Topic: New command-line tool for overclocking ATI cards (Linux) - page 6. (Read 50937 times)
Woo, finally! Ty much, will be testing this soon ^.^
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 just tried on my 5850 and it won't allow me to go beyond its maximum. atitweak uses the same method to tweak settings as AMDOvDrvCtrl, so you if can't overclock with that tool, you can't overclock with this one.

Anyone know how up voltage on linux, or unlock the stock voltage of a 5830 via flash?
Whit AMDOvDrvCtrl cant up more than stock on 5830 card.
Need up more than stock, same what i can do whit sapphire trixxx on windows.
thx

Looks good. If it can actually change the voltage, then it solves a problem.
FWIW, the Catalyst 11.6 drivers allow you to over/underclock beyond the BIOS limitations already using aticonfig (these cards have never seen Windows or DOS):

So i can underclock my memory using aticonfig and not resorting to amdoverdrivectrl?
With Catalyst 11.6, yes. I'm able to at least.
I only use AMDOverdriveCtrl for changing the voltage.

Great stuff, thank you. I was waiting for someone to do wrappers around that ADL lib (lazy I know). Will give it a try shortly, on a variety of cards. Thanks Again.
As far as im aware, the original AMDOverdriveCtrl cant actually raise the voltage above the default? Can this?
I haven't tried, no desire to fry my cards.

Hi everyone,
I'm an experienced software developer who set up a mining rig last month using Ubuntu. I found the overclocking tool available for Linux (AMDOvDrvCtrl) was a bit annoying to use, so I took a look at the source and decided to write my own command-line version. Rather than write one in C or C++, I figured it would be much more useful to wrap the underlying libraries using Python's ctypes package so I could write the tool in Python. This means no compiling, no installing an SDK, and you can read the code yourself to make sure there's no funny business going on.
Anyway, I'm done and the tool is available. You can install it in a few different ways:
From github: https://github.com/mjmvisser/adl3
From PyPi: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/adl3/0.3
With Python's "easy_install": sudo easy_install adl3==0.3
If you don't use easy_install, you'll need to run "sudo python setup.py install" to install the package after you download and unpack it.
Included is the "atitweak" tool. It can list your adapters just like aticonfig:
It can also change the engine/memory clock speed and core voltage individually for each performance level and adapter:
new! You can set your fan speed (in percent) for each adapter:
new! It will also show the current status of adapters:
Here's the full command-line help:
So far, I've only tested this on my own rig (quad 5850s) so it would probably benefit from testing by experienced users.
UPDATE: I've verified that over/under-clocking outside of the BIOS range is possible with the Catalyst 11.6 drivers.
This should be obvious, but...

Please try it out, and let me know if you find any problems or bugs.
