Ah, that makes things a bit clearer.
Come on guys...
1 - Unwinder already said he wouldn't add voltage sliders to RT;
2 - He said he is not helping EVGA with their new software to control voltage;
3 - If you think he is lying, you have all the right to do so, but keep it to yourselves...
4 - If you are really willing to have voltage control sliders, you can do a program to attain such, now that all of us know how...
maybe you missed this part, I'm not trying to change unwinders mind.Quote:

C'mon guys....I've taken UNWINDERS excuse and am accepting it.....why can't you lot do the same. Am I not allowed to agree with unwinder now is that it?
You really have some serious issue. If a person says no, that means no. He can say no without any reason. He is doing the program on his freetime without any charge. He can give any answer he wants without owing anything to anyone. He doesnt even need to give a reason when he refused the request.If he was to answer only no to you demand without any reason, would you whine this much too?Quote:

The demand for a gui based voltage tuner is obviously high amongst enthusiasts. So one would have to reason that
someone will make such a tool or mod. Unwinder has said he doesn't want to, and nothing we do will change that.
Let it be, and give it some time. I'm sure you'll have a program that suits your liking sometime relatively soon.
Yeah, there is this neat program called EVGA Voltage Tuner that I hear is supposed to be out soon :rolleyes:Quote:

Well it looks like Evga Voltage Tuner is not going to be much help to me after all. After following justageek95 guide I've sucesfuly managed to change the vcore of my gtx 280 to 1.3V. Too bad it look like the shaders on this card fare rather poorly and top out at 1512 regardless of the voltage, I tried 1.3, 1.25 and 1.24 now and the shaders are the limiting factor to my max core speed of 756. Also even .1 increase to vcore really increased the temps even with a 100% fan, 78C is no joke.
Well at least I gained 20ish on the core, thats something.
How could I up the voltage on a pair of 9800gx2's???
Where is the logic in triggering OVP in this situation? As far as I understand VT1165 principles, the sense of OVP is preventing output voltage from going beyond Vnominal + OVP (hardwired and defined with configuration resistors). Vnominal is output nominal voltage, i.e. the voltage VRM is expecting to see on output, this is the value you are seeing at RT's hardware monitoring graphs and this is the value you're programming into VRM. So for example if VRM is programmed to give 1.4V on output and resistors define OVP of 200mV, OVP condition will be triggered when real output voltage goes beyond 1.6V. This makes sense for hardware voltage mods, when you change the voltage without altering programmed VRM's nominal voltage. In this case you change voltage by altering nominal voltage yourself. And VT1165 supports much higher voltages than 1.37.Quote:

I've already posted it in other thread: you can "ask" VT1165 to report OCP/OVP conditions by reading its register 13. Bits 0 and 1 are OCP/OVP states. Take a note that these bits are read-only status bits, you cannot change them.
Dear KELL5 and the Co, if you think that my reasons are completely illogical, please stop attacking me and prove it by actions. You have easy way to prove your words by writing your own tool doing exactly the same things you're demanding me to do. Wrting your own Windows MMIO driver is a question of 1-2 weeks. Writing your own HAL accessing ATI/NV I2C buses based on open source Linux ATI/NV drivers is a question of 1-2 weeks too. Having that in hands, you can use the information provided in this thread to implement VT1165 support layer. This is a question of 1 hour. Attaching the slider to it is a question of 5 minutes. Do it, if you can do something besides trolling. Easy money, you can even sell it to some vendor.Quote:

i'm hesitant to try anything over 1.35v cause thats apparently the highest the evga voltage tool will let you go, but im tempted since the gpu core temps are still reasonable. do you guys think i should try bumping it up a little or leave it at this?
Try 1.3V or lower and bump up your core clocks. Even if one of your cards caps at 1512 shader you should still be able to reach 756 core on both of them.
so true, if you want something done, then do it yourself.Quote:

They chose to ignore your warning, it's their responsability.
I'll have to look at little more closely. The load current is much higher in game than the resting load current at 3d, so I'm not sure its OCP. What I know for sure is that the vcore measured from the back of the card never exceeds 1.35v volts no matter what value I use. This is a trace from 'in game' loads compared to resting loads at different voltages. It doesn't pull any more current in 3d 1.52v than 3d 1.35v. And were it moves to 1.52v in resting mode the current is well under even the 1.26v stock load current.Quote:

Is this the right OVP register etc? Not sure, returns the same 01 regardless of voltage selected.
Anyway 1.06v (2d register) to 1.55v gives ~1.35v. Upto 1.35v its very close to the DMM values in 0.0125v steps.

This thread is a great example of why parents don’t take their little kids to the grocery store.
Kid sees *NEW FACY CEREAL* they HAVE to have – Mom and Dad say no, it might be bad for you.
“BUT MOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!….”
Get over it guys, no means no. at the end of the day your opinion doesn’t matter in the fact at all, no matter how you try to sell it.
If the programmer doesn’t want to add a slider, that is 100% his prerogative – believe it or not, whatever you say isn’t going to help that fact. Might be hard to swallow, I know this IS the internet – but it’s the truth.
basically it's setup like shown in my sig (DDC3.2 w/ XSPC Res Top -> PA120.3 (3x YL D12SM) -> D-Tek FuZion GFX 2 -> D-Tek FuZion GFX 2). i don't have any fans blowing over the unisinks. i have a fan intake at the bottom of the case but i dont think that makes too much of a difference.Quote:

I do not have the programming experience to do that, but if somebody could teach me real quick how to do it, I'd love to as long as it takes less than a week or so. Anybody? Maybe I should ask Ray Adams, since he already added voltage sliders to ATI Tray Tools, but it only takes 4850 cards to 1.35v, which is most likely due to the OVP kicking in at 1.35v. When I had an X1900XTX and HD3870, I preferred ATiTrayTools over RT anyways..
What sliders?Quote:

Most people who create freeware probably do it cause it is fun for them, and serves a general purpose to themselves and others. When it becomes a job, or when people complain, then I'm sure that weighs heavily on if they 'want' to continue building on what they already created.
I agree, how are you going to treat the man who wrote Riva Tuner that way? Its a great app. I honestly expect better at XS.Quote:

Can you guys drop the silly Voltage sliders debate ?
If you can't, pick up your cellphone, call your friend and go out for a drink.
Well, I guess you have to play around a lot more with your system to figure out stable clocks for both cards. My GTX 280 can do 730 core, 1512 shaders at stock 1.19 vcore and at 1.24 vcore I can max out the core clock to 756.Quote:

Plus doing it the way that was described in this thread isn't hard at all, if someone has a problem following a few simple steps they shouldn't even be messing around with overclocking at all.Quote:

Fornowagain seems to say that if you set over 1.35v, rivatuner reports the voltage increase, but when measuring at Vgpu measure point the voltage never exceeds 1.35v. Is this correct?
You can see current draw increase from ~33A at 1.26v to ~41A at 1.35v, however going above that seems to cause a reduction in current to between 37 - 40A.
Since there are no datasheets available for the volterra VRMs, I was curious about what other registers might be; So I read them all at various conditions to try to figure out what each one is.
Here's what I found for 280gtx. Not really much... I was trying to see if there was a OVP/OCP register.. but didn't see any other registers change but the ones I marked in red. I only went as high as 1.44V w/o a load (3d app started, but not run - furmark).
My reasons for trying? I was just curious :p:

What has playing with fire got to do with anything? He just wrote a simple c++ app to do the calculations. Same thing as doing it with a script or by hand, just a little less cumbersome.
gtx 285 seems like a tough nut to crack for voltage control because the voltage controller has no I2C support. only VID pins which are probably controlled via GPU GPIOQuote:

I have no problems hard modding it, it's probably the easiest mod I have ever done in fact, and I'd also like to add some extra caps to the card, so if it doesn't happen I won't be too concerned. It just would be nice to be able to test voltages above 1.30v without triggering OCP.Quote:

It's pretty simple, it doesn't read anything in realtime. It's not too useful, only eases finding the voltages you want @ your stable clocks. After that, it's alot easier to use rivatuners scheduler to apply settings at windows startup.
The GUI just increments the VID values via the slider, and shows the appropriate conversion in volts. Adjust the slider, and hit the Set Voltage button, and both 2D and 3D voltages are set. Nothing is applied until you hit the Set Voltage button.
And easy check to see if all is working good it to open furmark (no need to start it), check 3D voltage. close all 3d apps, check idle voltage
It works for 280gtx for IC2 Bus value of 3, and uses the following default registers:
Register 15 - 3B = 59 = 1.1875v <---3D voltage
Register 18 - 35 = 53 = 1.1125v <---2D voltage
Drop it in your rivatuner directory and run it.
Here's what it looks like:
http://i327.photobucket.com/albums/k...ageControl.png
I might play around with the code some more, and add some stuff.. But don't expect too much. I usually get bored and never go back to things lol It's more fun for me trying to get the program to do what I want, rather then using it. I teach myself C# as I figure out stuff.

Thanks again for your efforts mate, I'm sure a lot of users find it very handy.
On my GTX280 Tri-SLI under 16`c chilled water with D-tek unisinks
Upped my voltage from 1.19 to 1.35v result : from 774/1593/1296 to 810/1647/1296 rock stable no artifacts.
Highest i could get was 820/1701/1296 @ 1.46v but after 10 mins the heat gave shader artifacts.
None the less I'm happy with the extra mhz thanks to this simple mod :D
oh no worries its free for you lol:DQuote:

GTX 260 it works I can change voltage. But in RT monitor my voltage output never changes even under load.:confused: So no way of finding load voltage??
I'm taking the easy road too. They did say soon, so it's really not that big of a deal. My 280 already does what I need it to do, but the voltage tuner will be nice to get those xtra FPS out of my flight sims. To max out FPS and especially max out the min FPS is always a good thing. :yepp:Quote:

Or if someone wants to give me the default registers for their card, I can just make different versions. That would be a lot easier and quicker.
Would need 2D voltage register, and it's default value.
and same for 3D.
I made some modifications to my GUI. It now lets you input 2D VID addrees, and initial value; and the same for 3D. You change those values before moving sliders (if yours aren't same as my default ones). Once you move the sliders it doesn't read from those fields anymore, but displays the values in volts and hex.
1. change values if needed, as pointed out in top picture
2. adjust sliders, see voltages on right side.
3. hit press Set Voltage button. See changes in rivatuner hardware monitoring.
The background changes colors too, as you move the sliders up and down :D
Eventually I'll make it write your register values to a text file (ini), and then read them back next time you open the GUI - So you don't have to keep changing them everytime (if your registers aren't same as the default ones I have programmed).
Disclaimer: use at your own risk! (i'm programmng n00b lol)
Edit: I just realized that it might not still work for some of your cards. since it uses the I2C bus 3, and that's not changeable via the GUI right now. Can't do it now, gotta get ready for superbowl :p

so thats it NOT in programfile (x86)/riva........ etc....
might work =]
arrrgghh.. i wish you rivatuner users would get a thread.. i keep thinking they released the beta or something for the evga voltage tool everytime i see this thread bumped
It would be nice, and easy to do :welcome:

It's nothing but a GUI. So if you could control voltage with rivatuner via the VT1103 plugin, then it might work for you.Quote:

here's a new version of the GUI. it lets you select /sd0,1,2,3 and i2c bus 0,1,2,3 so it can be used on different cards, and setups with multi-gpus.
By default, its setup for 280gtx.
You can even use rivatuners launcher function, and assign it a hot key.. if you want :p:
btw, sorry for all the off topic post... since this is supposed to be evga voltage control thread.
Cheers dude! :up:
You should make it read valves for it too.
I get that error too.Quote:

Just checking is all.
I would have already if I knew how to get the values from rivatuner. As far as I know it only passes them into that window that pops up. Which I have no clue on how to grab the values from. If it passed them to the dos window it would be easy for me to get them... I even tried passing them to a text file at the dos window using "rivatuner /ri3,70,reg_address >text_file.txt".. no luck.Quote:

also, that error you guys are getting is cause it can't find rivatuner.exe. It only looks in the directory the GUI.exe is, so it needs to be in the same directory as rivatuner.exe as Rinaun said above - as was noted in the first post I made about the GUI.
how about an "apply at startup" option :yepp:
Why do that if RT has a perfectly working scheduler for that purpose?Quote:

Great Work!!! :) And yes the utility needs to be in the Rivatuner's folder... ;)Quote:

sprintf(buf, "rivatuner.exe /ri%d,%s,%s\n", BUS_NUM, BUS_ADDR, REG_OFFSET");
rt_ret = system("buf");
switch(rt_ret) {
case 0: printf("Volterra VR detected\n");
goto next;
case 1: printf("Volterra VR not detected\n");
goto exit_fail;
}
next:
read_i2c_vr_reg(argv[0]);
...
exit_fail:
printf("You are unable to use this application because your hardware isn't supported\n");
return 1;
...
}
I just woke up so I'm still half asleep but something like that should work in theory. Unwinder would no doubt have return values :)
It's possible RT returns values, but it doesn't return them to the command line. If it did, i'd be able to get them using the following:Quote:

//String sMyPath = Environment.CurrentDirectory;
proc.StartInfo.FileName = "devcon.exe"; //name of file to run
proc.StartInfo.Arguments = " ";
proc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = true; //setup redirection
proc.StartInfo.UseShellExecute = false; //redirect from shell to
proc.StartInfo.CreateNoWindow = true; //hide shell
proc.Start();
String cmd_out = proc.StandardOutput.ReadToEnd();
MessageBox.Show(cmd_out);
The above example is a piece of code I used to make a GUI for devcon, which is a microsoft command line utility that lets you manipulate devices in your computer - basically device manager, but via command line. Instead of displaying the info at the command line prompt, the code redirects it into a string, and then I can parse it, to read status, find device id's ect. In the above example it just displays it in a messagebox. (i made the GUI to turn off devices in my laptop to extend battery live... it's a lot easier then going to device manager to disable them).
Unfortunately this is the way I have the GUI run rivatuner to set the voltage control registers, and it doesn't redirect anything for me to parse, cause it doesn't display the info in the dos box (command line). it displays it in it's own GUI (rivatuner).
Like I said, I'm n00b at programming. So if you have any visual C# examples that work to return RT value, i'll be glad to try to make it work.
Heh we all gotta learn from somewhere right. For Visual C# examples have you checked Windows Platform SDK? and MSDN Library that comes with Visual Studio 2008 (if using that)?Quote:

Personally I've never written anything in C#, even my C++ GUI abilities are poor, but I can write in C++ so so. Mostly I can write in C since it is more where I have spent my time learning.
Something weird is happening to me when I overclock and stability test after voltage adjustment. I have a XFX GTX280 XXX water cooled by my Coolit Boreas. I also have an awesome power supply, the Antec Signature 850. All temps are cool (water cooling). Power supply rails look good and don't really budge (even when stability testing).
I am using Furmark as suggested to test the voltage. After increasing the voltage to 1.30 and then running the Furmark stability test my computer shuts off. It doesn't even visually start the test yet and my computer powers down. It does not do this unless I increase the voltage. I noticed that the voltage regulator jumps to 92amps when starting the test. Is this normal for it to jump to such high amps? I played Crysis just to compare and it jumps to about 50 or 60 tops.
After I reduced the voltage to 1.25, the system doesn't shut off anymore... What do you guys think? Power Supply? Somekind of Voltage protection?
Hey, guys it's a chance for me tu use this voltage control from Rivatuner on a Palit 9600GSO 768MB, or it just for GTX series?:D
