Re: CGMINER CPU/GPU miner, GPU overclock+monitor+fanspeed in C for linux/windows/osx
The new GPU features are awesome! A few suggestions/requests:
1) Dual GPU cards don't get adjusted/disabled correctly. For example, a 5970 will only disable the one GPU that has the temp sensor:
2) It'd be awesome if cgminer would record the current clocks on startup, and restore them on exit if the auto tuning changed them at all.
3) Pressing "G" when you have more than a couple of cards makes it impossible to read the output, because the window the output is displayed to is too small unless you have a HUGE screen.
4) I'd love a way to specify different temperature thresholds per GPU on the command line. If I have different model cards in there, they have different points where they're happy. 5770s get crashy above 90-95, where 5970 and 6990 cards idle near there at times.
5) My ideal dream would be a way of somehow saying "Any 5970 cards you see, set the temperature thresholds to X/Y, the voltage to Z, etc. Any 5770 cards, the temperature threshold is..." so that I don't have to look up which cards are in which system, just to pass that along to cgminer.
6) Temperatures >100C should be allowed, no matter how bad of an idea that sounds. We have some cards that go up to 105-107C without issue.
7) Specifying an overclock/underclock range that cgminer is allowed to adjust the clock in would be handy.
One step further, having it attempt to determine (maybe even saved into a local file) how high the clock was able to go without problems, and self-tuning the max clock rate while under the threshold temperature.

Code:
GPU 3: [80.5 C] [DISABLED /78.5 Mh/s] [Q:2 A:11 R:1 HW:0 E:550% U:1.81/m]
GPU 4: [327.3/324.5 Mh/s] [Q:25 A:23 R:1 HW:0 E:92% U:3.78/m]
