GCPUID - A simple way to identify your CPU

[Assimilator1]

Or a desktop cpu converted to a mobile

 

[ps2cho]

No im trying to run it on my brothers ESC K7VTA Mobo (via chipset) He has a mobile 2600 and his bios has NO overclocking options and its reading his cpu as 6x145 = 880MHz :/ im trying to fix that for him, would this oslve his problem?

 

[Assimilator1]

If his VIA chipset is one of those thats support s/w multipler etc switching then yes it will.

AFAIK the red clock button will always show with a Mobile cpu plugged in ,its the red & white icon to the right of the 'about' icon & left of the 'exit' icon.Its called 'K7 K8 FID/VID Control'.
Even my Nfrc2 mbrd rig shows the icon, I just can't use it .......

[edit]There's a picture of it here http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=314#314

Here's a list of supported chipsets http://www.cpuheat.wz.cz/html/Tweaks.htm

Note with some (all?) chipsets you have to alter the bit setting on specific registers.My Abit KT7a v1.3 (KT133a) only worked with it after I did that.Though it wouldn't work at all on my brothers A7V133

Have you got a list of supported chipsets? (I can't remember)

[edit]couldn't see one at the above top link

 

[The Coolest]

Basically most recent chipsets should support this except the NF2.

03.18.05
Version 1.9.0133 is out.
Added support for all 90nm Rev E chips from AMD.
Added recognition for different types of P4 XEONs and the different sockets.
Rearanged the main screen:
The supported instruction sets were moved up, and now only take up one line, it only states the supported instruction sets.
AMD PR rating field removed, it only worked on K7s and it was very inaccurate... L2 Cache Ratio, moved to the Cache Info page.
Changed the appearance of all the labels in the program to sleaker looking ones.
I hope you like this new layout. I changed it because I wanted to conserve space, so I could add more features later in the future, but didn't want the size of the window grow any larger than it already was. The layout redesign helped me reduce the size of GCPUID by a very large margine.

It could still have some bugs, related to the GUI, if you find any bugs please post them here: http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/forums/viewforum.php?f=23

Cool ,I'll try it out at a latter point

 

[The Coolest]

This version has a bug on chips without MMX or 3DNow, it'll show extra comma between supported instructions. This has been fixed and I'm preping an update to be released soon, maybe even today.

 

[man_utd]

Any way to fix that C1 or 533fsb or lower Northwoods don't show up with HTT?

 

[The Coolest]

What do you mean? GCPUID checks for the amount of CPUs that the system has. If windows sees two CPUs, so will GCPUID.

 

[Assimilator1]

He means HT ,Hyper Threading

Which as far as 533FSB models go its only on the 3.06GHz version.
3GHz with the 800FSB I think ,possibley lower?

 

[The Coolest]

There's a difference between the model P4*.*C and C1, C1 is core stepping, the C in P4*.*C means its a 800MHz FSB chip and has HT.

All P4Cs have HT and only the 3.06GHz P4B (533MHz FSB) has HT.

Thank you -- excellent!

04.25.05
Version 1.9.0171 is out.
Added new 90nm Rev E chips from AMD to the list.
Added some Dual Core Athlon64 X2 and Opteron support, the model number might not be correct on the A64 X2, and the Opterons will show 1xx, 2xx or 8xx, depending on the type of chip.
Added Bus speed detection for all K8/K9 chips! From now on you can also see your bus speed.
Fixed a few problems with the driver. Now the driver only loads once when you start the program, instead of constantly starting and closing when needed (Makes the program faster, use less memory, and "Better written").
Rewrote and improved some code for better compatibility.

05.12.05
Version 1.9.0192 is out.
Confirmed Turion 64 support.
Added Athlon64 X2 support, dual core opteron support.
Added a register dump option (Click on the 'HTML' icon, select "Save text output", click ok and you should have an "Output.txt" file either in the program's folder or the folder you ran the shortcut from).
Added PCI Scan function, it can detect all PCI devices (this includes chipset, onboard devices and AGP, the PCI Scan can be found in the Output.txt file).
Intel CPUs, starting the Pentium Pro (all supported AMD CPUs have a string name), will now be given a "Name String", this field will no longer say "N/A".
Rewrote part of code that's responsible for Intel CPU recognition for much better compatibility, and broader CPU support*.
Fixed/Added mobile platform detection.
Fixed a small bug on K7/K8 FID VID window, when you change the FID, now the speed will automatically refresh.
* Still no Pentium D or Pentium XE support, working on it.

Major update

Release Candidate Version 2.0.0004 is out.
The biggest change is that GCPUID is now completely made in Visual C++, which means that there is no more need for large run time files like with Visual Basic version and no installation required.
There are numerous updates to the CPU support list:
It supports all latest CPUs.
Including the latest A64 X2s and Pentium D and Pentium XE.
GCPUID can also change Pentium M (Banias and Dothan) multipliers and voltage, there's still some bugs with the voltage part, but multiplier works great.
GCPUID now has a PCI Device list directly in the program so you can see what hardware is installed in your machine, it finally shows the chipset as well (under System). The motherboard information is not ready yet.
Most of the features that Visual Basic version had were preserved. Only the make HTML and copy to clipboard functions are now gone.
*Please read the Readme.txt for extra info.
So go ahead and try it out!

 

[Assimilator1]

Nice work
Will grab & try it out soon.

Don't suppose anyones managed to get the Nfrc2's to work with these programs yet have they?

 

[The Coolest]

RC Ver 2.0.0006.
The only update is the auto-refresh feature for CPU speed. An auto-refresh occurs every five seconds, if you want to refresh the whole window, press F5 or click "File" menu then chose "Refresh".
A bug with reporting cache speed was fixed.

Is this program detecting the x2 cores properly? Both the GCPUID and the MaxTCase programs tell me that I have a Toledo while cpu-z tell me it's a Manchester.

 

[The Coolest]

both GCPUID and AMD64 MaxTCase use the same code to identify the AMD64 CPUs. And yes GCPUID tells detects it as toledo because its a cut down toledo core.
CPUID of 20FB1 is Manchester
CPUID of 20F32 is Toledo
CPUz is wrong and it needs to be updated. Hopefully Franck will make the appropriate fixes so there will be no differences in recognizing these chips with his newer version.
