh"
exit 1
fi
DEVICE=$1
SETTEMP=$2
export DISPLAY=:0.${DEVICE}
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 55"
while true;
do
CURTEMP=`aticonfig --adapter=${DEVICE} --odgt | grep Temp | sed 's/.* \([0-9]*[0-9][0-9]\)\..*/\1/'`
CURSPD=`aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0" | grep Result | sed 's/.* \([0-9]*[0-9][0-9]\)\%.*/\1/'`
echo -n "Set temp: ${SETTEMP}C Current temp: ${CURTEMP}C Current speed: ${CURSPD}% - "
if [ "${CURTEMP}" -ne "${SETTEMP}" ]; then
if [ "${CURTEMP}" -lt "${SETTEMP}" ]; then
NEWSPD=$((${CURSPD} - 1))
if [ "${NEWSPD}" -lt "${MINSPD}" ]; then
echo "MIN speed limit"
else
echo "Decreasing speed to ${NEWSPD}"
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 ${NEWSPD}"
fi
else
NEWSPD=$((${CURSPD} + 1))
if [ "${NEWSPD}" -gt "${MAXSPD}" ]; then
echo "MAX speed limit"
else
echo "Increasing speed to ${NEWSPD}"
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 ${NEWSPD}"
fi
fi
else
echo "Stable"
fi
sleep 20
done
If you have AMD drivers, the catalyst icon in the bottom right allows you to control it.
I've tried cgminer with the same parameters as what I use in reaper and got a lot of hardware errors.
After doing some reading I believe this is because I'm using the latest ATI SDK but I didn't want to roll back just for the fans. I thought that setting the fans to max some other way would be the easiest.

cgminer mines LTC and has fan control built in.
Hi guys,
I've got a couple GPUs up and running with Reaper on Ubuntu mining LTCs but they're running at about 80c and I'm not 100% happy with that.
Is there a way that I can set the fan speed manually within Reaper or the OS?
Thanks,
LawrenceZA
