CoreCtrl app has entered maintenance mode with no new features coming https://www.gamingonlinux.com/2025/05/corectrl-app-has-entered-maintenance-mode-with-no-new-features-coming/
Folks with AMD RX 9070 and Linux: enable overdrive by adding this to your kernel arguments: amdgpu.ppfeaturemask=0xffffffff. Reboot so that the next steps are available.
Install CoreCtrl and in the System > Software tab, make sure you are on Mesa 25.1.0 and kernel 6.13.5+. In the Profiles tab, change Performance mode to Advanced, change the Power profile to 3D Fullscreen. Set voltage offset to -10mV and reduce the maximum memory MHz by 100MHz (yes, do it).
With the lower voltage, the GPU core clock will get closer to XT levels, and reducing the memory clock a tiny bit will make it stable. Your non XT will perform better, cooler and stable. Saw about 10-20fps more in Returnal with these settings!
PS: tested on Fedora 41, Gigabyte RX 9070 Gaming OC card.
So, #Fedora lasted 24 hours before succumbing to the exact same issue. (Part of the 24 hours was adapting some of my Ansible roles for RedHat based distros).
I also had an issue where my terminal would stop accepting any keyboard input except ENTER. (Wtf?) This was happening in Kitty but also in the native KDE terminal.
I then thought sod it, and fired up good old Debian 12 with Gnome ... and what do you know, it's the same issues!
I figure at this point, I'm cursed and I have some broken config. So, I rename by .zshrc file and reboot ... joy... the keyboard works! My shell no longer freezes!
Only now, I can't get #goverlay running, and #corectrl won't install.
As a last ditch effort, I wipe the system one more time and install #Mint 21.3 ... everything works. Everything. Goverlay, corectrl, gamemode, my shell, 1Passwords SSH agent ... all of it.
Anyone else noticed the colors on the screen changing when the frequency of their #Radeon #7800xt changes? Using #CoreCtrl on Linux I see it clearly, low frequencies -> yellowish colors, high frequencies -> normal colors.
Before I was using CoreCtrl the colors would change randomly when watching videos, very annoying.
I’ve also had green and black screens + reboots. Lowering the power limit to 200W seems to have helped a lot. But my 850W PSU should be more than enough.
