I am attempting to increase the core voltage on my three Sapphire HD5850 XTREME:


I am able to get 850MHz core, 300 MHz memory stable using the stock 1.088V.  However, I wouldn't mind increasing the core voltage slightly to increase my clock speed.  

I am running Ubuntu 11.04.  I am using Catalyst 11.6 with SDK 2.1.  However, nothing I do allows me to increase my voltage.  According to this page, Trixx should allow overvolting, so the card should be compatible: http://www.sapphireselectclub.com/ssc/TriXX/TriXX.aspx

I can increase the voltage using pyADL.  However setVoltage(2,1088) returns false (for anything over 1088).  aticonfig is then unable to set clocks:

btc@DJB-BTC1:~$ aticonfig --od-setclocks=900,300 --adapter=1
ERROR - Set clocks failed for Adapter 1 - ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
        Please check that input values were valid

If I lower the voltage to 1088 or below, this command works great.  So basically, if the voltage is over 1088, the frequencies cannot be set.  

I have also tried AMDOverdriveCTRL.  

Does anybody have any ideas?
