Turrican, maybe download is corrupted, please try this attachment.

hmm, the same error as before. strange..:confused:
Maybe it's something with my OS ? I use Windows XP SP1.

Edit:

i tried it on 3 different computers, but there is also the same error :confused:

same error also for me gyus :(

try it in 4 pc all with xp sp2

My error, compiler options :(

try this

http://avala.yubc.net/~lukija/clocktest.exe

this should work!

Just to repeat: start this program and simultaneosly change clock via clockgen and see if clockspeed changes.

hmm, now clocktest.exe works :) but still shows 2805mhz (255 HTT)

here's a screen

Thank you Turrican. This explains everything. I will write other method for clock measurement.

I'll be glad to help, where i can :) :toast:

OK, please try this one, it is less precise:

http://avala.yubc.net/~lukija/clocktest2.exe

I just found I have the same issue as Turrican where the change in clocks is not detected in A64Info

i had the same results with clocktest.exe, but clocktest2.exe worked perfectly and reported the change immediately :up:

Great. I have also managed to reproduce this issue. It is related to so called performance counters under Windows. You can try CrystalCPUID, press F8 or F9 after you change clock via clockgen, see what happens.

nothing :shrug:
CrystalCPUID seems to only detect the change if I refresh it using f6 or f7

OK, this will be implemented in next release.

same here. only F5 & F6 & F7 works :stick:


F5.....Refresh [QPC+MMT]
F6.....Refresh [WT]
F7.....Refresh [MMT]
F8.....Refresh [QPC]
F9.....Refresh QPC (No Load)]

F8 and F9 use query performance counter functions, which have some issues. It is precise and accurate but it depends on hardware, so I find it not reliable, as it has proven. Bottom line, one mistery solved, now it is time to fix program using different techniques.

P.S. Thank you all for help.

GL lukija, and thnx for the great tool :)

Great tool indeed. I have noticed the problem with refresh stated above only occasionally. It doesn't seem to happen all the time though which confuses me. Thanks for the great work on it and can't wait to see the new rev with clocking abilities added in :)

Yeah, Lukija, keep up the great work! I have been using your proggy from the start, so look forward to every new version...

OK guys, i will be out for a couple of days, lot of things have to be done. Thank you all for feedback.

OK, beta again, consider it still not fully tested.

http://avala.yubc.net/~lukija/A64Info-beta.exe

- some bugfixes (overclock ratio was calculated wrong, multiplier detection was wrong in some cases)
- differenet method for clock measurement, less accurate but it should be more reliable, refresh period is 2 seconds.

- loading / saving settings , this is new stuff, if it happens to work OK, I will explain how can one tweak parameters not shown by A64Info. Also I will explain how can you make preset to tweak only one parameter (or more of them) using settings file and AMD documentation (this is for hardcore overclokers ;). Here is an example:

http://avala.yubc.net/~lukija/odc.set

Load this set and it wil set Odd Divisor Correct, other parameters will not be changed.

- loading at startup is done via registry. Just load preset (you don't have to apply it, although you can) and click Add to startup. Also you can remove it. Beware, if you load preset that locks your PC, run in safe mode , run regedit and go to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\Run

find key A64Info and delete it.

- CPU speed and memory speed are shown in DRAM dialog


Once again, this is beta, use it just for testing. Next thing to do is to add clock change for nF4 chipset. I think I have found something about that.

Downloaded :toast:

dled. Excellent work

Great work lukija. This time the clock measurement works perfectly :toast:
:woot:

Thanks lukija :toast:
seems to be working great so far :) :up:

Thanks guy. My favorite proggy...
