How to add unsupported cards

[Mikecdm]

Anything for 290x Lightning, since I don't have ABX?

 

I hope this is the info you need. You probably already have access to one though.

try 780L profile

[Mikecdm]

i can give it a try, no adverse effects right? Didn't want to load a profile and kill the card. First time actually using this thing.

[zzolio]

there is no danger

but you can check out the vrm controller they used

it should be chl8318 for vcore

[Mikecdm]

it uses ir3567b

 

[zzolio]

then evc is a no go for now

[zzolio]

cant you get an ABX from msi

[elmor]

IR3567B should be similar to the CHL controllers. I'll try to get the full datasheet somehow.

 

Mike: Could you try the 7870 HAWK profile on the 290X? I think just checking the monitoring output would be enough.

[Mikecdm]

7870 hawk profile works great. Monitoring output shows different than dmm, but not a big deal

 

Did some more testing. It seems that vgpu can only go up to 1.5v. With 1.5v on evc set, it shows 1.488v on dmm at idle. Under load it drops a lot. vmem is in fact pll. The pll setting does nothing.

 

When applying trying to apply over 1.5v vgpu, it doesn't apply any more and eventually crashes evc drivers. It will show in corner as device not connected and even in device manager it does not show up anymore.

Did anyone notice that CHL8318 and ASP1212 are exactly the same? ASP1212 is on 780Ti DC2 for example. Think they just rebranded it.

Compare the datasheets:

 

http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/pb-chl8318.pdf

http://www.irf.com/product-info/datasheets/data/pb-asp1212.pdf

 

So the ASP1212 should be already working with a CHL8318 profile (or at least be very easily to add ) right?

I just tried this on the 780 lightning profile and 680/770 profile and it does not work for me with 780Ti DC2.

 

This is what scanning the card shows.

Try this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pbzyim94am9tfnu/eVc%20v1b4%20-%20780dc2test1.exe (ASUS 780Ti DC2 profile)

[Mikecdm]

Strange thing, I can't get that file to work. The .exe doesn't open, same thing happened to me earlier with the ocp version you uploaded earlier.

[elmor]

You need to put the file in the same folder as LibUsbDotNet.dll which is available in this release http://elmor.se/files/eVc_v1b3.zip

[Mikecdm]

I feel stupid now, lol. It works fine after putting it in the right folder. Adjusting gpu voltage works too. Is it possible to add vmem and pll? Thanks for getting the vcore working though.

[elmor]

No worries, easy mistake. I believe there's no digital control available for vmem/pll, there's another chip but I'm not sure what it's for. You could try this to get some data:

 

Go to Menu and select Register scan. Enter:

 

Device address 0x0C

Register start 0x1

Register end 0xFF

 

Run it and send the log to me.

[Mikecdm]

I get an error, pop up message.

 

SMB read failed at Register 0x01

 

This is all file shows..

[elmor]

Hmm, strange. You can find 0x0C in the list of addresses?

[zeropluszero]

Hmm, no I2C control meaning there's probably a current source/sink chip with such an interface connected to it. Are there any other ic's around?

 

there are a couple of other ics

AGB015

and

UP6306U-05 EGP9AU

UP6306U-05 EGP9AU

 

Can't find any public data on them. UP6306 should be a multi phase VRM controller for memory. You could try if it works with the same procedure as on UP62xx with the version below.

john i try evc on 4870x2! work fine but max real vcore is at 1,45v...what can i do??

 

i use SVID mode! the first volt is for 2d and the second for 3d!

 

thanks

I got some reports that there's a maximum voltage limit using some VT1165 controllers, not sure how to change that. I'll look into it and get back to you.

[Guest barbonenet]

notthing, i do a normal vmod....thanks;)

[riska]

The voltarre chip on the 4870x2 can delliver more than 1.55v i had a bios for the Card once that gave the Card 1.55v stock 3d and when moving 2 small smd resitors on each controller allowed up to 1.75v with that bios

[Guest barbonenet]

thanks....today i make vmod, and now i have 1,6 - 1,65.....but with evc, volt don't increase over 1,45v!

 

if you have a special bios, please send me it;)
