8rdavcore 0.6b GUI

[Hasw]

Hi,

here is the newest version of 8rdavcore:

http://www.hasw.net/8rdavcore/8rdavcore-0.6b.zip

This is the first GUI version. No more command line for those
that don't like it


This version 8rdavcore is able to set VCore, VDimm and VAgp.

greetings,
Hasw

Hello Hasw! Good to see your still finding ways to improve your creation!

Would you please write a bit about it's capabilities and use for our new members...and... (cough) our front page?

This application has failed to start because vcl60.bpl was not found....

And it's not yet finished ... The main-target at version 1.0 is
a tool that is able to set FSB, VCore, VDimm, VAgp and on the new
8RDA+ Vdd.And, of course, can change this parameters depending on
CPU load.

Ok, here is a summary:

8rdavcore 0.6b:
----------------
- Sets the VCore, VDimm and VAgp voltages at
runtime on Epox 8RDA(+) boards
- Displays real sensor values: CPU-temp, VCore,
VDimm, VAgp
- Full GUI
- Installs automatically the GiveIO-driver.

Purpose:
- Find the right voltages on overclocked systems
without rebooting.

Example: Run prime95 or some other stress-test
program and decrease VCore/Vdimm until you
get an error. Now increase the voltage one step
and try again. Repeat this until you get no
more error. Now you have the lowest possible
voltage ;-)

Sorry, I forgot to post the link to the Borland-DLLs:

http://217.160.215.78/bpl.zip

extract them into the 8rdavcore directory.

Thanks Haws!

I have created a static binary that don't need the .bpl

Ok thanks a lot keep up the good work.
If you could make it to change and the FSB you will become a legend.

[jcool]

I never liked 1 windooze proggie that enabled one to change settings that were related to things that you would normally adjust in bios...
This one is absolutely the 1st one I like. Simply great. just execute and it works - no long installation, very nice GUI - just great. If you could manage to implement the FSB setting & get it working just as well as the voltage settings I would never ever reboot my comp again just to get into bios
Damn great work man

[Karaya]

Agree with jcool and nitza666, this program is just great!!! If the next version also could handle fsb settings there would be no need to reboot to change most bios settings.

Is it even possible to change the cpu multiplier on the fly???

[jimbobaggies]

Wouldn't it be really nice if it could adjust Vdd on my rev1.1 MoBo!

I don't think so...
But who knows...

@Jimbo just ****in vmod its so easy
Even better than with Rev 2.x boards IMO because you can always change the Vdd on the fly without having to reboot or using any programs plus you have greater range

Seems to work on 8RDA3+ too, GREAT WORK

why doesn't it work for me? i've got an i8rda+ rev1.1 if i execute it, there only pops up a windows saying >unknown error, contact me!<
os is win xp prof sp1

Have you the 0.6.1b - Version? The "Unknown error" message comes
from the GiveIO-Service installer (ok, I know, Unknown error is not a good error message. But if I try to write all possible error messages for
this Windows service handler, I'm not finished in a year ;-)

Open a command line and type: net start giveio

If this not works (service not found or another error message):

Get http://www.hasw.net/8rdavcore/remove-giveio.zip

and run remove-giveio.cmd. After that try to start 8rdavcore again.


@Karaya: This multiplier registers are outputs...so they are used. But
changing this on runtime it does not change something. I think the
multi is only read by the chipset on a reset. Maybe there is a way,
but I think the chances are good that the computer crashes because
of the "big" speed difference in a short time.

thank you - but it still does not work! i got another error message: >unknown error?!<

Hmm, are you working with administrator rights? Try to install manually
giveio.sys. Copy the .sys file to \winnt\system32\drivers and
run with a command-line:

instdrv giveio c:\winnt\system32\drivers\giveio.sys
net start giveio

If this does not work, sorry...I will create more specific error messages
in the next version.

[mal0]

yo - i'm the one and only administrator on my pc.
i tried your alternative way, but if i want to execute instdrv, my windows just says, it doesn't know this command... is it maybe because i'm using german windows??

[flytek]

Hasw - may i ask if the vcore can now be set below the lowest default of 1.4vcore. many people are trying to build passive cooled systems by reducing core speed and vcore. i have seen many threads on the subject and would love to see 1.1vcore as a possibility. thanks for any response

[mal0]

yeah! managed to install the giveio service and now it work! very nice work!
