At last! Rivatuner 2.10 is here!!!

Looks good but i've never used rivatuner before, how do I create profiles? What does low-level mean? Thanks

This worked with 2.09 but not tried with v. 2.10 yet: Use this guide by Vague Soft and scroll down about 2/3 of the way to "Advanced Automatic Fan Control" no need to make the fan profiles. There is a useful Excel document that u can input desired temps into to see how it will affect fan speed too.

Am I missing something here... Since installing RivaTuner GPU-Z is reading my overclocked 4850 @ 690/1123...

But on the sensers it's 500/750 ????

Also Rivatuner won't overclock it anything above 500/750...

Fresh install of Cat 8.8 / CCC

No 4870x2 support you say? sadpanda.gif

So I am still stuck with either having a jet fighter taking off in my case, or the chip sitting there cooking itself. bah humbug!

500/750 2D Clocks no?

Finally this is working, no need for ATi CCC**** now, what version of ATi Tray Tools do I need? And does that support 8xAA and the filters?

Just a quick question.. I've got Asus SmartDoctor, and Asus CCC... Should I UN-install both of these BEFORE installing rivatuner?

(Been waiting for 2.10 to get rid of this buggy smartdoctor lol).

I'd like to know that about CCC as well?

CraigN · 1 Sep 2008 at 19:17

just downloaded it

it is detecting the 4870X2 and even after i try detecting the default fan settings the fan speed slider makes no difference to actual fan speed.

booooo

Mr Paul · 1 Sep 2008 at 20:30

Just something I've found out.

When you use CCC autotune, it actually ups the voltage to 1.16v on the 4850. If you don't use the CCC you won't get this voltage boost thus not being able to clock even as high as CCC.

Well in my case anyway, CCC ATI tool stabe at 700/1100, without CCC 690/1050.

Two people have it working on XS. Asus and Powercolor, I've seen two Sapphire (mine included) not working.

Interesting. The screenshot on the xtremesystems forum link you've provided shows fan settings, specific for ADT7473 sensor. So RT detected the external sensor properly and it can only mean that the sensor is connected to one of standard DDC I2C bus (which is fully supported by RivaTuner). At the same time, the sensor is connected to additional generic I2C bus (which is currently not supported neither by RT nor by any other diagnostic software) on some other X2s. So it looks like depending on PCB design you may be either lucky or not.

Greebo · 1 Sep 2008 at 21:09

I think I have just found out why my 4870 won't clock any higher than 875/1100

I have just been checking for 3 mins with rivatuner and my voltage regulator temps hit 147C :eek:

before I closed ATI tool.

I think I will have to do something about that

What temps are people getting with the reference cooler on the voltage regulator?

Thread reading ability failure.

I said further up that fan control wasn't supported on the 4870X2, and it's been said in other threads too.

Greebo · 1 Sep 2008 at 21:22

Update, I thought I would let ati tool run until the vpu recovery kicked in.

Regulator temps hit 167C before failing :eek:

Is this right? Or is rivatuner bust on these sensors?

Durzel · 1 Sep 2008 at 21:26

You'd better hope so, 167C sounds far beyond what the IC would be rated for.

RavenXXX2 · 1 Sep 2008 at 21:32

Rivatuner shows my voltage regulator temp at 70c after five minutes of ATIT artifact scanning, clocks at 825/1000.

On air? My X2 artifacts at 925+ mem it would seem, 1000 is like a Dali painting.

Thanks for that Raven. Guess my heatsinks on my vrm are just not sufficient. AT idle they are 75C.

Unless something is mess up with my setup. Hope so :confused:

RavenXXX2 · 1 Sep 2008 at 21:44

Yeah I'm am on stock cooling with fan at 35%, though i do have a 120mm fan directly below the Voltage regulators which cools them down very well.

Greebo · 1 Sep 2008 at 22:04

Well half my heatsinks were hanging off when I took the side of my case off :eek:

Re stuck them back on and put a fan on them and now reach 102C max - still needs improving though

Time for a bigger heatsink
