wmvatis, see my previous post on this thread with the fix for AMDOverdriveCtrl:

Check the temperature with:

Code: [Select]
aticonfig --adapter=0 --od-gettemperature
and fan speed with

Code: [Select]
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "get fanspeed 0"
If the temperature is too high, try setting the fan speed like this:

Code: [Select]
aticonfig --pplib-cmd "set fanspeed 0 80"
In Windows world they have all those fancy GUIs ;)
my problem is I get
PPLIB command execution has failed!
ati_pplib_cmd: execute "get" failed!

and with cgminer i have no problem with these cards runing at 70% fan speed with 76 degree
thanks for all your help!!

Since aticonfig doesnt allow me to control the fan at the 290 cards, I use now following solution to protect against the temperature run to 94 degree.
I first start cgminer and when card reaches arround 76 degree and 60-70% fan rotation I quickly switch to memory coin miner and the fan stays at that rotation speed.
It seems to me the auto speed of the cards is set way too low around 43 % fan rotation.

Another option is get the source of AMDOverDriveCtrl and patch is as follow:

could you add an option to control the vents rotation on card

thanks in advance
Perhaps, in future versions. Driver's autotune might work just as well in most cases: card's cores are not always loaded to 100%, during periods when most time is spent accessing memory, cores have a chance to cool down.

thanks a lot I fear only that 94 degree ist too hot for my 290
Some people have reported a much cooler operation than with scrypt, and a lower power consumption.
yes you are right on my saphire its 67 but on ASUS card its 94 which is very sad
Figure you have to check its fans and thermal grease.. 94 is not healthy at all.

On my R9 290 (Sapphire) in Linux, I observe the same thing. With Catalyst let alone managing the card, it settles around 94C
but the fan is running very slowly, around 50%, maybe less.

I manually ramp them up with AMDOverdriveCtrl (you need a patch to make it work) but the aticonfig command line
should work too.

Note that I'm surprised some report a lower temp on Sapphire, I've checked I'm using the latest Sapphire BIOS
015.041.000.000.000000 which is supposed to improve that...

Any chance you can put a version or date in the tarball filename ? (And on the web page)

I assume there's going to be more than those 2 builds and it's not easy to figure out which is which :-)
