Done. Seems to be working well. Base sat at 55c. I sat the trip in the general rule at 60c and saw that it often got to 67c before it was taken back under control so works with safe limits of the chip. Curious about one thing, your program auto configs the Tjunction at 70c when AMD rates the max temp to 69c. (In the last 2 days learned a lot about CPU chips and thermal reading definitions, most this morning! lol) Think it is better to go by what the chip says it is rated for or the company that made it?
I am simply amazed with how many programs misread this board's sensor chips and thus the CPUs as well... Many only want to look at 1 processor and not both. Of all of the ones out there, your program as well as CoreTemp are the only 2 that accuratly see the system.
When I initially sat this system up (a week ago) and started my favorite program Everest, it told me all was fine and the cores were all around 35c average and 40c under load... When I loaded CPUid's HWMonitor to work with a gadget I like and made the discovery I was averaging closer to 70c (and the max thermal is 69c) I was petrified! I realized the heatsinks I was sold for the dual opterons with dual cores was not the right ones... (was perfect if they weren't dual core).
I've learned after that HWMeter was misreading the identity of the winbond chip as well as the chipset of the board thus was way off on its figures. (they are going back and forth with me trying to fix the issue with their software) In the mean time, I did a internet search for ANY programs to regulate power and thus lower the temp until the new heatsinks arrive. Nothing... not a single program was out there that saw this board correctly and would attempt to lower voltages or multipliers. When I came across your program I was skeptical at first but when I saw it hit the magic 55c mark and start slowly throttling back on the 1 processor I was very much relieved that I would still have a usable computer until the new heatsinks arrived.
Even though I would much prefer the lowering of voltage and multipliers (these opterons are the scalable OSP class) this one is a system saver! Great work!
