It is now about two years ago that I have developed a patch to set the TMDS frequency for Radeon cards. A similar patch for Nouveau and for the Windows ATI driver does already exist. The patch has been proven to work well in the long term at least with the Radeon R5 230 and the Radeon HD 6570. Other people have given positive reports as well (Radeon HD 6970, Radeon HD 6770, see: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=93885#c24) though not as extensively as John Reinhard with the HD 6570. Many cards do not show heat issues at all when overclocking the TMDS. - and even if a card did Nouveau developers have told me that it would hardly be possible to damage a card with this. The reason why Radeon developers did not want to assimilate it seems to be business interest as they have told me frankly. The patch is safe and has been proven useful (since then many people with positive experience have linked to my site) - so why do we not include it for Debian?
