Getting Rivatuner Hardware Monitor to work with X1900xtx

R520 = 7100h,7103h-710Fh,7249h

Hardware monitoring for your X1900 will now work.

Funny thing, I don't think too many people know about this at all. But yes, it works
This is a better monitor then ATI Tool or the rest as it can show a progression of how hot your xt/xtx gets as well tell you the voltage. Something I sorely missed when testing for better clocks.
Thanks to ManicOne over at {H} for the info...

If only rivatuner was still maintained. Very solid piece of software, not to knock w1zzards efforts, but they do come across as a bit hackish.

good find...... added to my frontpage.

this is a temp fix until they release the next version...when will that be?? Can you tell me??

 

[SuperFarStucker]

My guess is never. The project has been defunct since november of last year.

edit: I did some digging and apparently the maintainer (just one guy) is working on a new version to add support for the 7900 series (presumably x1900 as well) along with a major overhaul of other things. It's just one guy and apparently other things are taking up his time ATM so it is no surprise it is slow going.

wow, it appears you ca do a whole lot more then just monitor temps with this...

 

[HousERaT]

such as?

 

[ECH]

such as?

options are now available to overclock and to adjust fan speed. Options that were not available before. I have not enabled them...

 

[HousERaT]

perhaps all it took was a reboot? pleasant surprise either way.
