Title: Overlocking / Undervolting AMD GPU (and maybe CPU)

Hey Guys, I am new to desktop Linux in general, I was administrator of a couple of Linux servers a couple of years ago, so I am familiar with Linux in general, but overclocking and stuff especially GPUs was never something I had to deal with in that context.

I was used to use MSI afterburner on Windows, to set custom fan curves and undervolt and overclock my GPU. I believe that the CPU isn't bottlenecking my gaming that is why I am focused on the GPU.

I am looking for guides how to go about this. I have an AMD Vega64 with MESA drivers (which was already an improvement over the AMD drivers, Dota2 was crashing quite frequent before I made the switch) and an Ryzen 2700x.
The distro I use is Pop!_OS 19.10.

I am quite happy with Pop!_OS but I would switch if that would make things easier. But since its based on Ubuntu there weren't to many difficulties fining what I needed in the past.

Hopefully this is the right place for this question, I was searching for Overclocking in this forum, but there were 0 results. For me overclocking is part of my gamer lifestyle, together with building my own PC. Now switching to Linux was the next step, taking more charge over my software, I thought that this would give me more control over my hardware as well, but sadly easy tasks on windows have proven quite difficult on Linux when it comes to hardware.

Thank You in advance! I appreciate all help

Thanks,

I am still on it. It isn't as straight forward as I thought.

I am currently stuck in building the marazmista/radeon-profile app.
the QT5 thing is beyond me. I looked if I have the lib, and it appeared so, but it didnt work, then I went and stalled the QT5 thing from their homepage, still nothing and now I am not sure if I even had to do that.

Do you have a guide for how to build stuff like that on Ubuntu?

thanks!

Thanks,

I checked the dependencies and I think I got all of them, but I guess installing them again wouldn't hurt?

I try it later this week.

thank you very much

Thanks for the help I appreciate it a lot!

I want to learn and get better with my linux skills that is partly why I want to build it myself.

qmake: could not find a Qt installation of ''

is the response I get and I am not sure what it wants. I figured it doesnt find the file it should interact with?

I am in the Git/radeon-profile/radeon-profile directory.

ok I found a solution on Stackoverflow!
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/16607003/qmake-could-not-find-a-qt-installation-of

I think I build it now!
but an awkward question now, how do I run it?
I looked with ls, but there is no executable file.
