Hello, idk if this is the right place for this kind of question, if not pls let me know :>
I’d like to overclock my GPU, and ran into an issue today. I use CoreCtrl for my OC on linux, and it seems like CoreCtrl is not able to tune up the Power Limit.
The GPU in question is an RX 590 Asus ROG Strix, with amdgpu as driver.
The slider is enabled and set to the max (in my case 277 watt), but i’ve observed that it never draws more than 175 Watt, which would be the standard setting for this card.
The setting for changing the clock work fine, and also monitoring (except that it doesn’t give me graph for gpu voltage, although the sensor exits and works fine with system monitor).
Current settings for the OC would be
1,6 GHz@1,16 V, no mem OC, Power Limit set to 277 W (not working)
So, is there a setting or kernel module that i have to enable to be able to change the power limit?
I know that my system is able to deliver more power stabely from my Windows overclock, so hardware shouldn’t be the issue.
thx very much to everyone in advance.

Edit 1:
found out about the sensors command. It shows the Power cap as 277 W, so CoreCtrl is doing something at least, but it somehow doesn’t get applied at gpu level? I don’t know.
