AGP and PCI freqencies in Sandra 2002?

[Flatbroke]

I have the un-registured ver., I have searched high and low, are they in there? I thought that was where I was able to see what they are running at with my ASUS P4b266-C.

In the SissySoft sandra window, one of the Icon named "Mainboard Information" is the one you need to go to. Scroll down by moving down your Mouse approx. 6mm(0.6cm) and you will see "AGP Bus" and "PCI Bus" section. You will see AGP bus frequency and PCI frequency there. You cannot miss em.

SiSoft's PCI and AGP freq doesn't work. It will take a best guess sometimes depending on the version and the chipset. It is not at all accurate. There is no way via software to actually measure PCI and AGP frequencies.

Thanks, see it now...... man, I WAS blind, Ha.

When I look at Sandra, it gives me the frequencies when I don't overclock. Then, when I put the FSB up to 117, I get no info about AGP or PCI frequencies. Is there any other program that will show the freq.?

I've looked high and low. There isn't one. I did find that is not possible for a software program to read PCI and AGP frequencies. Sandra may take a stab at it by calculating known ratios, but it is most often wrong.

Watch out for what SiSoft claims, it's PCI/AGP bus calculations are based on guesses of the dividers by taking into account the mobo chipset in use, and FSB speed.... it often tends to be incorrect.

So, what's the best way to measure pci/agp frequencies then?

 

[oldfart]

As far as i know, there is none unless you get special hardware designed for doing just that. I did see such a device in an article, but dont have the link. Maybe an Oscope would work.

Sandra sucks.Right now it tells me my motherboard temp is 126.0c/258.8f CPU temp is 26.0c/78.8f.Now what's wrong with that????

I get the same thing - when I o/c, then my PCI, FSB speeds disapper!

on my msi board (i845)it seems to be correct...memory benchmarks are in line with the speed listed...seems to be working with known ratios for my board..I had bad support for 2001 and 2001se, but it seemd to list the chipset and all the board info to a "T"...I don't know....ON my asus board I control all the ratios so I really don't need sandra to tell me one way or another...
