OC Rx 5700 Reset Voltage profile

Hello
I have a problem with radeon adrenalin when overclocking my red dragon rx 5700

the settings I have set are these

Core: 2000mhz
mem: 1850mhz
PL: + 20%
voltage: 1.071mv

as some of you know amd has limited overclocking on the 5700 (max 1850 on core and max 1860 on mem), so I used the "morepowrtool" software which is less invasive than a bios flash.

the problem is that every time I turn the pc off and on again the voltage resets and goes to 1.200mV for some strange reason that I cannot understand.

can anyone help me solve the problem?

 

It is a issue with the drivers

for most people it just resets to stock everytime

Afterburner now works well with overclcoking and the fan control so just use that

 

i tried to install msi afterburner (the latest beta version currently available) but it seems to go into conflict with adrenalin software and the fan control doesn't work(with MA)

i tried to use both
MA for voltage and frequency control and radeon software for fan control, but doing so the fans go crazy

 

I am not a beginner
I did an undervolt + overclock of the frequencies.

my GPU (red dragon rx 5700) had a very variable voltage (Auto), even under full load (under benchmark) around 1160 / 1200mV which is a huge voltage for 1750mhz / 1850mhz ..

so I reduced the voltage to 1100mV and I'm stable (no error or freeze) with 2000mhz on the core and 1850mhz on the memories ..
the problem is that every time I turn off the pc I am forced to reload the saved profile every time because it is brought back to 1200mV

i tried with MsiA. but the fans do not respond to its changes (for example if I put a speed at 50% the fans remain stationary at 0rpm)
and I can't find a compromise that allows me to have the parameters I have set and at the same time make a custom fan curve

 

you need to reset radeon software so the performance tuning is locked again so its disabled and do everything from afterburner

btw my stock voltage for 1750 is 1.086

it does 1975 at 1.100

I could get more but my card only has 1x 8pin power instead of the 2 on other cards

 

i have already tried, but BUT it still doesn't get fan speeds

 

Reinstall the drivers using ddu then

 

I'd go back to a older driver see how that behaves, 19.12.1 so pre-Adrenaline 2020 first just to rule out a driver and software issue here then up to something like 20.5.1 see if it holds and until you encounter driver problems if that's what it is.
Also check in the power configuration options for the OS that fast startup is disabled it conflicts with Wattman although this is a all or nothing issue where it flat out behaves as a GPU crash and reset everything to safe/default values.

For my own uses with Wattman while not always needed on each reboot I would load the Wattman XML profile in just to make sure the settings took because the program has it's issues, I would imagine More Power Tool being linked to this soft mod registry data loading similar overrides might encounter similar problems.


Sometimes the fan settings didn't quite take sometimes the voltage used defaults regardless of settings here other times it ignored GPU clock state changes it's kinda prone to issues but the last few drivers felt like they worked pretty well I didn't use anything much though before I swapped to the 6800 now.

Curves and all but trying to hit 1950 Mhz GPU clock speed so 1900 effective at 1.1v giving a bit of a margin for issues though 1.050v might have worked.
+20% wattage for the fun of it though 10% is enough to reliably hit 1900 speeds. (Default was limiting speeds to 1800 - 1850 so not the best binned GPU die here.)
Memory left alone although enabled even if it was defaulted and for the fan speed keeping a higher speed and lower resulting temperature even if it's a little bit noisier.



EDIT: As to Afterburner if AMD stopped tinkering or changing up the Overdrive and Powerplay data for various drivers and GPU generations that's probably help out compatibility immensely and retain full functionality with third party tools.

Not sure how things are at the moment 4.6.3b4 and Rivatuner 7.3.0b9 I think?
Ampere / NVIDIA should be supported.
Navi20 / AMD is pending I believe.

Assuming the 20.11.x or newer drivers didn't break anything hopefully the latest stable or if required latest beta of Afterburner retains support for Navi10 still.

Think the fan settings can be applied forcibly but there's quirks with Wattman here what's available when it's on auto versus manual and taking effect mostly only under active 3D GPU workloads so not idle or movie playback and such states.

Also something that worked until 19.12.2 / Adrenaline 2020 and the major changes here.

Speaking of that you'd really want a newer driver after testing what works on a older set.
April and May 2020 drivers started sorting out several problems with Navi10 and the Adrenaline 2020 drivers though this got started in the late January and February driver updates too.

Newer is better even with some quirks the stability and other fixes and compatibility and all the other updates and improvements are kinda really useful.

Regressions for Vega and Polaris and the Radeon VII are going a bit back and forth though but for Navi10 these updates are really really important.
(Course I hit all the problems initially so I really don't like the early drivers for this card as a result. )

 

maaaan now workkkkkkkk thanksss <3 <3

new stable settings:

Voltage 1.075mV
PL: +20%
Core: 2000mhz
mem: 1850mhz

obviously I will have to do further tests, but for the moment there are no errors

max temp: 59°C temp jun: 80°

 

Glad you fixed it mate

 

Just a question, i have a 5700 XT and im trying to make afterburner work, i disabled the AMD Software (overclocking) and im trying to use only afterburner, everything is working fine except FANS, i cant set a custom curve fan, if i set it my screen do not stop flickering all the time.

If i set it manual it work perfect.

There's only way to fix it?

Thanks

 

it's more or less the same problem I was having (except flicker).
I solved it thanks to the advice of Passus ..
to make Msi afterburner work correctly uninstall the Chipset drivers and amd software (from the windows control panel), then start the windows safe mode and use DDU

done this reinstall the latest chipset and gpu drivers.
REMEMBER: once you have installed the Radeon software you must not accept the warnings that appear when you access the "Performance"> "optimization" page (you simply must never click "Accept")

install Msi afterburner (the latest beta version) and everything should work fine


as for overclocking, I had to use "More Power Tool" software to unlock higher frequencies (they are locked at 1850mhz on the Rx 5700), but it seems that MSi Afterburner can also do it via settings (but I don't know if it works with Rx 5700 series cards)

 

Ye, i did that.

DDU, installed drivers, didnt open the Overclock tab.

Everything is working, fan is working in AUTO without flickering.

The problem is when i set 1 CUSTOM FAN edited by me.

Its just cause i dont like that "auto" from AMD, card with 70ºC and default fan speed is like 30%.

 

Msi Afterburner's "Auto" option does not indicate the fans are using AMD's setting. "auto" mode indicates that the fans use a dynamic curve, if you disable the "auto" key you switch to "static" mode.
ie the card will always have the same speed.

therefore the Auto key must remain active, even if you are using a custom curve(like me)


EDIT: just make sure you don't go below 40% (fan speed) because for some weird reason the Rx 5700 bios doesn't allow you to go below 40% (by default) and if you do it with msi afterburner it could mess up the speeds or freeze the fans under load (I have done a hundred tests and if you don't go below 40% you will never have this problem)

 

Im using 4.6.3 Beta 2.

Problems:

1 - If i set CUSTOM FAN CURVE without overclock my Memory it works perfectly without flickering.
2 - If i set CUSTOM FAN CURVE with more than 1750Mhz (default) cause flickering at desktop and gaming.
3- If i dont use CUSTOM CURVE, using just MANUAL or AUTO fan speed everything is working perfect.

Jesus... i cant understand this software...

 

what do you mean by flicker?
graphic artifacts?

the fan speed does not affect the performance of the memory or the graphics card in general (obviously if we do not consider the temperature) ... check the voltage of the card (with msi afterburner)

go to settings> general
and toggle on "unlock voltage control" and "unlock voltage monitoring"

do apply and post a screenshot of msi afterburner here

 

My voltage is completly fine, im using the same values as i used at AMD Software.



I undervolted it to 1,075v 2000 core and 1850 Memory with 50%.

With AMD software everything works perfect and i can set a custom fan curve.

The problem with AMD Software its just that sometimes it reset all the settings for no reason (after reboots or sleeps) and i have to reload my profile.

My only problem with Afterburner is that i cant set a custom fan profile, my screen start flickering (screen just flash every 10/15 sec).

I think its some conflct with memory overclock and custom fan curve, because like i said before, when i dont overclock my memory it works.

Its really weird :/
