Topic: Problem OC Sapphire 5830 (Read 1195 times)
I installed amd drivers from ppa:ubuntu-x-swat/x-updates and aticonfig never lets me go outside the configurable range, but afterwards, I manually install amd drivers from their site and the new aticonfig command lets me set it to whatever I want.
Thanks for your help
I still cant post in regular section
... newbie restriction
Also i'm having problem booting Linuxcoin with 4 x 5850. As mentioned above, i successfully ran Linuxcoin with a single 5850 (mining and everything seems to work fine)
But i cant boot into Desktop with 4 x 5850. It hang after the splash screen, seems like X-server got stuck during the initiation.
I can boot fine with 4 x 5850 to Windows 7, so i know its not the hardware.
I really want to post in Linuxcoin thread, when can i pass the newbie restriction?

Sorry can't help you there. It appears there's something wrong with the version of phatk you use (did you install diapolo's version without updating __init__.py as well?)
That's probably a question to ask in the Linuxcoin thread.
Alternatively you could give BAMT a try, been using it with great success for a week now. http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=28967.0

I decided to try atitweak, and boy it was much simpler, cleaner as well
So i finally can overclock my card.
However, i just try phoenix miner with phatk kernel on linuxcoin for the first time and i got this msg/warning right after executing the command
Does anyone know what it means?

Which i have been following, the AMDOverdriveCtrl should let me overclock my card.
I read the atitweak thread, and it seems ppl complaining about over-volting,
How do i find which driver version i'm using? I'm running linuxcoin 0.2b-final

I was able to overclock the core with overdrive but underclocking would lock the machine up.
I'll give atitweak a try. Thanks guys.

Read the thread I linked to, it doesn't and that's why the author of atitweak decided to write his own.
Does the AMDOverdriveCtrl in linux let you overclock your card? If so how? I tried it from the GUI and it can only let me set clock the the maximum of my default clock ... strange. However i have read in other threads that ppl have been using it to overclock their cards. Any clues?
FYI, its 5850 black edition with default clock at 775/1125

It's very easy to over/underclock both core and memory in Linux. Use atitweak. Example:
atitweak -A 0 -f 100 -e 900 -m 300
will set for adapter #0: fan to 100%, core to 900 and memory to 300.
atitweak -A 0 -f 100 -e 900 -m 300
will set for adapter #0: fan to 100%, core to 900 and memory to 300.
Code:
atitweak -h
Usage: atitweak [options]
Options:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
-l, --list-adapters Lists all detected and supported display adapters.
-s, --status Shows current clock speeds, core voltage, utilization
and performance level.
-e ENGINE_CLOCK, --set-engine-clock=ENGINE_CLOCK
Sets engine clock speed (in MHz) for the selected
performance levels on the selected adapters.
-m MEMORY_CLOCK, --set-memory-clock=MEMORY_CLOCK
Sets memory clock speed (in MHz) for the selected
peformance levels on the selected adapters.
-v CORE_VOLTAGE, --set-core-voltage=CORE_VOLTAGE
Sets core voltage level (in VDC) for the selected
performance levels on the selected adapters.
-f FAN_SPEED, --set-fan-speed=FAN_SPEED
Sets the fan speed (in percent) for the selected
adapters.
-d, --set-fan-speed-default
Resets the fan speed to its default setting.
-A ADAPTERLIST, --adapter=ADAPTERLIST
Selects which adapters returned by --list-adapters
should be affected by other atitweak options.
ADAPTERLIST contains either a comma-seperated sequence
of the index numbers of the adapters to be affected or
else contains the keyword "all" to select all the
adapters. If --adapter is missing, all adapters will
be affected.
-P PERFORMANCELEVELLIST, --performance-level=PERFORMANCELEVELLIST
Selects which performance levels returned by --list-
adapters should be affected by other atitweak options.
PERFORMANCELEVELLIST contains either a comma-separated
sequence of the index numbers of the performance
levels to be affected or else contains the keyword
"all" to select all performance levels. If
--performance-level is missing, all performance levels
will be affected.

where do i get atitweak?
thanks
Have you tried older/newer driver versions, especially on Windows? Also make sure you don't have some weird BIOS preventing OC.
It's very easy to over/underclock both core and memory in Linux. Use atitweak. Example:
atitweak -A 0 -f 100 -e 900 -m 300
will set for adapter #0: fan to 100%, core to 900 and memory to 300.
atitweak -A 0 -f 100 -e 900 -m 300
will set for adapter #0: fan to 100%, core to 900 and memory to 300.

i have never figured a way to underclock mem in linux.
and I know its not available in any non commerically available util
better go to windows 7 and use msi afterburner

I'm running an ubuntu 10.04 server with xfce.
The server has an athlon 140, 2gb ram, and 2x5830's. I have them both overclocked to about 950mhz core. I tried to underclock the memory but everytime i do so it locks the machine up.
I have this same exact hardware also running under windows xp sp3 and I get the same results. ANY modification to the memory clock speed on either GPU and it locks the machine up...
Any ideas?
Thanks.
