Try the program CoreCtrl, IMHO it works quite well and is easy to use.

@Helix @MoreCoffee Been using #CoreCtrl a few months now and gotta say, it's very nice and gets the job done.
What are you attempting to set mclk /voltage to, and what are you using on Windows? (If you're uaing an AIB model GPU, could I also get the OOTB settings as well?)
Windows:
mclk: 2650
clk: 3000
voltage: 1020
power limit: 15%
Linux LACT settings:
mclk: 1325
clk: 3000
voltage offset: -80
power limit: 333w
It's a powercolor hellhound 7900xt.

OD_SCLK:
0: 500Mhz
1: 2815Mhz
OD_MCLK:
0: 97Mhz
1: 1250MHz
OD_VDDGFX_OFFSET:

OD_RANGE:

Could you tell us which distro + mesa? If I understand correctly, your state 1 mclk of 2500 MHz is stable on Linux, but pushing it to 2650 (as set on Windows) causes instability?
If so, could you tell us which Adrenalin version you're using? The voltage floor for NV31 has sort of shifted since release; several users have found that their previously stable OC's will no longer pass vulkan memory test (for example) on 23.20 and newer. Seems to be particularly noticable with AIB models as they can have substantially higher clocks than MBA ASICs.
Fedora 39 + Mesa 23.3.2. Yea, the mclk is stable at 2500mhz default and even increasing it say 50mhz seems to cause flickering, that will sometimes go away then come back. Adrenaline version is latest, 23.12.1.
How far are you able to take mclk in Fedora without any voltage offset?
Does 1020 mV pass Vulkan memory test in Windows?
Basically no increase with default voltage either. If I bump mclk +10 it starts to flicker. Set it back to 1250 and no more flickering. I will have to test that on windows when I get some time.
huh, interesting. is the flickering like an intermittent white flash?
Also - sounds good.
I just tested memtest_vulkan on linux, everything default but set Mclk to 1300, and it passed. But, there was still some flickering, not non-stop, but every once in a while I would get a flicker.
Is this with a single display? Do you think you could capture a video of this flicker?
I've got 3 displays. I just noticed something interesting; if I apply my settings in LACT I notice some flicker, if I then logout of my gnome session and relogin it seems fine, no flickering yet. I'll do some more testing.
