RMclock vs cool 'n' quite

[TanisHalfElven]

cool and quite keeps crashing my computer so i removed it from the computer and diabled it in the bios. but i can still use rmclock to mange clocks. is rmclock better than cool and quite. ?

it does offer more control. but cool n quite was made by amd. which is better.

thanks

Well you would have thought AMD's implementation would be better. Anyway did you install the correct drivers, aswell as the latest BIOS?

yup drivers and enabled in the bios.
also while cool n quite was installed i never noticed a drop in speed. but whenever i left the computer for extended peroid (me not on it ) of time it always crashed.

With your motherboard, it's very possible to use Cool n Quiet while overclocking. You just have to raise vcore with percentages, through Special VID Control, in the BIOS, instead of VID Control.

For instance, if you're running your 165 @1.45v, then instead of setting the VID Control to 1.45v, set it to 1.325v, and set Special VID Control to Above VID+110%. Then, your cpu will get 1.325x110%=1.4575v. But, the difference will be that when Cool n Quiet enables, it will give the cpu 1.1vx110%=1.21v, instead of it giving it 1.1v, like it was when you were trying before. It seems to work for at least 90% of people with a DFI board. It won't work, if you're going for a max overclock, with minimum voltage, though.

edit: When CnQ enables, it doesn't change your HTT, it only changes the multiplier to 5x. So, if you're running at a 280 Mhz HTT, it will change it to 5x280=1400 Mhz. That's why it needs more voltage, than it does at a 200 Mhz HTT. Also, if you're running more than about 260 Mhz HTT, I would recommend you try a lower VID Control, and a higher Special VID, like 1.275x113%=1.44v, and it will give you 1.1vX113%=1.24v, when CnQ kicks in.
