Corectrl/lact voltage controls unavailable

I have a Radeon 7800 XT and would like to undervolt it. I've tried both corectrl/lact and both only have access to power modes, power limit, and clocks. I have the amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff kernel flag set, and was able to undervolt in windows. Any ideas? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious.

Solution:

Hello I have 7800XT too and undervolting is only going to be supported in kernel 6.7. Then we will need to wait a bit for CoreCtl or Lact to take advantage of the new kernel.

does the kernel argument actually show up in rpm-ostree kargs?

Twice, apparently.

HikariKnight•13mo ago

lets probe it what features of the feature mask it actually supports printf 'amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0x%x\n' "$(($(cat /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask)))"

IcyOP•13mo ago

xuerian@core:/var/home/xuerian$ cat /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask 
0xffffffff

xuerian@core:/var/home/xuerian$ cat /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask 
0xffffffff

HikariKnight•13mo ago

as setting all of them to f is generally not a good idea if the card doesnt support said function

IcyOP•13mo ago

amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff as the formatted version.

HikariKnight•13mo ago

then its weird that it does not work corectrl is layered right?

IcyOP•13mo ago

Yeah

HikariKnight•13mo ago

not really sure why it does not work then my rx6600 XT has the options

IcyOP•13mo ago

Well, I do appreciate you sanity checking me

HikariKnight•13mo ago

i would remove the duplicate entry though at least

IcyOP•13mo ago

Yeah, trying that now.

HikariKnight•13mo ago

i have to head off now though as it is late we use rpm-ostree kargs --append-if-missing= when we add kargs as that will avoid duplicates 🙂 so maybe worth adding with that once you have removed the feature masks i will check back in the thread if there is any new info when i get on the pc tomorrow

IcyOP•13mo ago

Yeah, tbh I'm not sure how I added them and got two initially. I'm removing it via --editor. And good luck with the new build! 🙂

HikariKnight•13mo ago

which build? it is just late and i am going to bed haha

IcyOP•13mo ago

Ah. My brain somehow got "when I [..] new pc tomorrow"

HikariKnight•13mo ago

IcyOP•13mo ago

🤷

HikariKnight•13mo ago

the new htpc was built months ago, so lets just say you were late with the good luck 😛 think i built it in the end of november but thanks 😄

Kyle Gospo•13mo ago

This works for me on a 6900 xt Same ppu setting

didn't seem to make a difference. Whelp. Also, I have a 7800XT, I'm not sure how I ended up writing a 5700 😐

Oh, glad to know I’m not crazy. Thanks!
