NATIVE OverClocking NVIDIA
Driver Version 416.34
Anyone notice that while using this feature the gpu core will be throttled well before the fans move to 100%.
Example
Set Temp limit to 65c fan speed auto.
AM will maintain that temp.
Gpu Fan will speed will not go up to 100% because temp is maintained due to throttling Core.
If I move fan speed to 100% remove auto fan Gpu core goes back up and drastically improves hash rate. (20%-30% improvement)
Maybe Im missing something please let me know if I am.
AMD clocking is great because it has the fan target temp and temp Limit
I do not have that problem. Native OC is perfect for me.
What drivers are you using?
what are you describing is not a bug, it's meant to be that way with NVIDIA GPUs. the temp limit sets the max temperature for a GPU, after reaching that temp the core will throttle, but it does not affect the fan curve in any way. maybe some day Awesome Miner will have its own fan control with desired fan speed/temp tables or curves, but for now you should disable automatic fan speed and set your fans to 90-100%, or use MSI Afterburner to set your custom fan curve.
@patrike besides that I would suggest adding core voltage lock to NVIDIA clocking profiles. that should be easy to implement, with just one NvAPI call.
also I've found a bug with native OC on mixed AMD/NVIDIA rigs - in my case, when applying the profiles for AMD GPUs, some of them like fan speed, fan mode and power limit are applied to NVIDIAs as well.
Thank you I figured it was normal and I have been using AB just for the fan curve but hoping this can be addressed so we dont need AB. As for amd I notice odd behavior if using latest drivers and have resorted back to ONTool on those rigs. But my AMD w driver 18.6.1 seem good. thanks for clarification.
