AMDCPU.exe

AMD 64 driver for Win XP is supposed to automatically control your CPU speed based on what your application needs.

Does anyone use this on a desktop? or is this for mobile 64?

Thanks,

I use it on an A64 desktop, works great. If you let windows control the throttling it doesn't work so good, but if you use a program like RMclock from rightmark(free download) it works great. My system runs at 1550mhz with 1.1vcore when idling, and ramps up to 2805mhz with 1.45vcore when CPU usage requires

Thank you GuitarDaddy!!! At least one riddle solved today.

I installed it, but how do you use it? It's a driver so where on the PC do I got to configure it?

Edit: Oh, you use it in conjunction with another app. Right? Sorry!

You use it with what GuitarDaddy mentioned, RMClock. My overclocked Venice temperature drops down during low utilization by several degrees.

It's really a life saver for an overclock CPU.

And you usually have to enable C n' Q in bios, depending on your mobo. I've been using it since the driver came out in May, and I really love it. Dropped my idle temps from 42-43c to 34-36c and also saves on the electricity bill, a real god send here in the Texas summer heat

Thanks GuitarDaddy, this is a handy app. I've been using Clockgen to upclock but having an on demand up/down clock is very nice. All I did was set the performance profiles to Auto Mgt and added a the low load P-State 0 = 5x/1.15v (nets 1.28v in CPU-Z). Any tips on how to best config RMClock for an A64 3000+ / A8N-SLI? Did you change any setting on the Advanced tab?

BTW, C&Q is currently disabled in BIOS as is Q-Fan. Did you need to enable either of those to get RMClock to work properly?

thanks,
John

You need to enable C&Q in BIOS for RMClock to work properly in addition to AMDCPU.exe
