Wattage Calculator III - Check what will be the power consumpsion of ur O/Ced CPU!

[The Coolest]

Here it is. Just extract all 5 files into 1 dir and enjoy. plz post/pm me for comments, suggestions...

*EDIT*: This program will work only on computers with installed Visual Studio, a Visual Basic program, or if he downloads the install version (see below for link)

Now who ever has VB or VB application installed just download the added file to this post, every one else click
here (www.pickleloaf.com/newwatt3.zip), Then u'll be able to download the file from there! Ploaf gave me the space on his server, so he gets the credits for the hosting :beer:

Please just download the file and don't delete it or something like that, it took us enough time to get the file there, thank you & enjoy

Update!!!! on the end of this post, look for the zip file. all u need to do is to unzip the five files into the directory u installed the program in, or u can use the link above and there is the same file to download from there.

01-20-2002: OK, this is the newest update (it has now the latest Tualatins also), so even if u downloaded the installation, u should download this file and replace the 1s u have installed in the dir of the NewWatt2

03-26-2002: Added the AthlonXP 2100+ to the AMD bunch.
PS: Go to the last post to get the zip file

07-01-2002: Added the T-Bred watt specs, Tualatin Celeron 1400, P4 Celerons 1700 and 1800, and P4 2266 and P4 2533

07-05-2002: I fixed some really stupid bugs that people from different regional settings were getting and some other bugs I noticed going around.

08-02-2002: I rebuilt the install file, now its the newest, all u gotta do is download and install... nothing else, for those who already have earlier version installed don't need to download, only if the want a "clean install" of that program.
PS. I also added CPU caches to the AMD part of the DB, I had no time to do it for Intel, if anyone has exact chart which specifies which CPUs had how much cache would be highly appriciated.

Nice little program! I think it looks better than Radiate. My athlon 1400@1705 (22% overvlock) is generating 144.95 watts of heat. My old duron 600@1200 (100% overclock!!!!!!!!!!) was cranking out a stagering 110.99 watts at 2.33v. Origionaly the duron was putting out only 23 watts so that is aproximately a 5x increase in heat production.

[Ozzman]

i was not able to open it....

i got this msg

class is not registered
looking for object with clsid:{00000010-0000-0010-80000-00aa006d2ea4}

then after pushing ok i get


run-time error '91':
object variable or with block variable not set

and then it close when i push ok i unziped the 3 files into one folder also...

thought u would like to code and not just me saying it crashed

[Gravity Man]

I got the same error

[bobt17]

me 2..... are u guys running windows xp? that could be the problem is what i was thinking....

[Bender]

I'm running win XP and I had no problem downloading or running it.

[WyrmMaster]

Same error here, running win2k

[HiProfile]

same error w/Win98

[The Coolest]

Hi guys, it seems very strange, the error means that the database wasn't found... did u rename or set files to read only?
Try downloading this program another time.

I'll try to figure the problem out today

[bobt17]

ok i just redownloaded same error tho

[Ozzman]

98SE here

what windows are u runing The Coolest?

[The Coolest]

I'm using Windows ME but I tested it on a machine running Win98 (not SE) and it worked fine... Are there people that it worked on their machines? Please post

*EDIT*: I'm at school right now, and I tried to download this program... It ran fine except a little error about something not found. But it worked... I know that u need several files, a VB support, maybe that is the problem you are having. If u know any one w/ Visual Basic or WinME installed try it there.

[The Coolest]

I found what this error is about. U need to install the program. the only problem is that the Setup is larger than 1MB so I can't upload it here. if any1 has or knows about free ftp server or something like it, pm me upload the setup there and post a link, that should solve the problem. Like I said before, you need Visual Basic files.

[The Coolest]

B U M P!

Any one has or knows of a sever or something I can upload the setup file to? its 3MB and after installation the program won't give this error and work properly. Please!!!! I have a dialup, and can't send it to anyone that wants it... it takes a lot of time...

[el]

maybe the ftp at AOA would let you put it on their site.

[The Coolest]

Thanks el!

I'll upload it later... But the setup works, I tested it. Its 3.05MB

[Ozzman]

there are a lot of places u could ftp it.. one being geocities, another www.websamba.com and another, http://5u.com/ these are just off top of my head.. these guys have a lot of them

http://www.coolfreewebhosting.com/

[The Coolest]

YAY!!!!! guys I did it! I uploaded the file to geocities.com.
Click here (http://www.geocities.com/kewlestcoolest/NewWatt2.zip) to download the setup file. It made for computers that don't have Visual Studio or Visual Basic or VB programs installed, or whoever the program doesn't work in his/her comps!

[Ozzman]

u need a new host geo has a max bandwith and sence a lot of us have cable we would just eat up that bandwith (sry cant turn down my 112 kb download off geo) but more bad news the zip is corupted i dont know if its the downloader on opera or what but it said the cab is corupted.. sry to be the one that always gives the bad news..

[bobt17]

i cant download it at all from that geocities link...

[Sonny]

This is what I am getting;

[Sonny]

after I click OK then this;

[Sonny]

Is there anything else we need besides these;

[bobt17]

coolest if u email it to me at Ju_G_G_alo@hotmail.com i can put it somewhere and get a link in here for people to dl it...

[Ozzman]

he cant email larger then a 1 meg file i recommend msn messanger..

[The Coolest]

Does any1 have WinAce? I made the zip with winace, could that be the problem?
I'll try to rezip it and send it to another server...
when bobt17 will be online... I'll send it to him, and we'll see

[bobt17]

hmm i am on now but it dosent look like u are..... oh well when u get on send it to me in email as an atachement if u can

EDIT: never mind i just read what ozzman said but i do have another email that isnt hotmail that could probly take a bigger file.. if u can find a way to send it to Ju_G_G_alo@prodigy.net that would work too

[-EternitY-]

The Coolest, Not to get out of the subject.

What kinda connection you got/

[Ozzman]

poor guy is on a modem in isreal i think he said so its a bitch uploading i take it...

[The Coolest]

Yup, unfortunatly I am on a modem but maybe, just maybe I will get cable in couple of month... :(

bobt17>> I can get a email acount that, I think supports files larger than 1MB. If I'll get it I'll send you the file.

[David]

Calculating heat is easy:

E(Watts) = I(Amps)x V(Volts) x t(seconds)

E=ItV.

All you need to find out is the current flowing through. You will know the voltage (about 1.6-1.85V)

[The Coolest]

In this program I used the W = specW * ((currentspeed / specspeed) * (currentVcore/specVcore)^2)

And you will have to search all the datasheets to get info for ur CPU, in my app (aplication) u just select ur CPU and enter new values...

[David]

ah! I see. Yours can work without needing to find the current - a lot easier for CPUs. I can just about see how your formula works.

[WarriorII]

Fantastic ! YES it is better than the radiate prog. BY FAR !

THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


:cool:

[The Coolest]

Thanks!!
I would like to hear your comments about what can I improve/add to the program to make it better. I'm now working on uploading the setup file, so no one will need to look for and install special software.

[bobt17]

i'm also looking for a place to upload it still no luck so far

[The Coolest]

Yes, and bob17 helps me.
bob17>> That's ok... keep trying, I will also. Thanks

[bobt17]

:) ok i think i found a way to get this program to everyone who wants it


anyone who wants it go to https://www.storagevault.net/ and log in with
User Name=overclockers
Password=overclockers
u should be able to download it from there it is the only file in that account oh and please no1 deleat it from the account
i just set that account up to help coolest distribute his great program :)

[The Coolest]

Hey Thanks man!!!!!!!!! YAY! I'll edit my first post in this thread!!!

[bobt17]

no prob :cool:

[bobt17]

bump...... hey coolest i dont think alot of people are paying atention to this post anymore... u might want to start a new one that starts off with saying how to get wattage calculator since this one was a fluke at first

[The Coolest]

Here's the update, just overwrite the existing files! Intel users, the new Tualatin P-IIIs and Celerons will be added soon.

*EDIT*: Attachment removed, newest version is in first post.

[The Coolest]

BUMP... guys any feedback would be appriciated... suggestions for improvements also. thx

[The Coolest]

OK, so I understand that my program is perfect! :p if no1 is responding and doesn't have suggestions then its kewl

[Sonny]

I'm d/l them now. I hope it works:beer:

[badgers]

it works fine for me.

I would suggest that you make the calculate button property of default set to true.

That way when someone hits enter they get the calc done if the text boxes are filled in.

The first few lines of the click event will need to test that the text boxes contain numbers (I would use IsNumeric)

thanks for the program.

[badgers]

ps I am a bad reader so I just downloaded the file you attached at the very top. I did not try your repost.
I have visual studio.

[Ozzman]

hmm acording to via hardware monitor my core valtage is 1.80 and not 1.75 that the program says... ps the installer works great..

[The Coolest]

Hey, thanks for the replies!
badgers>> I will do! & u should download the update, I added the XP 2000+ to the DB, and worked out a bug or 2 :D...
The default Vcore is 1.75, the mobo can put out more than the exact number

[Ozzman]

yeah ive heard the k7vza does that do u think it can do any harm??

[The Coolest]

Naa, the extra 0.05 Volts won't hurt ur CPU unless its overheating, then even on Vcore lower than defualt it will hurt.. nothing to worry about. :beer:

[The Coolest]

OK, the last update for now there is an improvement in the code, that makes it easier for me to add more CPUs to the list... so its recommended to download it now... so there will be now troubels in future, for the installation there is a link in the first post in this thread.

*EDIT*: Attachment removed, newest version is in first post.

[badgers]

still need to make the calc button the default so that an enter will start the calc.

are you using ADO or DAO?

[The Coolest]

I'm using the Data object that displayed when a New Project is started...
& what u mean make the calc button default? When does it become avail?

[badgers]

are you using VB?

if you are then it is easy.

In the IDE left click once on the command button.

now right click on the command button and select properties.

in the properties window that should come up on the right side there is a property called "default"

set this property to true.

because your text boxes are not multi line any time you hit enter the code behind the click event for that default button will be run.

in your click event you need to have some input verification.
example guessing at the names you used for text boxes.

If TxtNewSpeed.Text = "" then exit sub
and do this for the other box as well.

after you know that all the text boxes are filled in then use
this to make sure that you have numbers and
if it is NOT a Number then exit sub

if Not(IsNumeric(TxtNewSpeed.Text)) then exit sub

if you want you can send me the source and I can help you that way.

[badgers]

[The Coolest]

OK, now on the most resen update I made it in a way that when u press enter on any of the text boxes u get the Calculate button to work. just insert the info and press Enter!

[Angry]

Guyz about Geocities, direct file d/l links wont work cause they dont allow hot linking, or turned if off. You have to d/led a file from an HTML or HTM document otherwise it will not work.
So you have to make a small page and then make a link to that file and wala...you have one of the only wayz to get a file from geocities.

[demon-eater]

*bump

this program works!
and it will help me in overclocking some of my chips in the future with a pelt

[The Coolest]

Thanks man.
Here's the latest update w/ the 2100+ XP

*EDIT*: Attachment removed, newest version is in first post.

[The Coolest]

BUMP

[Guid0]

I cannot open stoagevault it just sits there saying loading page...............is their server on the fritz......doesn anyone have the 3mb file they can give me?

[The Coolest]

Bumpity bump, updates... Dear mods could you please change the thread title from Wattage Calculator II - Check what will be the power consumpsion of ur O/Ced CPU! to Wattage Calculator III - Check what will be the power consumpsion of ur O/Ced CPU!
Put III instead of the II

[JFettig]

coolness!, im gonna dl this

[Starfoxer]

thanks for the update coolness. i was looking for this post again
to get the proggy after a format but never found it. thansk! :p

[rogerdugans]

I'm glad this got bumped- I never ran across it before!

Excellent program, and well worth the trouble of finding which link/files were the right ones!

Thanks:D

[The Coolest]

hey guys, I see that many mroe got this app, I would like to see some responses to what could be improved/added, the version I posted a few days ago had a bug, if you wouldn't input the used vcore in the popup window, u'd get an Typemismatch error, I fixed it in the newer file, so if you don't want any bugs like these, please redownload

[rogerdugans]

Just tried it- I seem to have the good one;)

Now that I have the correct version of the app, i can find nothing with the usability/ features that I want added....

but it would be great if data for Intel cpus was available too (I know, this is in the AMD section but......:D )

!DOH! Should have looked through the options before I wrote that! Thought I'd leave it up so you could have a laugh

I do have one suggestion: editing the bad/old/incorrect version links out of the first posts!

It did take me a while to get the newest version of the program, and it is well worth the time....but confusing.

Thanks again

[The Coolest]

LOL, things like that happen :p
But for those who can't find it there's a menu button called View, click it, and you will have to choice which CPUs to look for, AMD or Intel.

I fixed a couple of bugs that would cause errors on some systems running different regional settings than USA and couple other bugs. I hope it works well for you, check it out

[The Coolest]

Well... One last bump, this sux that the thread dies so fast, but I can't going every couple of hours and bumping it up :( oh well :o

[Silver]

Tried id overclockers, password overclockers but says it is an invalid account. No Joy. Maybe it is on the front of this site? Going to take a look. No luck.....:(

[TonyMc]

Yeah I can't get in either and I would love to have this program.

[The Coolest]

BUMP & bad news. the account at storage vault where I used to store the full installation files is now closed because it was free, and now I have to pay for it... So I'm looking for a different host right now, I asked Skip to let me use his server because its only upto 4MB worth of files. I will have to wait for his response on this and continue from there, if he agrees we'll have it up ASAP, if he won't I will try and seek out another source. plz check first post edit, hipro5 came up with something, try downloading it if it doesn't work for you, when u dled it from my first attachment.

[The Coolest]

Bumpity Bump!
OK, got new host!!! (Ploaf, thanks a lot!!)
