Phenom TLB Disable Tool and Phenom MSR tweaking tool

[sam2008]

justapostSounds interesting. Although I am not very familiar with Linux programing. If GCC supports inline assembly code, it might work.

__declspec(naked) void Ring0ReadMSR()
{
_asm
{
rdmsr
mov [ebx],eax
mov [edi],edx
retf
}
}

//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// WRMSR
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
__declspec(naked) void Ring0WriteMSR()
{
_asm
{
mov eax,[ebx]
mov edx,[edi]
wrmsr
retf
}
}

Yeah, realized it cuz i had forgotten my benchmark software usb stick and had to download it again.
So I dropped my plans to write an gui tool for multi management. CrytalCPU has multi management for intel chips which should be extendable to support phenoms p-states.
But at the moment i'm more interested in writing an power saving module with tweakable p-states for linux.

Yea, Phenom is still dead.

Sam2008, Thanks for all your work bro! Your software works VERY well, but I'm gonna nitpick just a little bit..

I experienced a little confusion with your Icons. If you could redesign them with maybe, the universal crossed circle for DISABLED, and ENABLED over the Icon when when TLB is turned on. It might help folks understand it a little better...

You are my hero Sam! Just a suggestion...

[sam2008]

You mean changing the program icon? Will work on it...

Updated. See Post #1.

Thanks SAM!! I was drinking when I posted that message, so the confusion was probably partially caused by my own blurred senses...

Hopefully that will help someone else in that state down the road though.

Thanks a bunch sam! For some reason, DFI got rid of the TLB option in the newest BIOS and AOD is garbage.

Wow what a killer Job Sam Just finally got around to doing your TLB SP1 Fix Nice job man

[LIKMARK]

Hey Sam! How about making a tool for changing NB multiplier for those of us not having this option in bios?

[Brother Esau]

Hows about a $10.00 Coupon off on the DFI 790FX-M2R JK...Brother

[sam2008]

Is the NB multplier controlled by MSR? Is so you might be able to do it using the MSR Tweaking Tool in the 2nd post of this thread. It can change any MSR you want and does bit masking too.

Changing the NB multi requires an reboot on k10's. And it's done via PCI registers (F4xA3 or so).

EDIT: Did not reply to that yet. The linux kernel has c-functions for changing msr registers, those are implemented using inline assembler code.

Here ya go sam2008

Nice . Just remind you if you are using stand by (sleep) function of Vista SP1, everytime the computer wakes up, the TLB will be enabled again. You will have to manually disable it under that circumstance.

Thanks Sam but I don't do the stand by / sleep deal never have and find it to be more problems then just letting the PC Run

I have a Turion 64 x2 proc in my Gateway T1625 laptop, and I'm getting the TLB error after installing Vista SP1. Does anyone know if this proc has the TLB error in it? The TLB disable tool doesn't work because it doesn't have the same MSR's. I've talked with Microsoft (outsourced), and there's no hotfix at this time, but they are 'working on one' (yeah right) and will 'let me know' when it is available. Does anyone know the MSR's for the Turion procs? I haven't found the resources for that yet on AMD's website. I have found, that if I restart my computer, I do not get any errors (mostly WHEA 19 errors), but if I sleep/wake up my computer, or do a hard reboot, I get errors intermittently. Thanks for any help.

No, just for Phenom rev. B2.

Hey , Is they any chance of you making an update version of your little program. Can you also PLEASE host the file on a diffrent file share sit for every time I try to download version 1.5 it gives me the same error every time. Thanks

[Phenomenalspeed]

Please can someone tell me how I can get this to disable automatically at windows startup for both XP SP3 and Vista SP1?

The link on the first post is dead.

Thanks.

Link updated. But if you have 9850, you do not have TLB problem and there's no need to use this patch tool.

Those links don't download the full file. Are the links working?

Sorry I am new to this forum and wanted to try out this cool tool.

Thanks for the new link. Is there a Windows Xp equivalent of the task scheduler?

Are you 100% sure of this? I am sure that I read that this patch in Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP1 is still enabled for B3 stepping phenoms too.

Sorry to bump this old thread, but I have a question that's related to this.

I'm building a ultra cheap rig for a friend with the Phenom 9600BE, I will be using Windows XP 32 bit, will I still need to use this patch, and will I need to apply this patch on every start up? Thanks.

talk about a blast from the past lol,

ok if your using xp 32 bit, service pack 3 has the same TLB fix in it that the vista service pack 1 has, a lot of peeps will disagree with me, as this was never 'proven' as such, but i done tons of benches during that phenom I phase to prove this.

althou to be fair the impact of the TLB fix in XP, didnt seem to be as much as the vista sp1 fix.

so you can stay on XP SP2 or update to SP3 and use this tool, and yes you will need to pin it to the start up, so it starts each time the comp starts.

[awdrifter]

Thanks, I made a shortcut in the Startup folder, it works now.
