ATI Clock settings - CCC - Help!!

Reece · 07-10-11, 05:44 AM

This is driving me insane, a whole day and I'm back to start!

First off I installed latest driver and Tray Tools, only to discover that the fan speed is no longer changeable even so I set it up and got the new 6850 card overclocking, not great but not bad:

However I was still peeved with not being able to change the fan speed so I decided to uninstall Tray Tools and install the CCC, I can change the fan speed to manual but the clock speeds are crazy:

Before I uninstalled Tray tools I made sure I set clocks back to default.
Why does it show current values at 300mhz especially on both?
Why doesn't it reflect the values above that have been applied?
Why does the memory for Tray Tools hover around 4,500mhz but the CCC is around 1050mhz?
This is very confusing!!!

Driver uses settings created by CCC, so it's not recommended not to install CCC.
Your CCC is an old version? You must use same versions...

Your clocks are 2D-clocks. Only when you enter 3D-mode will clocks speed up to your profile settings.

Stay away from Tray Tools btw...

I would use the Uninstall All AMD Option in Add/Remove programs and do a fresh install of latest AMD driver and CCC.

Believe it or not that is version 11.6, installed from this file:
11-6_xp32_dd_ccc_ocl.exe from http://sites.amd.com/us/game/downloa...eon_xp-32.aspx
In device manager driver version for the card:

Driver Date 24/05/2011
Driver Version 8.861.0.0

I have since removed it, certainly there is something wrong because the functions are erratic!
All I am running at the moment is the latest driver (presumably) and Trixx.

I believe the card is functioning well it is just that fan control has changed and I'm getting confused between 2D and 3D clocks!!

Edit:
Re-installed it:

Maybe you are running Win 7 and is a lot different than XP.

That's it!

Win 7 is completely different...

Btw. the 4200MHz mem speed is calculated effective mem speed (QDR RAM) = 1050 x 4 = 4200 MHz... kinda useless imho

If you like to OC, have a look at MSI Afterburner. Cool features, among other things a superior alternative to Fraps!

I think I read somewhere about issues with fan speed when OC'ing, but can't locate it... typical. Will report back, if I find it again.

Yes I might have to try it, Trixx seems to work with custom and love this setting until you minimize Trixx, then it stops!! resore it and starts working again!!

I think there is a clash with CCC v11.6!

Edit:
Now MSI Afterburner seems to work well with the fan speed control and even able to monitor the core temperature on the task bar, but wouldn't you know it, the core voltage control doesn't work even though it is enabled in preferences! I might have to just live with lower OC speeds!

just curious, but how much exactly do you gain/loose with/without your OC compared to stock?

From what I've seen, I'm more leaning towards it's not really worth the hassle to OC the GPU(s)... am I right?
