Re: IBM_ECW : Power management tool for T4x/R5x

Half good news. IBM_ECW can set multipliers for X9100, but is unable to perform the first necessary step to unlock the Extreme CPUs like Throttlestop with it´s unlock button. In the german forum a method was developed to run a X9100 Extreme C2D with only one simple Wirebridge. I can reach 3GHz with ...

Re: IBM_ECW : Power management tool for T4x/R5x

Is IBM_ECW able to really "set" the multiplier for X9x00 Core2Extreme CPUs? I am awaiting one from Chinca those days and highly prefer IBM_ECW over Throttlestop....

Someone solved the sound stuttering issues? By uninstalling IBM_ECW i get much less, but still not perfect.

Re: Install a 1066MHz FSB CPU on T61 (including Core 2 Quad)

Any links for the hacked 2.29 Bios´s? ASPM possible or not?

Anyone knowing if the 2.27 Versions really do have DUAL-IDA enabled?

Thx

Re: IBM_ECW : Power management tool for T4x/R5x

Sorry if I was not clear enough in my previous posts. Let me recap and tell me whether the following is correct : - If you put "2700i" (with a lowercase I) in the config dialog, the CPU will refuse to transition from 2500 to 2700 MHz if the CPU is working hard (this is obviously most noticeable in ...

Re: IBM_ECW : Power management tool for T4x/R5x

I always have mine fixed to maximum multiplier in plugged condition. Power consumption is the same thanks to C-states. Starting Prime like this keeps it at 2700MHz. When i set to automatic the maximum is 2500MHz as you said. As it stays around 74° (C) i think it´s not a temp problem. Even when i low...

Re: IBM_ECW : Power management tool for T4x/R5x

Report on the newest version (ver. 1.0.5.4): Youtube videos 720p stutter (not smooth and sound hangs) even if CPU is fixed at 2700Mhz and usage is low...must be something with your new routine i assume! Switching off ECW solves that!

Re: IBM_ECW : Power management tool for T4x/R5x

I was thinking, just as a workaround, maybe the programme can use an if condition when checking the temperature, that is, if the temperature reading is, let's say, 5 or 10 degrees higher or lower than the last reading, then it won't change the fan status? This is to assume no heatsink can drop the ...

Re: IBM_ECW : Power management tool for T4x/R5x

Great work, except the fan controller (my T61 seems to be bitchy there), everything works perfect!

For me it would be great, if switching of profiles would not only be possible with Hotkeys but also upon disconnection of the power supply. But i do not know if this is very complicated to catch.
