AMD "Cool N Quiet" no longer clock throttling
OS: Windows XP Pro SP2
RAM: 1.5GB Video: BFG Tech 6800OC 128MB I am currently unable to get “Cool N Quiet” to function on my system. While it was operational in the past, I noticed today that the clock is no longer being throttled. I discovered this when I right-clicked on “My Computer,” and the clock speed was constantly at 2.00GHz. I attempted to run the “AMD Dashboard Demo,” but received the following error message: “Failed initializing, make sure the AMDTools Driver is installed and that this system has a PSS or PST object.” I then downloaded and installed the “AMD Power Monitor,” which does run successfully, and was able to verify that the clock was remaining constant at 2GHz, regardless of CPU load. I then updated the “AMD Processor Driver” from 1.2.2.2 to 1.3.2.0053. After restarting the computer, the issue was still present. I then uninstalled the 1.3.2.0053 processor drivers, restarted, and reinstalled the MSI supplied “AMD Cool and Quiet Driver,” version 1.2.2.0. After restarting the computer, the issue was still present. The motherboard is an MSI-6702, which is an AMD recommended motherboard. “Cool N Quiet” is enabled in the BIOS, and Windows Power Management is set to “Minimal Power Management.” How do I get “Cool N Quiet” working on my machine again? Thanks. |

Thanks. I don't run Windows, but I know that “Minimal Power Management.” means minimal. That's translates to very little power management, not very low cpu speeds. Try a different setting or take it to a windows group and ask. -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org My Tivo Experience http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/tivo.htm Tivo HD/S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm AMD cpu help http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php |

minimal. That's translates to very little power management, not very low cpu speeds. Try a different setting or take it to a windows group and ask. AMD CPU driver instructions indicate to set Windows Power Management to "Minimal Power Management." |

Try shutting down the windows power management, and let 'Cool 'n quiet'
take over. André It's not readily apparent that this is possible, under "Power Options," the lowest management setting is "Minimal Power Management." If you look at the "Windows Native Processor Performance Control" doc (http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...Contr ol.doc), you will see that setting it to "Minimal Power Management" sets both AC and DC CPU throttling to "adaptive," and "Cool 'N' Quiet" uses that to throttle the clock speeds based on CPU demand. |

AMD CPU driver instructions indicate to set Windows Power Management to
"Minimal Power Management." Everything you've said sounds just like on my system. The only suggestion I have is to reinstall the latest motherboard drivers from VIA. Also get the latest Realtek audio & lan drivers from realtek while you are it. Check the coolnquiet readme in case it has some requirements also. rms |
