As Matthias mentioned, we downclock engine only. Ideally we should downclock memory and power off some chipsets.
Anyway, you should see some difference. Can you attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log so we can be sure you used right version of radeonhd and right options?
Rafał,
Sure, I'm more than happy to. The Xorg.0, Xorg.1, and xorg.conf are attached. In case they don't come through, I've also posted them on my site in the following directory:
http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/radeonhd/downclock/
In your Xorg.0.logs there is no info about seeing Option "ForceLowPowerMode" line. Don't understand that. Does file you attached was located in /etc/X11/xorg.conf? That's the file Xorg.0.log seems to use.

Rafał, I have swapped drives again and updated all of the files in: http://www.3111skyline.com/download/linux/radeonhd/downclock/ Note: I added a timestamp to the end of the filenames so they won't get overwritten. Example: 15:18 nirvana:/srv/www/download/linux/radeonhd/downclock> ls -1 Xorg.0.log.20151550 Xorg.0.log.old.20151550 Xorg.1.log.20151550 Xorg.1.log.old.20151550 xorg.conf.20151550 The log now shows that ForceLowPowerMode was used to set the clock at 100000 Mhz. The heat is reduced, but not by as much as I had hoped. Originally I had tried to set "LowPowerModeEngineClock" "50000", but when X started, the screen was wildly distorted and "stretched?" so that the kdm login was at the far right side of the screen. Can I just pick a number that isn't a direct multiple/factor of the full power clock of say 70000? Funny, I don't notice any performance difference between the clock at 400000 or 100000. Let me know what else I can send you. Thanks again! -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
