Is there an example how to set the tdp? I have tried it in the default_command_file.json. But is doesn't start.
I have added this to the file  {"id":2,"method":"device.set.tdp","params":["0","60"]} but won't get it to work.

I experienced the same problem - it might be too low a value. Card probably cannot work at that level. Try 70 or 75.

This is how my file looks like :

[
   {"time":0,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.add","params":["equihash","equihash.EU.nicehash.com:3357","15pxxxHP.jslrig"]}
   ]},
   {"time":3,"commands":[
      {"id":2,"method":"device.set.tdp","params":["0","80"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.add","params":["0","0"]}
   ]},
   {"time":10,"loop":10,"commands":[
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["0"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"worker.print.speed","params":["1"]},
      {"id":1,"method":"algorithm.print.speeds","params":["0"]}
   ]}
]

It is still running at 100% tdp.

With the "old" 1.1.4a version I got it at 60% TDP drawing 90 Watts.

What I'm I doing wrong ?


Try using power_limit instead of tpd. Power_limit is in watts - I use 120 value, which gives me about 80% tpd on my 1070.
I found out the power_limit is more stable also, with no rejects and hardly ever restarts.
