GCPUID - A simple way to identify your CPU

[sammy]

Thanks for writing this program - it is the Cool'st

I am using it on an MSI KT6 Delta(200FSB)
with a Mobile 2500XP-M.

I have tried everything to get ghost feature to work and cannot, so I need some help.
I first tried just copy and paste of your example, and got nothing.
Then I removed the spaces between multi and volt.
Then I tried opening GCPUID, making the settings and then running the -ghost - with and without the - and different spacings.

I'm running the command in win98se Run, and the only thing that works is the program opens with:
"C:\Program Files\GCPUID\GCPUID.exe"

I wanted to just reset the multiplier to 12.5, have it work during boot.
Can you give a command line that I can copy and paste to see if it will work?

It looks like if I could get it work, that it would only execute during windows boot, and not change what the cmos sets during post.

When I installed the CPU, it came up with the multiplier locked at 14, and changes in cmos have no effect.
I have to run at a less than 200FSB.

Any ideas?
Thanks again

Yes it works, well by the CPUID info the CPU does seem to be a TbredB, there might've been some error over at AMD, try and email them with the stepping you have written on the chip and the CPUID info (and this pic) and see what they say.

TC,

Finally got a follow-up email from AMD. They tell me there was a transition period when Tbred A's and B's were being produced simultaneously and that it is likely my processor was made during this period. It's a moot point by now, as I've upgraded to a Mobile XP and this cpu is now in my wife's machine being UNDERclocked @ 1.35Ghz and 1.25V to keep it cool with low fan speeds.

I might add that a review of GCPUID was recently published on www.geeksonline.org

you should put this to your TARGET line:
"C:\Program Files\GCPUID\GCPUID.exe" -mult(12.5) -volt(1.85) -ghost
should work.
here's a screenshot even to show you how I did it:

 

[sammy]

I just tried what you posted:
In the GCPUID shortcut properties, I copied and pasted your command lines exactly as shown, except I changed the volts from 1.85 to 1.65.
When I executed it, it showed a brief flash of the outlline of program - did not shut down, and after checking, it did not change anything.

I have been unsure of this statement in your Readme.txt:
"do not add spaces between
the -volt/-mult command and the brackets! That is also very important."
There are no spaces in between the -volt/-mult, but the
example that follows it does show spaces.
Example: "C:\Program Files\GCPUID\GCPUID.exe" -mult(12.5) -volt(1.85) -ghost

I know the syntax is important, but am not sure what you mean. I did try all different spacings with no luck.

I should also mention that the FID/VID Control correctly shows my multiplier as 14, but shows all my volts as 1.45, but it actually is 1.625v.

Does the command line have include both volts and multi, or can it just use the multi change?

I really want this to work, what am I doing wrong.

There was this problem with the older version, I updated it about a week ago, you should redownload it now and see if it works, it should now be fixed, and multipliers and voltages should change now.
As I don't have a laptop or a mobile chip unfortunatly I don't have a real way of testing this command line feature...

what I mean no spaces between -mult and -volt is there syntax should always be:
-mult(*.*) or -mult(*) not -mult (*). Same goes for the -volt command.
Thanks for being patient with this proggy

Thanks for clarifying the spacing. I downloaded your latest and it works great! The ghost function changes the multiplier, but it does not shutdown. That's no problem for me because I can just have it load during startup.

Is it suppose to shutdown and then on reboot change to the new multiplier when windows starts?

The voltage didn't change but since it reports 1.45v, instead of the actual 1.625v, the upper limit for this adjustment must be 1.45v.

Now I need to find a program that will change the FSB for a Via KT600 chipset, and things will work out super.

"Thank you" for your efforts in writing this super program.

On a desktop motherboard you can only change multiplier on the fly. No voltage adjustment will work in windows, if you want to change vcore, use the BIOS.
It should not reboot the PC, if that's what you mean about "shutting down", or did you mean that the program itself doesn't close?
It changes the multiplier without you even noticing it, it happens "on-the-fly", so there's no need to reboot the PC. It doesn't touch any settings in the BIOS either, it uses the CPU's built in PowerNow! feature which lets the multiplier be changed internally.

 

[sammy]

Now I understand.
Too darn bad it won't work on nforce motherboards.

Thanks again

i have done....something. i had this popup that was driving me NUTS, in a panic i backed up some serious filage and cleaned out a lot of stuff, a/w after my pc enema gpuid throws me:

and won't load, even with a fresh install. nothing else seems to be affected like gcpuid, not wcpuid or cpu-z or other programs

xp pro sp1
.net framework

?!?!?

 

[The Coolest]

Try to fully uninstall, then reinstall GCPUID

 

[ogboot]

i did, still wouldn't work, is moot now because i decided to reinstall windows and all a/w. now using gcpuid just fine to change multi in windows. however, it wont change the voltage, nor does it show voltage values high enough to overclock

 

[The Coolest]

GCPUID cannot change the voltage on desktop motherboards, as some of the circuitry on desktop boards are missing.

ive been using this program for about 4 monts and i got to say GREAT work and keep it up

 

[winguy]

Unfortunatly that feature is not available on NF2 motherboards, so if you try to change the multiplier or voltage it will lockup your machine, its not that it isn't worth a shot, its just its been proven time after time that this doesn't work on NF2 motherboards

Does this apply to modded mobile cpus only or even genuine mobile cpus' multiplier can't be changed on NF2 boards?

 

[The Coolest]

It aplies to all CPUs, because the nForce2 chipset doesn't support PowerNow! that all programs use to change the multipliers from the OS.

 

[ogboot]

ya nice program the coolest!

Need people with all kinds of A64s and Semprons and what not to test this!

I like this GCPUID, easy to install and use. It's a keeper.
