It hasn't really worked for a while. It's better to adjust your clocks manually, and test for heat and stability yourself.

W1zzard I attempted installing Catalyst 7.11 again, the ccc still did not show but I think it was functioning since it showed in my processes. The fan control does not work with it and the 3870. I also noticed the fan control only works (7.10) at a % amount and only certain numbers: 23,45,60, and 100%. Riva tuner seems to have issues with the fan control as well.

installing atitool 0.27 beta 3 on a system with 3870 installed results in temperatures goes bannana, the fix i have found is to enable Fan Control > Override fan speeds

Thank You Wizzard

Google atitool and apparently a beta 4 version is out. Some of the sites are pretty reliable ones as well.

Whats this about?

RV670 bug #1: beta 3 crashes when running scan artifacts :/
RV670 bug #2: beta 3 turns off gpu fan to zero if vpu recovery restarts driver

AtiTool 0.27 beta 3 and 4:
"Fan Control" no physical effect on fan speed.
RV670pro, powercolor hd 3850 pcs 512mb.
(Same prob with RivaT 2.06...)

Hope next update will fix it, ATITool 4 ever

Awesome stuff dude, all we need now is to be able to get the program to remember voltages so I can find out how far I can push my 2900Pro 1gig.

Hope next update will fix it, ATITool 4 ever

Does that make sense? You say yourself it's no ATITool only issue, how should an update of ATITool fix it then? Sounds like a Driver Issue to me, or did u mean that?

Hi All,
Firstly, please excuse me if this problem has already been fixed - I couldn't see an answer for it when I read the posts. Secondly, this is my first attempt at overclocking a graphics card so I am in unfamiliar territory - please excuse my stupidity on certain issues.

Ok - I downloaded ATITool 0.27b4, installed it and it came up fine. when I try to slide the sliders, they just reset, regardless of whether I do them individually or link them together. I tried putting the values in manually, but nothing changes in the Current clocks windows. I tried running Find Max Core for over 8 hours, but it didn't finish due to a power failure and didn't appear to have done anything in that time (should I run it again and let it go 'till it stops?). When I look in the log file I get really weird stuff like:

2007-12-10 01:10:19 I Find Max Core started...
2007-12-10 01:29:09 I Scan aborted. Total runtime: 1129 seconds. Artifact-free: 1129 seconds. Core: 7425.00 MHz Memory: 500.00 MHz

2007-12-10 20:19:29 I Find Max Memory started...
2007-12-10 20:36:34 I Scan aborted. Total runtime: 1025 seconds. Artifact-free: 1025 seconds. Core: 600.00 MHz Memory: 8675.00 MHz

That is weird to me because the core shows as 600.00MHz and the memory shows 500.00MHz no matter what I do. Also a website that did a review on my graphics card said he could only overclock it to 725 on the core and 1025 on the memory (for that matter, he said the defaults were 625 core and 900 mem - nowhere near what ATITool shows).

Once again, please forgive me if this is all really obvious stuff, but I am completely lost and could really use some tips or help.

Don´t know about any sense (I'am to new in this area).
Supose it´s a driver thing but I have no ide. Someone earlyer in this thread, with HD 38XX, talked about fan speed with catalyst 7.10 (kind of work) and 7.11 (doesn´t work) vs atitool.
Kind of strange because I can´t use catalyst 7,10 at all.

Since Voltage control works only a few days for me, I couldn't test yet, how far I can go with the same card you have. But with stock Voltages it get's unstable when I go further than just 695.25 / 1026 and I got this Cooler on my Sapphire x1950XT 256 (only 1 card though ), so I think it's totally normal it get's unstable that high. And I have a 120mm Fan on the Top of my card which is Temp Controled by ATITool up to 91% at above 65°, 67°(52° environment) is the absolute max with 30° Room Temp (in summer)

Watch the Pics, I got exact same Clocks showing in either Rivatuner 2.06 or ATITool 0.27b4 +b1.exe. Erm, can U show Voltages with Rivatuner? Couldn't find it yet. What Voltages u changed?

Btw, I have the ATI Catalyst 7.11 54442 driver with CCC, but it was the same on 5-6 prior drivers too.

Ok, I'm on water cooling so my temps are awsome. I'm currently using volts (in order they appear in atitool) 1.475 2.233 2.233 1.891. Load temps are 47-49C. It's so wierd that I can set everything just fine in atitool, use rivatuners hardware monitoring to see whats really going on during 3dmark or a game and it's fine up till 722.25/981.00, after that if I set it to 742.25/981 it will set just fine but as soon as 3dmark starts rivatuner hardware monitor shows it drop back to 722.25/981.00. Real odd. Guess I shouldn't complain too much 722.25/981.00 is still a heck of an overclock.

[arisythila]

I'm just wondering, But is there ever going to be voltage control for the 3870XT's? Or is that just for the x1950's?

Thanks.

Hi W1zzard, hi peoples

Installing Atitool 0.27b4 on an Ultimate x64 os went perfectly. No nags! I don't do overclocking but I find the Atitool ideal for fan control. But it seems that my Sapphire HD3870 and the Atitool can't agree with each other on fan settings. The profile loads at startup
and in 2d (bios 60 degrees 30%) profile 40 degrees 40% and you here no change in fan speed. In 3d load the bios juist reacts and at 80 to 90 degrees the fan spins up. I'm not having any atrifact or freezeup problems with my system at this moment. When I start
throughing games at this system more control over graphic card would be nice and I can image it would admirable over overclockers too.

W1zzard if you can figure this out, Inzide and others would be very grateful.

atitool 0.27 b4 doesnt work with fan speed on both hd 3800 cards i have the HIS version of hd 3850 rivatuner works perfectly though but i want atitool great tool

[Blind Man]

On my 8800GT I am having the same problems as others.

on default profile:


creating a new profile:


if i keep raising the bars it will keep extending them but will reset back to 0.00 if i try and set it to anything

RT, doesnt work for me, powercolor 3850 pcs...

the unoffical beta 4 dont work, beta 3 works fine for RV670 cards using the fan control its a bit buggy but it works, it takes a bit of time to get it on the right procent

Im using beta4 in Vista works great with all controls , except for the fan of course...its still buggy , but going to water solved that issue!

Nothings happens with the fan on rv670pro (3850) card with beta 3

Using beta 3 from W1z's OP and I can't get Voltage control to stick for my 2900XT 1gb in vista 64. The voltage does change (confirmed by rivatuner) however when a 3D app is launched it goes back to default, so close yet so far.

It's been a bug since .27b2. Hasn't been resolved quite yet.

[AsRock]

I'd like to know how accurate the amp usage is with it ( VDDC ).
