@galaxySuser: I'm pretty new to the game too, so I have more empathy than knowledge but perhaps that will be helpful.

The ADL issues are discussed at length here and on github, there's a lot to wrap one's head around; here are the basic issues as I understand them --

- When you're compiling, you have to copy the libraries into .../sgminer-gm/ADL_SDK (there's a readme file in there that explains)
- Personally I haven't found that the temp monitoring works from console (either under AMDGPU-PRO or fglrx)
- Temp monitoring works just fine for me in the graphical environment running fglrx, but there have been issues with AMDGPU-PRO, for example ADL and OpenCL sometimes disagree about which graphics card is which.  

The developers are working on it, and there are solutions (scroll up a bit) but keep in mind there are a mind-boggling number of moving parts here, mostly coming from the fact that Radeon woke up one morning about three months ago and found out their drivers were incompatible with pretty much every linux distro in the world.  Right about the time the RX 400 series hit the market. Legacy support is really good right now, but 400 series support is still a work in progress.

For a casual hobbyist, there's an argument I think for 2nd or 3rd gen cards running under xubuntu 14.04 and fglrx, closest thing to hitting the easy button there is.  With the 400 series, good news is, they hash OK with low power use right out of the box.  Bad news is, to squeeze the most out of them, you have to bring anywhere from some, to a heck of a lot of expertise to the table depending on what equipment you're using.  

Me, I bought a bunch of fans.  Seems to be working.


@citronik:  hey, not bad.  I am surprised.  Still haven't cracked 600.  Getting close tho.  I get the feeling it's about architecture, quality of components, and memory timing.  Not sure I'm gonna make much more headway until I optimize the timing.  Clock speed seems like kind of a blunt instrument.
