How to use ADL OverDrive Next API?

Hi, all have a quastion about ADL.

I need to get GPU temperature and I confused about API. For this purpose ADL has 3 diffent API version:

- ADL2_Overdrive5_Temperature_Get

- ADL2_Overdrive6_Temperature_Get

- ADL2_OverdriveN_Temperature_Get

I found than in samples appropriate function used based on the version which returns function:

int  ADL2_Overdrive_Caps (ADL_CONTEXT_HANDLE context, int iAdapterIndex, int *iSupported, int *iEnabled, int *iVersion).

What means last parameter exectly and why this 3 different API exist?

My guess, according to Radeon wiki page Radeon - Wikipedia  exist three GPU generations, and last generation calls Graphics Core Next-family (as well as OverDrive Next API !).

So API5 exist for Fixed-pipeline family, API6 for TeraScale-family, API Next for Graphics Core Next-family.

Or OverDrive Next API exist like unversion API which better don't use and which could be changed in future.

Please help...

Thanks...
