Thanks drnip for the additions :toast:

[Chuchnit]

drnip do you have just links to the proggies instead of the files? I tried to make my links as to where it goes to the website? I did this so I don't have to keep going back and updating this whenever a new version comes out.

[DrNip]

Yeah I changed it. Took me a minute to find them.

A simple pinout for testing your psu. I prefer to do this under a load like linpack or memtest.

[Neuromancer]

I use HWMonitor instead of coretemp/realtemp/everest anymore. Nice and small and you can get it the same place you grab CPUz :) Monitors temps AND voltages of mobo, CPU, PSU video cards and just temps on harddrive :)


For DAAMIT users

AMD Overdrive, and I see lots of sickos running k10stat.

Software voltage monitors are unreliable, hwmonitor is great for the temps it displays and a few of it's voltage readings as long as the volt readings aren't very important.

[Neuromancer]

Software voltage monitors have come a long ways. And everytime I see someone say they are bad, someone pulls out a DMM and measuers within a few hundreths of a volt what the SW is reading.

Software temperature monitors on the other hand. WILDLY unreliable. Especially with 45nm Intel and AMD chips. 2 different softwares will show readings 20C different. Granted not many people have the equipment or patience to accurately record the temperatures of their CPUs, so seeing someone comapre them to a SW reading... I have never seen it.


The idea of software monitoring, is not to stake your life on the results. But to give you a general idea of what is actually going on in your system.

For example, seeing your gcore voltage move from 1.05 to 1.15 when you load it, you have an indication that your card has moved to 3d mode.


I have more faith in SW voltage measurements than SW temperature monitoring software anyday of the week.

[DrNip]

EVGA's Eleet is pretty much spot on except for its VTT readings.

For everyone elses sake I will quote myself since you seemed vexed on one point of my post, rather than the entirety. Make your own assumptions there.

Unfortunately I tried very hard not to get annoyed by your comments (coming from a great OCer such as yourself, compared to a n00b like me) and spent a long time writing a civillized response. Only to loss power. ARGH!!!!


Damn why havent I gotten UPS by now!!!

Anywho...

Before I disagree with you further, I do want to say one thing.. your OC prowess is amazing. If I need advice on OCing or extreme cooling I will definitely assume you know what you are talking about :) I say what follows only to keep people from perpetuating fallacies and because, well, I am right.


You said pick one.

I pick vcore. You really actually measuring your 1.3 sw set vcore at .65 or 2volts??? 50% offset...

Now I assume what you really where talking about was PSU rail sw tools. Which I agree, can be VERY wrong. Those are not what I was talking about but lets entertain that thought... So by 50% your motherboard reads.. 12v and your dmm reads 6 or 18 volts? thats a 50% difference. Or you mean that your 12v SW reads 11.8 and your HW reads 11.9? (technically that is less than a 1% difference. pretty freaking sweet)

But lets compare that to temperature readings....

My software tells me my 550BE CPU idles at -256C and loads at 0C. Since it is actually running at 30C and 45C.. thats more than 1300% off.

Okay lets talk average which is what I was talking about anyway...

There are many people that quote coretemp at 25C only to find out they are really running at 35C with those damn e8XXX cpus, (only a 40% difference, which 10 degrees is pretty standard on adding to your SW temp readings actually), oops that would mean SW temp readings are not accurate :p) Sorry my house is running at 24C .. what fucking air cooler is so good it will take an OCed CPU and run it at ambient?

So your 50%? If real idle temp was 37.5.. you hit 50% right there. A difference of 2 degrees. (since people with temp probes are much more lacking than dmm types.. you gotta now that Sw temp readers are SO far off the mark.. its a marketing scheme (oh... not like Intel and nVidia don't play those games ;) ;) nudge nudge say no more)

Okay one last thing..

How do you set your voltages when you overclock?

You use the software (ahem... firmware) that comes with your mobo? Or do you have some machine that clamps down on it and you use dials and switches to set vcore, vdimm etc?

nuff said.

(PS that asus pod... does not count as HW ;) )


EDIT: yeah I am not good at arguing, because my mind is faster than my fingers so if I left too many incomplete thoughts I will try and expound them later.

EDIT EDIT: For that matter.. HW monitor (except on vgpu) lists sensors as specs. So PEBKAC comes into play???

[Deux]

Eleet + Nhancer seem to be the only big ones missing from the list.

There is a nifty little program written by Tiborr (IIRC) called Prioaif that is really helpful for AM3 and wPrime. It is posted in the first 2K1 tweaking thread over at XS. I'll try to dig it up later today.

OCX Spi Tweaker can be helpful for 32M especially. It requires some serious trial and error to get the most out of it but in the end it's worth it.

[hellcamino]

Neuromancer I have absolutely nothing to prove to you! When I said pick one it was intended that you pick a voltage monitor specifically for monitoring psu voltage and I would test my own with it and then give you an actual reading from a multimeter unless you prefer that I use my ossciloscope...

If you are basing your observations off of a single utility and/or a single motherboard or cpu then you have some catching up to do. AMD doesn't even use a core sensor so if you are basing your reading off of that then you are setting yourself up for failure.

Math games? Why would I actually mess around like that? Seriously...what exactly would be the point?

I have seen my 12v rail as low as 2.2v recently, my 5v at 9v and my 3.3v at 1.9v all according to software! The reason they are inaccurate is due to the way they sense voltage...err don't. All of the voltage readings that you see in monitors are simply relayed from the sm bus via bios and so they reflect what is set in bios. When you see changes in windows from what you set in the bios it is due to fluctuations in system load.



Now I say again: pick a software utility for me to test PSU voltage that is accurate. When I say accurate I mean the exact same reading I get with a meter in real time.

As far as temp monitors go I'm honestly not sure, I've been told that an i7 will throttle at exactly 100c but haven't made the experiment (2Chesapeakes did though), I was also told that 100c was threshold temp for the majority of LGA775 socket quad cores and that they would shut down when they reached this temp. The highest I ever saw on my Q6600 was IIRC 119c and on my X3360 xeon I saw it at 123c, the xeon shut down immediately afterward but the Q6600 lasted a few more seconds as I was trying to kill the load and crashed in the proccess. Well I would think that the temp sensors for these cpu's would be tighter than that so I am guessing that those temp readings were higher than actual. The utility in use was core temp and it reads lower than Real temp, hwmonitor or Everest. That doesn't render them entirely useless though as the reported temps can still be used as a guide.

Sorry Supes,

Edited for content, inflammatory comments and spelling :) :confused1:


HC.

Post whatever you like. I see you are still on about PSU rails. Which is fine, I specifically said HWmonitor in my first post and that it gives you an idea about voltage on your video card.

How about OCCT? Run the bench test it gives you a nice graphical display of your 12v rail.

Also out of curiosity, do your rails read from SW) that far off at stock? If not, how long do they stay "accurate" before instability kicks in? Extreme OCes or just any OC at all?


AS for my experience with PCs. No it is not based on a single system. I have 5 PCs running in my house now and I "rent" new ones every few months. (I call it renting, flip HW so often I never really "own it" lol) Benn doing this for the last 5 years, and my experience with PCs goes back to learning how to program on a TRS-80 around 1979


And if "none" of your PSUs will past muster on your board based on SW measurements. Well that could be an issue with your board then, not SW voltage monitoring as a whole. It could also be an indicator that your mobo has been damaged in some way. If for instance when it was brand new it read everything fine)

[Kal-EL]

Thank you Neuromance, its much appreciated.

[hellcamino]

I actually have never seen a software voltage measurement be accurate on any of the systems I have built but you believe what you like! As for instability...maye you are right and I don't know what I am doing here? That must be why I game at 4.3ghz daily as well as anything else I do on my PC as it's triple tested stable there ?

For the record my first pc was a TRS-80 from Radio Shack as well, I don't remember what brand of tape deck I used for it's hard drive though.


The reason I keep on about psu voltage readings is due to the fact that motherboards don't have sensors for it, measure actual live voltage against OCCT if you like with an actual meter.

http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq138/thehellcamino/volts.jpg

Dig those volt readings! If those readings were even close to the truth this pc wouldn't even turn on much less overclock or do antything...

[Neuromancer]

heh heh

HC I was not doubting your ability nor competence in the OC arts, quite the opposite really, kind of why I was so annoyed (although really it was the losing power thing that just flipped my switches)

When I first posted up in this thread I was not even considering PSU sw voltage measurements, although I have seen numerous time its dmm'ed pretty accurately.

I have seen software PSU voltages like yours, reading completely wrong. This is usually caused by inconsistencies between the computation formulas and the motherboard. Everest probably reads the 12v rail much more accurately I take it? What does your BIOS report? I have not seen a BIOS report off like that in years, so its just a matter of finding the right software. When you run the latest hardware software also needs a chance to catch up, if the manufacturer does not send them a prerelease sample, than the software author needs to get the board on his own to find the proper measurements to read from. Everest is from a large corporation and offers paid versions of their software so their accuracy is probably going to be a lot higher.

Others (without a firm grasp of Celsius and Fahrenheit) have no problem quoting Coretemp readings as their "idle/load" temps. Though they are notorious for being 10-15C off "real" temps. Yet I see coretemp listed in useful tools.


Couple of Q's...

Does it read this far off when running stock?

I am getting a DMM soon I hope, going to use it to test vcore and such though. Would be surprised if it read that incorrectly, since I use the BIOS software to adjust voltages...

With multi rail PSUs you measure from the 24pin connector or the CPU connector for accurate 12v readings?




To anyone else reading this thread.


The point I am trying to make is this, if you use software to monitor your temps, you can use software to monitor your voltages. Find the one that is most accurate of course (different software uses different formulas for calculating these figures, for instance, Coretemp does not read a temp sensor it reads delta to tjmax IIRC, which is why it became so unreliable when Intel went 45nm (Intel was very hush hush about what the tjmax is) whether this has changed or not, I am not sure. They had to love all the people posting their coretemp screenies with these ridiculously low idle temps)

The idea of using any temp or voltage sensor is not to report the actual data, but to have a quick reference guide for you to notice changes that occur. As I mentioned previously about 3d clock mode on my card. Obviously if your 12v reading software is reading 12v, and all of sudden is reading 11.2v you should bust out a multimeter and recreate the situation. This is indicative of a problem. If however like HC is saying it is reading 2v, then it is completely useless to you, much like AOD temps sensors are useless to me on my CPU when I unlock the third and fourth cores.

HWmonitor however reads much closer to my "real" temps.

And sorry about the typing. I am on my aunts laptop with some busted keys. Should be home in another day or so though.

[hellcamino]

The voltages read all over the place with various monitors on every board I've used I think but on this one in particular the PSU volts read no differently at stock speeds. Multimeters are the only way to go when putting your system under maximum strain (benchmarking with high volts) when accuracy counts the most, I even use an IR thermometer to check all my component temps while stability testing or benching with untested settings.

Last time I checked there weren't any monitors that were anywhere near accurate for this board or any of the others in my house currently or previously.

[Neuromancer]

Damn shame that.

I will get a mulit soon and post upresults of my current collection with the next couple of weeks

[Chuchnit]

Frank, two things. First can you please resize your pics for those who don't have 26 inch monitors :D, and second could it have something to do with the fact that you run vista 64?

[hellcamino]

No it has nothing to do with os, I have similar screenshots dating back for several years on multiple pc's and platforms using XP32, XP64, vista 32, vista 64 and now Windows 7 64 bit.

Isn't Voltage Tuner basically VoltageFactory, just a little different? I haven't tried Voltage Tuner, but it looks pretty similar to VoltageFactory... Or is there a real point in using Voltage Tuner instead of VoltageFactory? (damn, this post became messy)

Decent list mate, I'm new to this whole thing so I just want to know something quickly. Is there any program that can quickly stress test your PC? I find Prime95 a little tedious having to wait 8-7 hours sometimes :)...

[Kal-EL]

Intel Burn Test it supposed to be pretty intense according to other users experiences. I've never used it as I believe that if its good enough to bench wprime32 and 1024m and 3d06, then its prolly good enough to game.

Everyone is different but IBT supposed to be good and tough on the cpu.

Intel Burn Test is LinPack? or a derivative? (or vica versa)

How do they compare to Core Damage?

Never heard of core damage. I do need to update this list a little.

O.k. guys, we all need backups of our fully tweaked operating systems or copies of clean installs backed up to image for ease of re-use. I've been using TerabyteUnlimited's "Image for Dos" for a few years now, I first started using it when i was a gamer and had X settings wired and wanted a copy of it.

I recently updated the "Image for Dos" to V2 and decided to skip the whole "Burn to DvD" crap and just burn to another hdd hooked up to the mobo. Well shit, it took all of 5 minutes to burn 3 operating systems at the same time to one image file. Granted I didn't have the validate, verify byte for byte and bit for bit options ticked (never had an issue with a backup using this software) but DUDE! 5 minutes? HOLY SHIZNIT FAST and convenient.

Just thought I'd pass it along to you guys. I'll e-mail Terabyte and see if I can get a coupon code for a OCA member discount promo with them.

Here's another one I use... FSCapture (http://www.oldapps.com/fast_stone_capture.php?old_fscapture=17).... really low resource usage, its free, and good options to boot!

I have been using Gadwin screen capture myself. Binds to the print screen key, saves in various formats, also copies to clipboard. And it default adds text to my images (Neuromancer team Overclockaholics :))

I only DLed it though because I did not do a full install of WinFLP so Paint was not included, I realized later I could just grab it from another XP box though lol

[karmakazi]

On a really cut down OS (in terms of services) Paint will take 2-3 minutes to open, which is why I dont use it. Gadwin is another good program, but has slightly more resource usage. When your on the edge, even the smallest extra can be enough to freeze on a screen capture

TechPowerUp GPU-Z 0.3.6 Released (http://www.overclockaholics.com/106074/TechPowerUp_GPU-Z_0.3.6_Released.html)
Today TechPowerUp presents version 0.3.6 of GPU-Z, our graphics sub-system diagnostic utility that provides information on the computer's installed graphics hardware, their various specifications, and provides real-time updates on their parameters such as clock-speeds, temperatures, voltages, and fan-speeds. The utility is backed by our overclock validation system, and an extensive video-card BIOS database. This release brings with it a few important changes that improve compatibility with the latest graphics processors, and enhance usability.

To begin with, GPU-Z introduces an infotip feature that makes understanding graphics hardware easier. Hovering the mouse over an information field shows concise information related to that field. Along with polished support for ATI Radeon HD 5850, and HD 5700 series, version 0.3.6 introduces preliminary support for AMD's newer GPUs. Also introduced is support for several of NVIDIA's GeForce 100 and 200 series GPUs, and some Tesla GPGPU processors. A number of stability issues have also been fixed.

TechPowerUp released the newest version of GPU-Z, our graphics subsystem information and monitoring utility. Version 0.3.7 brings with it some significant feature-set updates that enhance usability, and add the the vast amount of information this tiny utility can display. To begin with, GPU-Z now shows the GPU Computing features your graphics cards support, including whether they support technologies such as DirectCompute, OpenCL, CUDA, and PhysX acceleration. Building on the infotips feature the previous version came with, the Sensors tab now includes handy infotips too. For NVIDIA users, GPU-Z is able to display the exact amount of video (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/#) memory in use by making use of a new driver-level feature by the company.

GPU-Z also includes full-support for ATI Radeon HD 5970, NVIDIA GeForce GT 240, and improved support for Intel G41. Detection features have also been added that help determine counterfeit graphics cards that use some old GPUs relabeled as new current-gen GPUs. Several other stability issues have been addressed. GPU-Z is backed by our extensive video-card BIOS database, and overclocking validation system.

TechPowerUp released the newest version of GPU-Z, our graphics (http://www.overclockaholics.com/forums/#) subsystem information and monitoring utility. Version 0.3.8 brings with it some useful updates that fix several crashes and add useful features to the vast amount of information this tiny utility can display. GPU-Z now displays three GPU load percentages on NVIDIA GPUs: 3D rendering core, memory controller and video acceleration engine. In addition to that we set the foundation to allow multi-language support in GPU-Z in the future. To move forward with this we'd like native speakers to help with support for their language. The whole effort is coordinated in our GPU-Z Translation Forum (http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=72).

Does the cpu tweaker work on the EVGA X58 Boards?

[DrNip]

Yep. I never really used it to change values, though you can, just used it in screen shots for the bot as well as information. I use to use memset, made by the same people, but it doesn't work for the 1366. I used it for my 775. Pretty much just another utility to add to your collection.

Thx bud, I tried it on the P55 board and it borked and said "NOT THIS SYSTEM" or something like that.
