If you have not tried it yet, it is an alternative to the standard C'nQ drivers that in my case has the best of all worlds.
RMClock
To be more specific, I have a Gigabyte K8NS Pro with and A64 3000+ Newcastle CG O/C to 240 x 10. My problems were:
- AMD C'n'Q is disabled if the FID or the VID are not the standard, that is not good for overclockers
- AMD C'n'Q has fixed FID/VID points (the maximum is the standard and the minimum are 5X and 1.1 V)
- Clockgen is not automatic (you can make it semi automatic with some effort)
- CrystalCPUID and Clockgen crash my computer occasionally, not only when going to very high or low values, but there is a risk in every change I do. I think it is due to my MB being too sensible to abrupt voltage/frequency changes.
RMClock solves all those issues by allowing to set the maximum and minimum FID/VID as CrystalCPUID and by allowing smooth transitions as the AMD C'n'Q driver. I only installed it yesterday and it didn't crash a single time so far. I have set the minimum FID to 4X and VID to 1 V, lowering the temperature by other 3 degrees.
I still have a lot to test with this software but first I just wanted to tell you that it has really worked for me.
