AMD is developing a software called "AMD overdrive". Just like nTune, it can adjust different system values. It's interesting that we find out the software can adjust multiple frequencies of different cores independently.

woah....using pulling the multiplier ?? how many is the max ?

pci-e speed = 0x. u dont need the 'speed' to display on the monitor meh?

it sure does makes oc'ing much more easy.

Pretty innovative application here

Good question.
I've wanted to ask the question too.

However, it is great that we can see now that AMD does approve overclocking by creating this program.

it damn good if it pair with good proc... still waiting how new amd x4 peformance... if the proc perform well + oc tool then i superb...

it just l0ok like clockgen with proper additional option(s) for overclock.. lol

This definitely will make overclocking easier.

ya. i'm getting excited in overclocking.

IMO, more liek to fully utilize target core doing some crunching, while put the rest in lowest speed/state possible ala CnQ for energy saving

nevertheless it does help when you have 3 awesome and a dud core for OC

Wahaha This is something good for AMD fanboy like me

Indicator of unlocked Phenoms?

Well, they could do that with cautious binning anyway.

sorry guys, individual overclocking is good? i'm not very sure about this matter.. thought when overclock should have 4 same clocks to ensure stability?

means if we burnt the proc using the software to oc we still can claim warranty?? xD

Usually overclock at ur own risk.

I suspect AMD will limit the max value for overclocking parameter so that all the overclocking activities done by this software is safe

Yes, like catalyst overdrive is limited, but i suppose you could edit (hack) the binary to allow unlimited max value


But i still dont get it, why would a overclocker want to have 4 different clockspeeds for each cores :S

ya ... manufacturer wont be responsible for any internal changes for their products.

This is illegal dude
In this case the warranty for the processor will void...

the fact that its overclocking already has voided the warranty for the processor la

Overclock still proc burn or spoil very few, coz usually auto shut down if proc overheated

my experience on both amd(2pcs athlon socket 754) and intel proc, when overheating intel auto restart, amd burn

starting from s939 i think amd already have thermal controller instruction in their chip

See

My amd restarts at 70C to 80C when the fan was breaking down. Meh?

70C to 80C
What happen to your proc?? 1.9 -> 5??

Back to this topic, is it this tools only available on Phenom X4?
How about Phenom X2, Barcelona.....?

Anything multicore chip based on the same architecture will be able to change core clocks independently of each other. However, current OSes can't schedule heavier threads on faster cores so it's not very useful at this point.

Not really, but you could put dual-threaded apps to affinity 1 & 2, clock those b****es high, and get 3 and 4 into C&Q or something like that sort of throttling to get thermals manageable (instead of requiring heavy cooling)

All the cores are still on the same power plane (only the cores and IMC are on separate power planes) so you're not saving any energy by running some cores faster while some slower as all will continue to draw power.

Fan was broken, somehow its rpm decreases unless I put my casing horizontally >.> . I'm a noob overclocker only 1666mhz ---> 2000 mhz .

I might try and do better if I have the time (must download anime).

i suppose they are using onboard graphic.

It will be nice if can be used on all AMD's cpu

it sound nice

Well, most of the games/application uses/optimize single to dual core due to the time of programming. Thus, by having lower speed at last two cores, over clockers can increase first two cores much higher. This is an example.
