A64Info - New CPU ID and memory tweaking tool! - feedback welcome...

[flexy]

Yes I know about voltage. That's why I said It has no use (at least on my system). I can change it as much as I want but it makes no difference. Maybe someone else will find it usefull. Regarding temperature readings - this is just what CPU reports. My suggestion is to use some specialised monitoring tool (MBM, SpeedFan ...).

everything works, i just checked voltages, multi etc.

The point is if you dont have VID Ctrl on AUTO in bios you cannot do anything in Windows. If its on Auto then you can modify the VID on the fly in Windows. (or cool'n'quiet or rmclock, whatever

The only thing which does NOT work right is the CPU temp, A64info shows it as too high. Don't know how you read it...but i use mbm and the dfi-nf4 setttings for it.

Also..is there ANY way to implement a HTT-link multi slider ????

I am looking forever already for a tool where i can set all my stuff (A64info...yeah and ALSO the HTT link-freq, like 3x, 4x etc. for HTT.

Problem is almost NO tool has that option...so if i overclock my HTT to 330 or so and need to turn down my HTT-link to 3x (instead of 4x) i need another tool or set that from bios !

The temperature in A64Info for the most part is close to accurate. It is using the thermal sensor to report the temps just like CoreTemp is. MBM, the bios and most other programs are using the thermal diode. Although there doesn't seem to be any info available from AMD on the accuracy of the thermal sensor one can assume it to be fairly accurate. It is the sensor that the Thermtrip register uses to shut down the processor in case of overheating. On the other hand, AMD states in various white papers that the thermal diode should not be used for heat management control. They also state that the diode could have a margin of error as great as 14C. For the majority of processors it can be assumed that the thermal sensor, if not totally accurate, is closer to being correct then the thermal diode.

Praz, 10x for good explanation.

10x for explanation. I will try to reporduce it on my system.

Well, I allready told that, you should use specialised SW like MBM, SpeedFan whatever. This is just infromational, I think I will remove it becuase it brings only confusion.

I will check it out if it is possible.

A64Info is evolving into a must have program. It is now to the point of replacing most other single purpose programs. I think at times we fail to convey how appreciative we are of your hard work. But please, reconsider removing the thermal sensor information. Those that believe the thermal diode is more accurate can just ignore it. Or how about the possibility of including the diode along with the sensor reading.

Thanks

yeah..thanx too from me because this is an excellent tool !

Regarding the thermal sensor(s): Interesting info there, i couldnt get any clear information in the whitepapers regarding what's the preferred way to read temps...but praz is definitly right. However, i think that the majority of end-users use the thermal diode/mbm/speedfan method.

lukija, did you get the FID/VID working now ?

[soundx98]

I'd like to extend my thanks for all your work on the program.
Definately a must have for me.
Wonderful to see you and Vitaliy sharing information.

But please, reconsider removing the thermal sensor information

I have to agree 100%.
The readings obtained are from two different sources using different methods.
While they may be very close at Idle there can be a large difference under load.
And while the accuracy of either method can be questioned, please leave it in the program as it is an extremely useful tool.

I find MBM5 almost a necessity due to it's configurability and use in/with other programs (WebTemp, LCDC, LCD Smartie, MBM5 log, etc). The ability to calibrate/compensate voltages and temps is a nice touch for me. But there are many who don't like the program or bother setting it up. To each his own.

ITE SmartGuardian, Speedfan, Everest, and NextSensor (all except the latest Everest are FREE) are also great programs. While I prefer VVJ's NextSensor program, others may prefer the GUI or featureset of another program.

As new boards are introduced with many using newly introduced sensors (ITE IT8716F on the AMD M2 boards instead of the older IT8712F) MBM5 may not be able to be used and using the CPU's internal sensor (A64 Info, Core Temp, NextSensor, Everest) may be the only way. Vista (whether you like it or not) will become mainstream over the next 12-24 months and those using the 64-bit Final version may find themselves UNABLE to use any of the programs that DO NOT have a "signed driver".

KEEP THE THERMAL SENSOR INFO IN

My apologies if I have gone too far off topic but for those that prefer Johnny Lee's SP2004 to Prime 95 he is working on a new Beta for 64-bit based on P64v2414 that now dispalys the sensor info from MBM5.

your doing Great Work lukija, keep it coming

Brilliant this software! I added it on my site
