Prerequisites

For AMD under Ubuntu:

sudo apt install --yes --quiet --quiet \
	libqt5x11extras5-dev \
qtbase5-dev \
libqt5x11extras5 \
libdrm-amdgpu1 \
libdrm-common \
libdrm-dev

For Nvidia under Ubuntu:

sudo apt install --yes --quiet --quiet \
	libqt5x11extras5-dev \
qtbase5-dev \
libqt5x11extras5 \
libdrm-amdgpu1 \
libdrm-common \
libdrm-dev \
nvidia-utils-440-server \
nvidia-settings \
libxnvctrl-dev

Requirements (nvidia)

  • Coolbits set to the value you want (31 for all functionality)

Installation (nvidia)

Compilation

NOTE: on some systems, qmake is linked to qt4-qmake. If qmake fails, run qmake-qt5 in place of qmake

git clone https://github.com/Lurkki14/tuxclocker
cd tuxclocker
qmake rojekti.pro
make
make install (installs into /opt/tuxclocker/bin)

Arch Linux

AUR package

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/tuxclocker/

Requirements (AMD)

  • amdgpu.ppfeaturemask boot paramter set to the value you want. To view the current value, run
printf "0x%08x\n" $(cat /sys/module/amdgpu/parameters/ppfeaturemask)

Example grub line (usually /etc/default/grub):

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet radeon.si_support=0 amdgpu.si_support=1 amdgpu.dpm=1 amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff"

After editing, update grub, usually

sudo update-grub

Installation (AMD)

Compilation

NOTE: on some, systems, qmake is linked to qt4-qmake. If qmake fails, run qmake-qt5 in place of qmake

git clone https://github.com/Lurkki14/tuxclocker
cd tuxclocker
git checkout pstatetest
qmake rojekti.pro
make
make install (installs into /opt/tuxclocker/bin)

NOTE: to use fancurves on the AMD version, you need to run as root.
