Phenomic Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 AMD FX-8350 is not throttling, always runs at 4.1 GHz and high VCore. K10stat doesn't work on FX CPUs. Also video crashes on boot 3-4 times but eventually works if I keep rebooting. I get corrupted video as soon as the desktop loads. I have nVidia GTX 550 Ti with driver 331.82 (BlackWingCat nvw2k33182). Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomic Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 I can use AmdMsrTweaker_1.1 to set the p-state manually:AmdMsrTweaker v1.1.:. General--- AMD family 0x15, model 0x2 CPU, 8 cores Default reference clock: 200 MHz Available multipliers: 0.5 .. 31.5 Available voltage IDs: 0 .. 1.55 (0.0125 steps).:. Turbo--- enabled unlocked.:. P-states--- 7 of 8 enabled (P0 .. P6) Turbo P-states: P0 P1 --- P0: 21x at 1.425V NorthBridge in NB_P0 P1: 20.5x at 1.3875V NorthBridge in NB_P0 P2: 20x at 1.3125V NorthBridge in NB_P0 P3: 17x at 1.2125V NorthBridge in NB_P0 P4: 14x at 1.1125V NorthBridge in NB_P0 P5: 10.5x at 1V NorthBridge in NB_P0 P6: 7x at 0.875V NorthBridge in NB_P0 --- NB_P0: 11x at 1.1625V... but ACPI power management is not working. CPU doesn't power up on demand nor does it throttle when idle. BTW, I tried posting photos from my Dropbox, but forum rejects the "extension".

Phenomic Posted December 8, 2014 Author Share Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) OK, so no embedded image but click-the-link works: https://www.dropbox.com/s/x4j6198uzfptqf3/Win2K-FX-8350-Cinebench.bmp?raw=1 FX-8350 runs faster than my stock i5-3570K, even though Win2K CPU driver is not optimized for FX Piledriver and doesn't understand multi-threading. Also everything works on the Sabertooth, including USB 3.0 and ASMedia SATA. For Win2K this is as good as it gets! https://www.dropbox.com/s/czqx84ao7s1jonm/Win2K-DevMan.bmp?raw=1 Edited December 8, 2014 by Phenomic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can still download the image if you right click the link and "save link as" if you want. All just a user preference.Cheers and Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnX Posted January 3, 2015 Share Posted January 3, 2015 AMD doesn't really recommend the FX CPU throttling in the first place as its known to reduce performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnX Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 And one more thing - I'm planning to install Win2k on my AMD FX-based system as well on a spare drive. Can you tell me where to get the appropriate modified drivers from? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phenomic Posted March 26, 2015 Author Share Posted March 26, 2015 And one more thing - I'm planning to install Win2k on my AMD FX-based system as well on a spare drive. Can you tell me where to get the appropriate modified drivers from? Sorry for the late reply. Everything is a straight install, + BlackWingCat's nVIDIA Display 270.61 for Windows 2000. CPU throttling is the only problem. FX-8350 runs at full speed, though you can throttle manually with AmdMsrTweaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
