8rdavcore 0.6b GUI

[geekbyte]

I have a problem. Im sure its nothing but.

My system at 219x9.5 1.7 is 100% stable. I ran prime95 for 10 hours an its perfect.

But when i move my settings down to 200x9.5 1.6v prime still runs great nothing wrong. Just when i turn the auto FSB on. when 8RDAvcore starts to up the FSB and Vcore prime will come up with a really long error number saying Hardware fatal error.

I run prime95 at 219 for an hour, then at 200 for an hour and it works .. just when autoFSB starts to move the FSB up is when i get that error.

--- When im playing a game and it starts to up the FSB and Vcore for better performance will this then become a problem and crash my games. Currently i have not a any problems at all with any game or program.

Thanks

is it possible to make a batch file for each mode without any user input (besides running the batch file)?

BTW thanks alot for the great work m8

Has anyone noticed that their rails get a huge boost when using the voltage features in 8RDAVCORE? I have a Shuttle AN35N Ultra, and with the voltage set to 1.975 in the BIOS, my +5V reads 4.85 and my +12V reads +12.48. If I set 8RDAVCORE to 1.975 as well, with the command line option on startup, my rails jump to 5.27 and 12.22.

What is the explanation for this? Is 8RDAVCORE messing with MBM's, Speedfan's and AIDA32's ability to read the rails or are the rails really boosted? Also, with the same settings, my VCORE occasionally bumps past 2.0V, which is supposedly impossible on my mobo.

my core voltage is at 1.7v .. with 8rdavcore it reads it as 1.723 whats with that. Its 100% stable but but if i move my voltage to 1.72 then its unstable and my computer reads it at almost 1.8???

@aldamon: At the moment VCore greater than 1.85V isn't supported on the AN35. So if you try to set 1.975V with the command-line options, 8rdavcore sets the VCore to the known maximum: 1.85V. Running on 1.85V the load is lower for the power supply, so it can be that the 5 and 12V rails are higher.

@geekbyte: My board also has +23mV "overvoltage", but 1.8V at 1.725 is unusually. Maybe you can send me the 8rdavcore.deb debug file after you set 1.725V?

[Rudzer]

Does this work on the cheap nforce2 mobo from ecs (that lacks any bios ocing options)?

[Hasw]

If there is an ATXP* chip on the board, yes. Otherwise only FSB and RAM-timings will work.

Greetings !

HASW: is it possible to go even lover than 1.075V with Vcore ? Is is the mobo limitation or you just limited it for safety ? If mobo can handle this and you know it will work, please extend the Vcore settings

[Hasw]

No, the IRU3055 voltage regulator knows only values down to 1.075V (the AMD datasheets are knowing only value down to 1.1V).

Thought I'd quickly come on here and elaborate on a strange error I had while updating from 8rdavcore-0.8.1b to the development version 8rdavcore-0.8.7-dev *edit* This is on an 8RGA+ model.

This was mostly brought about (i think) by attempting to unzip the new version to the same folder while the original version was running (I thought i'd closed it, but it was just minimised)

After i'd unzipped it, and tried to run the new version it would consistantly run the old version.

So i deleted the whole folder (i thought) and reinstalled 0.8.7 to a different directory.

And the same thing happened! it would run the older version when i tried running the new version. (from a link in the start menu) Despite the fact that I thought i'd deleted the entire old directory.

So i rebooted. and then when i tried to run the new version (even from the folder itself) it would tell me that the file could not be found.

So i deleted it, reinstalled it AGAIN and it still wouldn't run.

And this is where it got weird. After that point in time, no program would open directly. Even single program would tell me the file did not exist, even when i was opening the program directly from windows explorer, or attempting to run it from the windows task manager. Windows XP (SP 1) would still boot correctly, and all the windows services would start correctly, but no external programs would load correctly.

What was really strange was that the programs would start if I ran them indirectly. For instance, if I clicked on a document file, (*.doc) Microsoft Word would open, and an MP3 file would open winamp. But nothing i could do would allow me to open those programs directly.

It "appeared" to be a major corruption of the registry. However, even a repair installation of windows XP did not cure the problem. This repair install "should have" rebuilt the registry, however didn't appear to.

Unfortuantly, I needed to get some work done, so couldn't spend any time on the problem, and instead needed to format to get the computer working again.

I didn't think to get the log files of either win xp, or 8rdavcore, so i'm afraid I can't help you.

I may be able to replicate the problem though, so i might try that sometime, but right now I need this computer!

Any ideas?

[Hasw]

When you updating, deleting the old .exe and config.ini is enough. 8rdavcore doesn't access the registry for saving settings, but it is possible that a crash leads to filesystem or registry corruption. The problem with the file-deleting and opening the old one sounds like a file problem.
But the problem starting programs directly sounds like
a virus.
Have you checked your system with a Anti-Virus scanner?

It's "possible"... but I was running the most up-to-date version of AVG (with virus definitions from a few days earlier) coupled with a relatively decent firewall. Windows XP SP1 was pretty much up to date as well.

I did check the system pretty throughly for a virus, and the fact that it also wouldn't run properly in safe mode suggests that the entire registry got destroyed pretty badly (much more badly then any of the more recent viruses "generally" do.)

Anyways, as I said. I'll see if i can replicate the problem sometime.

hello,

great program.

is there anyway to make the change permanent? for example i set my vcore to 1.2v and as soon as i reboot, setting goes back to bios setting.

is there a way to have vcore automatically set by 8rdavcore when windows run?

would you please help?

if the program is useful, im more than happy to donate to help you to improve the program better.

thanks

[Hasw]

No, to make the settings permanent, modifying of the CMOS is needed and that's not a good idea.

You can use the AutoFSB option or the command-line options to apply the settings automatically at startup.

Hi Hasw,

Having a lot of fun with yr program. Regarding fan speed change on NF7, once fan drops much below 2500rpm reported speed rises above 5000rpm. Is this related to fan1freq=2? Can fan speed be controlled from command-line?

thanks

[Hasw]

Since the fans are controlled with a pulsed voltage, it is possible that the fan electronic can't create clear signals and so reporting a wrong speed. Have you tried different frequencies?

No, command-line options are not yet available for fan controls. I'll put it on the todo-list.

[dabaerman]

Hasw, thanks for the progy. use it on 8RDA+ rev.1. I noticed that it works for MSI K7N2 Delta-L. it isn't in the drop down menue. which board do I select?
I used 8RDA+ rev1 and so far it seems to be working so far. thanks again.

[Hasw]

Are you using the 0.8.7-dev version?

[Bung]

I'll try different frequencies. Speedfan does alter the speed without affecting the speed monitor but the range is less and control coarser. Possibly it is doing more than pulse width. Thanks for considering a commandline fan option.

[Hasw]

The Winbond has only two available controls (regarding to the datasheet): Duty cycle and PWM frequency. The only other way to control it is to enable/disable fan control periodically, but this isn't very nice (higher CPU and I/O load).
