EVGA GPU Voltage Tuner 1.0

[ATTACH]4890[/ATTACH]

[ATTACH]4891[/ATTACH]

Owners of (a number of) EVGA GeForce GTX 200 series cards can now get more power out of their DirectX 10-supporting babies thanks to the newly-released GPU Voltage Tuner. As the name suggests, the application provided by EVGA enables users to easily increase the voltages of the graphics card to help overclock the core and shader frequencies to a whole other level.

Available only for registered EVGA card owners, the GVT works with the GeForce 181.22 drivers (and everything above it), Windows XP, Vista and 7, and currently supports the following card models:

EVGA GPU Voltage Tuner v1.0 - Patch for vendor restriction & voltage limit removal (οχι που δεν θα εβγαζαν! )

Description:

EVGA recently released a nice, user-friendly tool to allow users to adjust their graphic cards' voltages.

However, as expectedly, they restricted this tool to only work on EVGA-branded graphic cards. They also

imposed a voltage limit (perfectly understandable) to avoid people adjusting voltages through the roof

and massively increasing RMA rates. With this patch, you, the user, are able to remove those imposed

limits, including graphics card manufacturer/model limitations (tested only by GT200/212 users), and

voltage limitations (now up to 2000 mV = 2.00v).

Επειδη γινεται ενας ντορος με το patch και το ποιος θα το host-αρει, αν το λινκ δεν δουλευει στειλτε μου ενα πμ να το ανεβασω εγω καπου

Η ατακα "μυριζει σουβλακια" προβλεπεται να ακουστει πολλες φορες...

FurMark 1.6.5

ChangeLog:

* Change: workaround for Catalyst 9.1 when Catalyst A.I is enabled: all textures used by FurMark are now in 4-channel RGBA format (in the previous versions, some textures were in 3-channel RGB format…).

* Change: the OpenGL version used by the renderer is now displayed in stability test mode (near renderer’s description) - thanks to David Legrand

* Change: by default the creation of an OpenGL 3.0 rendering context is disabled. If you want to enable it, just start FurMark in command line with the /gl3 parameter or use the batch file called Start-FurMark-OGL3.bat.

* Change: small modifications in OpenGL 3.0 context creation.

* Change: workaround for Catalyst 9.1 bug in glGetString(GL_VERSION) when an OpenGL 3.0 context is used.

* Removed: timer check in contest mode.

Rivatuner 2.23

What's new:

* Added ForceWare 182.xx drivers family support.

* Updated databases for Detonator and ForceWare drivers. Added databases for ForceWare 181.20, 181.22 and 182.05.

* Added Catalyst 9.1 drivers family detection.

* Updated PCI DeviceID database for NVIDIA display adapters.

* Added reference fan duty cycle monitoring and low-level fan control tab for G92 based display adapters using integrated on-die fan controller (e.g. GeForce 9800GTX series). Please take a note that low-level fan control tab for display adapters using integrated fan controller is provided only as a workaround allowing you to control the fan if the drivers are completely unable to do it. It is strongly not recommended to use low-level fan control for integrated fan controllers if driver-level fan control functions properly.

* Added heuristic driver version detection for unattached display devices (for example the secondary GPUs in SLI/Crossfire mode invisible to OS) under Windows Vista.

* Improved driver-level overclocking and fan control for NVIDIA multi-GPU systems.

* Improved hardware monitoring module, New sticky graphs mode was designed special for multi-GPU systems

* Updated bundled RivaTunerStatisticsServer v3.1.0 utility:

o Minor skin appearance changes, "Normal" application detection level has been renamed to "Low" for better understanding.

o Improved hooking system injects code into OS kernel's LoadLibrary functions by precached offsets and improves compatibility with some protective systems, faking the real LoadLibrary function offsets (e.g. latest revisions of SecuRom coming with new games like Dead Space, Need for speed : Undercover etc). Now such games no longer crash on startup when the server is running and LoadLibrary hooking is enabled by selecting "High" application detection level.

o Added pre-created profiles for 3D applications, which require non-standard On-Screen Display coordinate space settings (e.g. Codename Panzers : Phase Two and Alpha Prime).

o Added pre-created profiles for new pseudo-3D applications.

* Updated bundled D3DOverrider v2.0.0 utility

* Added experimental display configuration tracking mode. Power users may enable this mode using DisplayConfigurationTracking registry entry to force RivaTuner to track changes in your display adapters configuration (e.g. toggling SLI mode on/off or disabling secondary display adapter in the device manager). RivaTuner will reinitialize logical devices list and restart hardware monitoring module on display configuration change.

* Minor GUI changes and improvements.

* Many more (check revision changes)

Radeon Bios Editor v1.19

v 1.19

* Fixed a startup bug causing the main window not to show up.

* Added experimental voltage register access. RBE automatically figures out if the card's equipped with a VT11xx. Just use register 15 for underclocking/undervolting and register 18 for overclocking. Register tweaking will override the voltage table. Still, you should adjust your powerplay settings according to the new register values.

Rivatuner 2.24

Version 2.24:

Minor bugfixes:

* Fixed bug in hardware monitoring module causing hardware monitoring based scheduled tasks to be ignored due to improper initialization on RivaTuner startup.

* Fixed erroneous 100MHz memory clock reading on G9x GPU series based display adapters caused by bug in memory clock frequency generator source clock detection code.

* File system redirection is no longer disabled when executing a patch script under 64-bit OS to prevent the issues with missing file system browser dialog when pressing the "Continue" button.

* Heights of sticky graphs in the group are now updated properly when manually editing fixed graph height settings in the properties of any graph of the group.

* Fixed bug into startup daemon routine of RivaTunerStatisticsServer and D3DOverrider utilities causing these tools to be started and reside in memory without displaying tray icon under certain conditions.

What's new:

* Added database for ForceWare 182.06.

* Added Catalyst 9.2 drivers family detection.

* Updated PCI DeviceID database for ATI display adapters.

* Improved Logitech G15 keyboard LCD support in hardware monitoring module:

o RivaTuner no longer maps OSD text to Logitech keyboard LCD, now there is separate "Show in LCD" option in the data source properties window allowing you to define independent output configurations for OSD and LCD. Previously available power user oriented MapOSDToLCD regitry entry is no longer in use.

o Previously available power user oriented LCD font size adjustment option is now also available in the data source properties.

o New dynamic LCD re-connection mode ensures proper LCD output when LCD software is being restarted dynamically.

* Added heuristic on-die fan PWM controller detection for G92 based display adapters to provide proper low-level fan control and reference fan duty cycle monitoring for both reference desing and alternate display adapters using the fan connected to alternate on-die PWM controller (e.g. Palit GeForce 9800GT series).

* Improved detection algorithms for core and memory clock frequency generators switching to PCIE bus clock on NV40 and newer NVIDIA graphics processors. The algorithms are still experimental, so both core and memory clock frequency generator bypassing detection can be forcibly disabled via EnableNVPLLBypassingDetection and EnableMPLLBypassingDetection registry entries.

* Updated RivaTunerStatisticsServer v3.1.1 bundled utility. This version is a maintenance release, it doesn't contain new features besides the fix mentioned above.

* Updated D3DOverrider v2.0.1 bundled utility. This version is a maintenance release, it doesn't contain new features besides the fix mentioned above.

RealTemp 3.20 RC3

I went back to the old C++ compiler for better compatibility and cleaned up a few minor bugs. As always, if there are any new issues, then let me know. I added a few minor things like adjustable heading colors and a system tray pop up for Nvidia owners showing the Min and Max temperature.

Bludd: The Thermal Status area of RealTemp reports the status of the PROCHOT bit within Intel Core processors. It is independent of the core temperature but typically PROCHOT is activated when Distance to TJMax counts down to about 3. It can vary a little from processor to processor and it also seems to be effected by the rate at which the core temperature is increasing. RealTemp and other software usually only samples once per second. There is a register / flag in the processor that will be set even if PROCHOT is activated only momentarily.

RealTemp reads that bit and will change OK to WARN if this flag goes off. If thermal throttling continues, this will change to HOT which shows that thermal throttling is in progress. This will cycle the multi down to 6.0 on Core 2 based chips and down to 12.0 for Core i7 CPUs to help control heat and hopefully keep the processor from ever reaching TJMax.

This cycling is happening thousands of times a second so software only sampling once per second may not always report the lower multiplier depending on the timing of when it reads the temperature sensors.

Here's my favorite example of thermal throttling in action. I ran Prime95 Small FFTs for 3 hours with the CPU fan turned off. Yepp, it got kind of warm but even with a mild 20% overclock and some additional core voltage, the CPU ran 100% stable like this for 3 hours.

Only once in 3 hours did one core hit 100C as shown in the middle of the temperature graph. 3 cheers for Intel. Lousy temperature sensors but great processors.

At 107C, the supposed CPU TCase sensor reading looks a little overly optimistic.
