with 11.6 and 11.7 u can set whatever you want, but cpu usage bug forces me to rollback to 11.5

i can overclock on 11.5, using amdoverdrivectrl to downclock mem outside bios limits, and gpu clock rise only to bios limits

im using catalyst 11.5 because of cpu usage bug and cannot simply change clocks to whatever i want
been thinking that your tool will allow to do this

I jumped directly from 11.4 to 11.6, so I don't know if the limitation issue was fixed in 11.5 or 11.6. Can you overclock with aticonfig? Both tools use the same underlying API, so if aticonfig works, atitweak also works.
Under 11.6 you can over/underclock beyond the BIOS limitations. Nothing else needed.

mjmvisser, can your tool oc over bios limitations ? or if not now, maybe in future ?
Yes, with the 11.6 drivers you can over/underclock outside of the BIOS ranges. You can use this tool or aticonfig, they both call the same underlying API.
atitweak --adapter=$1 --set-fan-speed=100
atitweak --adapter=$1 --set-engine-clock=950 --set-memory-clock=300 --performance-level=all
atitweak --adapter=$1 --set-engine-clock=850 --set-memory-clock=300 --performance-level=1
atitweak --adapter=$1 --set-engine-clock=750 --set-memory-clock=300 --performance-level=0
(replace $1 with the adapter number)
These are well-ventilated and run between 75 and 85 C. I'm unable to push the engine clock higher without OpenCL errors or freezes. Some people are successfully overclocking even higher by also boosting the voltage. Right now, the only tool on Linux that can overdrive the voltage is radeonvolt. It doesn't work on my cards (not reference 5850s), so you're on your own there.

It worked. Thanks.

Can't get or set fan speed for dual gpus like 5970.
Fixed -- now prints a warning instead barfing when the _Get call fails.
I don't have a 5970 to test with, can you try it out? I just replaced the 0.3 version at pypi, so you may need to remove it and reinstall to get the updated code.
cheers,

UPDATE: adl3 v0.3
Features:
I've added a few more parameters to atitweak:
Also, -l / --list-adapters now shows fan speed range.
Bug fixes:
If DISPLAY is not set, it is assumed to be ":0" and set before ADL3 is initialized.
That's all for this release! See the original post in this topic for (updated) installation instructions. If you're using easy_install, you may need to explicitly state the installation version: "sudo easy_install adl3=0.3"
Next version:
I'm looking into using ADL3's i2c API to set the voltage, which if possible, should allow bypassing the BIOS voltage range.

As far as im aware, the original AMDOverdriveCtrl cant actually raise the voltage above the default? Can this?
NO

Good stuff mjmvisser ... !
Yeah, seriously good stuff. Do you have a donation address?

If you don't use easy_install, you'll need to run "python setup.py install" to install the package.
I downloaded the adl3**.tar.gz & extracted it. Then cd to that folder & ran sudo easy_install adl3 & it said easy_install not found.
So, i run "python setup.py install" , which gave permission denied error.
So, i run
Code:
sudo python setup.py install
which installed correctly. Please edit with "sudo", so noobie's like me do correctly.Thanks.
giving it a go will let you know my results after a couple of days to see how it goes.
kudos on getting it done

works like a charm, but Í've seen some strange bug...
when trying to overvolt the stock voltage (from 1.088 (stock) to 1.150), I get failed (obvius) and then the my miner rate just drops and with list it shows the voltage at 1.150

Do you get the same result with AMDOvDrvCtrl?
can't overvolt in AMDOverdriveCtrl...
that's why it's strange
Without writing to the i2c interface on the various cards (see radeonvolt for Linux tool) you cannot jump above the BIOS limits, I like how easy this tool is to use, grab the radeonvolt code for reference and merge the two and there is a good path towards a tool getting closer to those available on Windows.

Will this allow me to get past 900Mhz on my XFX 5830 and 875Mhz on my Sapphire 5830? I'd love to get to about 950 on each card if possible.
I use Catalyst 11.6 to drive my 5830s at 990/600 (308Mhash/sec). These are Sapphire cards, your milage may vary on XFX. This is at stock voltage.
The commands I use in my startup script are:
Code:
#Overclock GPU to 990Mhz
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --od-enable --adapter=all
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --od-setclocks=990,600 --adapter=${1}
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --od-enable --adapter=all
DISPLAY=:0 aticonfig --od-setclocks=990,600 --adapter=${1}
Where $1 represents the adapter # of the GPU.
