Working: 4870 Overclocking with GPU-Z + Fan Speed Fix

[Oclock21]

I haven't seen a fix for this out there yet so here's how:

In the .xml file you needed to edit for the fan speed fix, simply remove the following section:

<Feature name="CoreClockTarget_0">
<Property name="Want_0" value="50000" />
<Property name="Want_1" value="50000" />
<Property name="Want_2" value="75000" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="MemoryClockTarget_0">
<Property name="Want_0" value="90000" />
<Property name="Want_1" value="90000" />
<Property name="Want_2" value="90000" />
</Feature>


When you set your core and memory in GPU-Z the fan will default back to the defaults. Activate your new profile with the above change and your fan will speed up and leave the overclock untouched. Enjoy!

Now lets see some 4870 overclocking!

Hmm 1 post only, I'm not trying that until I get the approval from other members here lol No pun intended

I'm using WinXP and it works flawlessly. It's a CCC profile setting which would normally be blank if you didn't enabe Overdrive; you're just taking away the clock presets as if Overdrive wasn't enabled.

Doesn't work for me.

[annihilat0r]

WTF, it just worked this time

[annihilat0r]

No, I was kidding. It doesn't work! I don't want to flash the BIOS!! ARRRR

[erocker]

GPU-Z? Do you mean AMD clock tool? Doesn't work for me...

[painkilla]

i does work for me hurray :P HR-03 GT is already on the way so dont really care that much

[erocker]

So I finally got 100% fan speed and non-CCC overclocking... I pulled the blue-wire..

24/7 its going to kill your ears, why would you do that? other than the fact that you can, lol.

[erocker]

Lol, it's just for benching, and I'll be honest... Benching lasted no more than five minutes, the fan was driving me loony.

How do you overclock with GPU-Z??

Sorry guys, wrong title. The fix is with AMD Clock tool and the fan speed fix.

It may only work with the hotfix drivers (not the 8.7betas) but I cannot confirm. I am definitely using the hotfix ones though.

Not sure what the issue is if it's not working. Here is my 40% fan speed CCC profile for people to try. You can try to copy-paste over your CCC profile with this minus the last five lines (where it starts with "name="PCI_VEN_1002&amp..."). Leave that part from your original CCC profile there.

<Profile>
<Caste name="Graphics">
<Groups>
<Group name="Overdrive5">
<Feature name="TimeUnlocked" />
<Feature name="OverclockEnabled">
<Property name="OverclockEnabledProperty" value="True" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedProtocol_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedProtocolProperty" value="Percent" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedAlgorithm_0">
<Property name="FanSpeedAlgorithm" value="Manual" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedRPMTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="0" />
</Feature>
<Feature name="FanSpeedPercentTarget_0">
<Property name="Want" value="40" />
</Feature>
</Group>
</Groups>
<Adapter name="PCI_VEN_1002&amp;DEV_9440&amp;SUBSYS_0502100 2&amp;REV_00_4&amp;196AFE53&amp;0&amp;0008A">
<Aspect name="Overdrive5" />
</Adapter>
</Caste>
</Profile>

Steps are:
1) Set the clock in AMD GPU clock
2) Activate the above profile from right-clicking the ATI icon on the task bar.

This DOES work.

It doesn't work for me above 790/1100 (standard overdrive limit). In such case the fan goes back to BIOS settings.

[erocker]

It works for me!! Thank you! The key must be using the ccc icon in the taskbar. I didn't have to delete the voltage settings in the profile though..

It works for me!! Thank you! The key must be using the ccc icon in the taskbar.

Why so? You are running the same code.....

[erocker]

Same code? I know if I try to enable the profile in directly in CCC after OC'ing it doesn't work, via the taskbar, it does... I'm using AMD GPU clock tool to overclock.
