Re: [ANN] sgminer v5 - optimized X11/X13/NeoScrypt/Lyra2RE/etc. kernel-switch miner

I also have problems on 280x with high temps.
Can someone tell me how can this afterburner help to run my GPUs cooler? What can it do that I cannot with miner config or AMD Catalyst (--gpu-fan, --gpu-engine...)?

and what can you do with miner config actually ?
on my 280x, miner config can't set clocks lower, only higher,
but afterburner can, that trouble started with 14.6 drivers.
gpu-z will show you everything

why would I lower my clocks anyway?!

to lower the temperature?
lower clocks might give more hashes per watt in some cases.
for example when the bottleneck is the memory, or when higher clocks means higher voltage + higher temperature which means higher fan rotation speed which in turn means higher power draw. Some fans can take 10 or even 20 watts. That's why you should always use a power meter on your rigs.
