Cool n' Quiet alternative with an Opty 144?

[Chappie]

Hi all,
I posted this in the software sub-forum with little luck...soooooo I thought I would move it here:

I'm currently running my Opty 144 at 2400 mhz..I'd like to know if there is any software out there that is similiar to Cool n' Quiet that will work with Opterons in an overclocked rig???

thanks,

Chappie

RMClock is great, I use it with my 144. It does the same thing as CnQ, with lots of additional options. You can configure different performance profiles, it lets you set max/min voltages and multipliers to whatever you want, and you can configure intermediate states. You can also adjust how aggressively it adjusts to CPU load. It's really a nice program. It works just fine with OCing, too. My rig goes from 310x4 @ 1.0V idle to 310x9 @ 1.45V load with RMClock.

CnQ works fine unless you have lowered the multiplier to achive a higher overclock. In this case you definately need RMClock. In my case I run 9x280 on 1.55v, CnQ lowers this to 5x280 on 1.25v when idle, & then returns to 9x280 on 1.55v under load. The limitation with CnQ is there are only 2 states & the settings it choses are not configurable. I dont find this an issue but if you want to configure yourself then get RMClock. I'm not very keen on using third party apps for controlling my hardware, same reason I dont use Speedfan or A64Tweaker. That's just a personal preference & not a recommendation.

i used to use rmclock on my a64-3200 and it works great at regulating vcore and multi based on load.

on my x2-440, though, i can't use it as i think it has a dual-core bug that still hasn't been resolved. the problem is that when one core is at full load but the overload is, say, only 50% as the other core is idle, it would then downclock thinking that higher vcore and multi are not required thus resulting in poor performance if not to a crash.

i hope the authors get it fixed soon.
