How Do I Get Turbo Mode CPU Frequency Information? [AMD A6-3420M]

Hey guys. Just about everything reports my maximum frequency is 1.5GHz and under heavy load it shows my current frequency is 1.5GHz. I've read quite a bit of posts about similar CPUs and I'm assured that turbo is in fact working. Is there any tool available to measure it though? i7z is for Intel processors only and tpc outputs a lot of errors (and also doesn't seem to offer a convenient way to see the current frequency but I couldn't play with it much as most options output an error, it got my temperature just fine).
I just want to know because I do play with overclocking on Windows, I'd like to ultimately achieve such a setup on Arch. It's not an absolute need but I do like to know what frequencies my CPU is running anyways .
Cheers!

try cpufreq-aperf, it gives me correct turbo for interlagos based cpus, but doesn't work for magny cours (aperf is not available).  i suspect aperf is available for the A6 (cat /proc/cpuinfo|grep aperf)

  • HP Phoenix 8-core - how do I get XP Mode to work in Windows 7 64-bit?

    My Computer:  HP Phoenix 8-core, 12 GB Ram, over 1,000GB hard drive space, Win 7 SP1 with current updates.  Downloaded and installed the following:  Windows XP Mode with Windows Virtual PC, the hotfix MS provided for AMD multicore, and the MS Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool which informed me that my computer does have hardware-assisted virtualization.  I have done EVERYTHING Microsoft has advised.

  • I have an optical sensor how do I get a RPM or frequency measuremen​t?

    I have three optical sensors on a gyroscope rig connected to
    a 6601 card producing a square wave of 0-5V. I can get an edge count.  But how do I get an RPM or frequency
    measurement?

    Dear Ian
    I have to say I’m not having a lot of luck with the example finder.  I have three optical sensors all hooked up to LabVIEW.  I can count the pulses no problem, I just don’t seem to be able to connect a clock.  As I think I want a “Period Measurement” or a “Buffered Period.”
    Best wishes

  • How do I get draft mode on HP Officejet 4500?

    How do I get draft mode with an HP Officejet, 4500 other than in text edit?

    Hi sdtvghjyctu,
    Here are the steps to register your printer with ePrint and get the printers email ID.
    1. Connect the printer to a wifi network with internet connectivity.
    2. Let the printer fetch the IP address.
    3. Click on the ePrint Icon on the printer and continue with the process of registration.
    4. The printer will guide you through the rest of the process.
    5. An Information sheet will be printed at the end of the process which will contain the code.
    6. The Code followed by @hpeprint.com will be your printers email ID.
    Claiming your printer in eprintcenter or HPConnected will enable you to secure your printer, add apps and many other features.
    I hope this helps.
    Kind Regards,
    Oliver

  • How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation:?

    How do you get to the "Multiple Item Information" window so I can click "Part of a compilation"?  When I transfer a CD to iTunes, and the CD has ten tracks, it loads as ten different albums.  Also, once this happens, do I have to delete the album and start over or is there a way to merge the albums in iTunes?  Using iTunes 10.04.08.

    And you've made me remember that using the compilation flag may only work in iTunes if you go into the Songs view, then use View > Column Browser > Show Column Browser and then View > Column Browser > Group Compilations to make sure this line is ticked.
    It is also best if View > Column Browser > Use Album Artists is also ticked.

    How we can get the current running user information in BusinessOne Application,

    Regards,

    Hi,
    As per me you can't get detail by server side.
    If you want to know who are connected then you can use sp_who2 procedure in SQL query.
    That will display who are login.
    For more detail you have to check LOG file on client side in SAP B1 > Log folder.
    Thanks

  • LiveCycle Designer won't preview with Reader DC.  Preview mode will not work.  Attempting to preview gets errors (507:507), (103:103), and sometimes crashes LiveCycle Designer.  How do i get preview mode?

    I can not get LiveCycle's preview mode to work.  It has worked in the past, but now with Reader DC i can't use preview mode.  How do i get Adobe LiveCycle designer to work with Reader DC?

    it seems the problem is caused directly by adobe reader X.
    I just have started a new descussion here (adobe reader forum).
    If anyone could help me, feel free to do so!
    my configuration:
    windows xp pro
    adobe reader x
    adobe livecycle designer 9 ( therefore it is not an version 8 issue )
    admin rights on the pc ; )
    I might add that you are not alone!
    I am having the same problem (LSD ES2 (version 9.0.0....) and Adobe Reader X and Acrobat Professional 8)
    Whenever I save a form as PDF and open it with Reader or Acrobat I get to see the console.
    But never when I view the form in Designer preview!
    That used to work until I installed Reader X.
    Same as you I checked all configurations in Reader and Acrobat: all perfect.
    I really do hope that someone finds a solution for this.
    PS. This problem should be discussed in THIS forum. It is clearly a Designer problem!

  • How do I get Firefox to display the information bar when a pop up is blocked

    I accidentally clicked on "Don't show this message when pop-ups are blocked" when a pop up was blocked. How do I get this message to reappear again when a pop up is blocked?
    I generally find pop ups annoying, but sometimes they are necessary to use certain websites properly. Now I can't get the information bar to come back when a pop up is blocked. How do I get it back?
    == Operating system ==
    Windows XP

    You can see a pop-up block icon in the right corner of the Status Bar if you have chosen to hide the information bar at the top.
    You can left-click that pop-up block icon on the Status Bar and remove the check mark from "Don't show info message when pop-ups are blocked"
    You can look at these prefs on the '''about:config''' page and reset them via the right-click context menu:
    Status bar icon: browser.popups.showPopupBlocker
    Info bar at the top: privacy.popups.showBrowserMessage
    To open the ''about:config'' page, type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar and press the Enter key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website.
    If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

  • How can you get an image's resolution information in OS X 10.3?

    In Windows Explorer you can see an image's size and resolution by right-clicking on it and looking at its properties. Is there any way you can get this image information in Finder or by running an AppleScript?
    Thanks in advance,
    Daniel
    Message was edited by: Daniel Walker3

    Hi, Daniel. The Finder doesn't know anything about the resolution of an image file — that's why you can't ask the Finder to display it. Resolution simply isn't a Finder-accessible attribute. You need to use an image-editing, -viewing or -browsing application to display an image's resolution on a Mac. There are dozens of such apps to choose from, ranging from freeware to Photoshop, and they all work differently and have different capabilities from each other.
    Let me add that an image's dimensions (length and width, in cm or inches) are meaningful only when it is printed. They have nothing at all to do with how it is displayed on a computer screen. And similarly, the image's resolution expressed in ppi (pixels per inch) is meaningless except when you're printing it, since the size at which you print it literally determines its ppi.
    What is far more meaningful to know about an image is its dimensions in pixels, e.g. 1024 x 768, 1680 x 2240, etc., since those pixel dimensions are what actually limit the image's visual quality at any given size, both on a computer display and in print. The image's file size in KB or MB can also be useful, although if the image has been compressed into a .jpg file, its file size may be misleadingly small.

    Hi - thanks for that...I don't know quite why I had probs with the BIOS before...
    I have 266 memory...so have indeed set the FSB in BIOS to 133, and it's fine, showing CPU running at 1700mhz as expected ... and so yes I'm off to buy some 333mz memory, so I can crank FSB up to 166 and get my CPU running at 2.1Ghz

  • KT4V mobo - how do I get the best out of my AMD chip

    Hi
    I have an MSI KT4V motherboard...
    I recently bought an AMD XP3000+ Barton processor....
    (which I have checked the serial number etc and as is one that runs at 333Mhz)
    THEN I realised the processor is only running at about 1.3Mhz instead of 2.167Mhz...  and I was told that I need to replace my RAM with some that runs at 333Mhz
    At the moment, my FSB runs as standard at 100, and I can tweak it to abotu 110. BUT if I try to run it at 166 (which it should be at forthis processor) the system crashes ... presumably ecause the RAM I have can't cope (the old RAM is not 333mhz)
    ANY HELP.... please...  IF I simply buy some PC2700 (333Mhz) memory, will that make it possible to set the FSB at 166, and get my processor running at full speed??
    cheers
    Phil
