[Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

My laptop is an ASUS K50AB with an HD 4570 (mobility).  Under Windows or using catalyst, my videocard behaves properly, running with reasonable temperatures even under load.  However, since I'm using Gnome 3/Shell I have to use an open source driver (unless something changed recently).

radeon-pci-0100
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +87.0°C

With it running at this temperature and above, I get small bits of "static" appearing all over the screen and I'm slowly killing my 4570.


Also, before you suggest it, I have cleaned out the vents and even replaced the thermal paste.

As you can see here, the other temp sensors are withing safe limits.

acpitz-virtual-0
Adapter: Virtual device
temp1:        +65.0°C  (crit = +105.0°C)

k10temp-pci-00c3
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +72.8°C  (high = +70.0°C)
                       (crit = +115.0°C, hyst = +110.0°C)

EDIT:  If I start without KMS, no overheating (and no acceleration either since Gnome Shell defaults to its gnome2 appearance)

Currently, the temp is at 73C in Windows.

Re: [Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

Have you looked at the power saving section on the wiki? The open source driver on default has the card running at max clock I believe.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ATI#Powersaving

None of the options here seem to do anything, temps and clocks remain the same regardless if I use the dynamic, profile, or xorg.conf method.

Is my card is not being recognized properly?

Even wierder: I used the GUI profile switcher in the wiki.  The card DOES repond and change frequencies.  Despite this, the temperatures are still too high and I get artifacts everywhere.  I'm starting to think that it may be using incorrect voltage values.

Re: [Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

More new information:  Using the unsupported (and buggy) radeonhd driver works with accel.  It just crashes xorg randomly so, unusable.

I ruled out voltage issues as the system reports them at their normal values.  I think it's now an issues with the ati driver.


Installing catalyst gives me a desktop...with a rainbow-colored top bar.  Despite the rendering issues (so far only the top bar is affected), the shell functions like it should.



Does anyone know what could be wrong with the ati package?

Re: [Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

Just reinstalled with the x86 version, to see if it was an x64 issue.  Apparently not.  Graphical corruption and abnormal temperatures are unchanged.

With 240+ views on this thread, no one has ANY idea what's going on?  Am I the only one that has this issue?

I had a similar overheating problem and had to install catalyst:

Re: [Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

wiki method works for me (I have hd 3450 on pc and mobility radeon hd 5470 on laptop ).
but non of them is really practical for daily use. so actually I'm using catalyst for my laptop.

cat /sys/kernel/debug/dri/0/radeon_pm_info # use this to check.

echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method # dynamic, but cause flicker as wiki says.
echo profile > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method  # default one, actually always high for me
echo auto > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method  # ac on-> high ac off-> mid (... the most useful one, but still cannot solve heat)
echo low >  /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method # seems no problem of heat, but quite lag for my kde.

Re: [Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

Interestingly enough, I complied a custom kernel without KMS enabled by default and I was able to get into my desktop without overheating and corruption.  I wonder why passing nomodeset disabled any acceleration on the -ARCH kernel... The only problem now (it seems)  is that it was like watching a slideshow when trying to use the mouse.

I'll investigate more later.

Here's a video that, hopefully, explains this a little better.

Re: [Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

I've got exactly the same problem with HD 4570 on an Aspire 5536g. But I don't think these artifacts are caused of overheating, they appear on startup and always with different intensity. Randomly on some boot ups I have no stripes at all and it appears they don't affect the graphics performance at all. So it seems to be a nasty visual bug in the current radeon drivers/xorg?

Re: [Patched]Open source ATi drivers cause my videocard to overheat?

This bug https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31000 describes, what is the problem at the moment, with the open source AMD graphic driver. No solution to the overheating / fan issue is in sight. My AMD notebook suffers from the same problem. With Catalyst drivers it's cool. With FLOSS AMD drivers - it's burning hot, even in power mode - and killing softly the graphics card.

I seem to have no graphic artifacts with kernels <= 2.6.37-5.
As with the overheating - did you try 

echo dynpm > /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_method

?
I'm with the same graphics card and I get no flicker at all.

Hmm...I'll try rolling back the kernel to see if it goes away.

I'm confirming this.  I just built a Zen patched 2.6.36 kernel and I have no graphical corruption.  I did have to mess with the power management as it was running a little on the hot side.

So, something changed in the 2.6.38 kernel that messed it all up.
