gputool: How to Overclock NVIDIA and AMD GPUs

anotherjoe

in my json file i have all my cards capped at 150 but nvidia-smi says they are going over, why is that?

You have to apply the values by running gputool --config

@melt I did

jcarpenter

Anyone have any Ideas? I cant get the fans to adjust to 100 Percent,
Tried removing the gpu-config.json and rebuilding. Done every step on this page.
Cannot get the fans to go above 22%
Any help would be appreciated.

@jcarpenter

Hello jcarpenter,

Could you confirm which miner you are using, as I know for instance with claymore dual in the Flag section that both “—ttstop” and “—tt “ need to be deleted otherwise it overrides gputool settings.

@louis Found the solution, Using Claymore Dual but only mining one. Used the -fanmin to 90 solved the problem. Unit running swimmingly now.

Louis

@jcarpenter

Many thanks for the update jcarpenter, and glad your rig is running smoothly by adding "-fanmin", great work :)

Best Louis

New youtube video added to top of original post! Thanks Doc.

ohgodatool has been modified to use PCI BUS ID as the -i parameter instead of AMD's idea of the number.

Here is example how to use:

Trying to update my GPUs so that the fans turn on when I want them too, and every time I try to run gputool --config I get "ERROR: The control display is undefined; please run /usr/bin/nvidia-settings --help for usage information." for every GPU.
