re: undervolting 7970
The best way is to set voltage in AB. Then run cgminer with that setting. cgminer will report 1.17 as this is what ADL provides, BUT
if you open GPU-Z you'll see that the voltage is closer to your setting than to 1.17. It might not be exactly what you set in AB and cgminer config file,
but it will be close (and it will be lower). Verify this with killawatt reading.
For example, now I run 925/775/0.937 settings in AB and cgminer config file. But the actual GPU-Z sensor page says the cards are running at 0.89V
I used this method to run with 1025/685/0.993 @ 740W at the wall (3x7970).
Now, with 925/775/0.937 settings the whole system consumes 480-490W.
Topic: software for 7970 and 7950 (Read 3502 times)
Voltage: 1.17>0.88 Volts(25% under volt)
All the previous cards I had never OC and Undervolted this much.
Ckolivas himself admits that cgminer cannot set the voltage on 7970s:

Of course at 1180 you're not undervolting: you're at stock voltage. Which is pretty fine indeed

Just tried your settings, thanks. Card dropped from 83 degrees to 74 degrees, and now my clock from 1125 to 1180.
A higher clock and much lower temperatures.
Getting Currently: "697.8 mhash"
Its insane how much this card can undervolt and overclock at the same time
Stock: 1000>1180
Voltage: 1.17>0.88 Volts(25% under volt)

With CGMiner, try diablo's kernel. Most if not all of my 7xxx cards are pegged at 99% usage. I'm using CCC 12.3 as well. 12.4 really messed up mining for me.
Thanks, cgminer is alot better compared to guiminer.

How do I know which kernel is running?
I guess that means that youre 7970 gpu core is between 1100-1180mhz and the memory is 150mhz less so 950-1030mhz?
I'm now 1125/1050 on the 7970 and it gives 660mhash, the 7950 is 1100/1250 and 575mhash.
I would like to overclock more the core but it is capped at 1125 for 7970 and 1100 for 7950 how do I unlock that in cgminer or windows 7 because I have watercooling?

I'm currently mining with guiminer/opencl.
7970 is 1125mhz on core and gives about 640mhash.
My 7950 at 1030mhz core gives about 495mhash.
Q: would diablominer or other software give more then that?
They are only 96% core load for some odd reason, I'm using catalyst 12.3 I know that 12.2 is recommended might try that later.
