Cool'n'Quiet not working like it should!

Well, I decided to try Cool'n'Quiet to see how much cooler and quieter my system would get. So I enabled it in BIOS and set Windows power management to Minimal, and watched the clock speed and voltage go down as the CPU load went down.
It stopped at about 1.3v and 1800 Mhz. It won't go any further! My friend practically has the same setup except he uses a 3000+ ClawHammer, and his clock speed and voltage decreases much more than mine. I've read that the clock speed should hit 1000 Mhz.
To answer some possible questions, yes, I have installed the latest AMD processor driver and yes, the CPU load is under 10% when I'm checking.
Thanks in advance!

If you install the latest beta BIOS 1.2B12, you will see that CnQ can drop the multiplier down to 5.   But some people have seen instability with that BIOS.  I have not.

    If DU reports errors it cannot repair you will need touse autility like TechTool Pro,Drive Geniusor DiskWarrior
    First we need to determine if the issue you are experiencing with the computer is software or hardware based. Once we have gotten things sorted out there should be time enough to make you decision about keeping or returning it.

  • ITunes Wi-fi sync not working like it should.

    So I got a new ipod touch 4th generation because my other one broke. I'm trying to set up wifi sync so I don't have to connect the device to the computer incase it malfunctions. Half the time it doesn't work, and if it does work, I still have to connect it directly to the computer. Sometimes I use wifi sync the first time and it doesn't work, then I plug it into my computer and it detects it. Then I unplug it and use wifi sync and it works like it should. So it kind of defeats the purpose of using wifi sync if everytime I want to sync content through wifi, I'm forced to connect the ipod to the computer. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Please Help!
    Also, my Ipod is not even a month old and is working like new. It is refurbished.

  • AMD Athlon 64 Cool and Quiet - not working

    Hello,
    everything is now working on my Arch workstation, except c'n'q.
    First, I searched the forum for information and tried quite a lot of things, yet it is not working.
    The following modules are loaded:
    * powernow-k8
    * cpufreq_ondemand
    As for the daemons:
    * acpid
    * cpufreqd
    The CPU is always up running at full speed. In other distros I was used to daemons like powernowd who did the frequency scaling, and so I went on and pacman'ed powernowd (pkgbuild), yet it does not work. Of course c'n'q is enabled in BIOS. Btw, I also tried athcool.
    I'd be glad for any help.

  • RegExp not working like it should

    Maybe I just need another pair of eyes looking at this, but I have a RegExp instance that should work according to multiple tools on the web but it's not matching when it should in my application.  The expression should match if there isn't any leading or trailing spaces.  Here's a code snippet:
    var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp("^\S.*\S$|^\S(?!.)", "s");
    if(regexp.exec("Hello World") == null)
         trace("NO MATCH");
    Using tools such as Grant Skinners RegExr (http://gskinner.com/RegExr/) it appears that the previous code should get a match.  Does anyone see an issue or know why it isn't working?

    Hi All,
    while assigning value to a RegEx in constructor itself, we can either specify pattern (for which we need not  escape already escaped character)
    like
    var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp(/^\S.*\S$|^\S(?!.)/s)
    or we can specify a string (for which we need to escape already escaped characters)
    like
    var regexp:RegExp = new RegExp("^\\S.*\\S$|^\S(?!.)","s")

  • 870A-G54 - Cool'n Quiet not working

    Hi folks,
    I've just got an 870A-G54 ( http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=proddesc&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2057 ) and have a Athlon II x3 450 in there. I've tried to get Cool'n Quiet working but it's simply not throttling the CPU. Both AMD Overdrive and windows system-panel show the speed to be 3.2Ghz on all three cores despite the PC idling.
    - The power-management is set to minimal.
    - Cool'n Quiet is "enabled" in the Bios - also tried "auto" to no avail.
    - I've installed the drivers from the website. Whenever I try to install them again I get a message saying they're "already installed". I can't seem to find a way to uninstall them (nothing in add/remove panel). I've even uninstalled all my other AMD processor drivers/utilities (i.e. Overdrive), but it /still/ says I have the drivers installed.
    Using Windows XP SP3 32 bit.
    Note: I have not, overclocked, nor do I intend to.
    Any suggestions on how to remove the driver and re-install it? Or, what else may be wrong?
    Thanks.

    Ok, fresh install of XP SP3 on a separate partition. Absolutely nothing changed from the base install (apart from the mouse-buttons swapped). I try and install the Cooln'Quiet drivers from the MSI website (bottom of - http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=downloaddetail&type=driver&maincat_no=1&prod_no=2057 ).
    When I try and install it, it gives an error saying:
    "The machine does not have a supported AMD Athlon 64 Processor".
    This happened with this partition of XP too, but I couldn't replicate it so thought maybe it was my memory or I was going crazy. CPU is still reporting 3.2Ghz.
    The download page states: "• AMD Athlon™ 64/Sempron™/Turion™ 64/Opteron™ systems". My processor is an "Athlon II". Looking at the date and the version number, the drivers are very out-dated. The other version I aquired from who-knows-where is XP 1.3.2 for XP and almost a year later. The MSI page has 1.2.2.0. The Athlon II's date from 2009 onwards according to wikipedia.
    So where do I get current Cooln'Quiet drivers?
    Also, as mentioned I've tried both "Optimized" defaults and "fail-safe" defaults in the BIOS with CoolnQuiet enabled. No change.

  • Problems with "find nearby missing photos", not working like it should in LR4

    After I imported photos into LR4 I decided to split the event within the same folder creating 2 subfolders and proceeded to move the files within the finder. Went to LR4 and synchronized the folder but it didn't fix the file location on the missing files. So I tried finding individual files and checked the "Find nearby missing photos" but this doesn't seem to work like it did in LR3, because it won't find any nearby missing files even though they are right there new to each other in the same folder.
    I don't want to dremove them and re-import because I have added ratings and I fear I would loose this info if I did that...

    Your assumption that you would loose your ratings and develop settings is correct, if you would re-import.
    Reimporting is never a good idea.
    For the rest you have two alternatives: either you reconnect one image after another, or you undo on OS level what you did in the first place, then execute the move inside LR.
    Depending on how many images you moved this could actually be the fastest route out.
    "Find nearby missing photos" did not work reliably for me either in LR3. I have never found out when it did and when not, so I have preferred to learn how to perform any such operation inside LR.
    Another valid question is why you do not use collections for your desired split , and leave the folders as they were.
    According to my prejudice MAC users would not be as conservative in sticking to folder structures as Windows users..;-))
    Once you master LR folders could be very unimportant storage buckets, as every angle for organizing your images would be covered by (smart) collections and keywords and other metadata.
    Good luck, Cornelia

  • Cool and Quiet Not Working

    Just re-formatted my hard drive and re-installed everything. Cool and Quiet is enabled in BIOS and AMD drivers are installed. However, according to CoreCenter, the CPU and fan speeds never change. The CPU constantly reads 2.2Ghz. On my previous installation everything worked without a problem and the CPU used to drop to about 800Mhz. Cool and Quiet is enabled in Corecenter.
    Does anyone please have any idea what the problem could be.   
    Thankyou.

    I don't know about fan speeds, Core Center isn't supported on the RS480, so I use PC Alerts 4 utility from MSI. But to check if the CPU is in the low power state, I just go to Control Panel and System then it tells you what your CPU speed is. Alternatively, you can right-click on My Computer and go to Properties, that pulls up the same window.

  • Power button not working like it should...

    When booting up, I have to press power button several times. Finally, when it does come on (Pavilion dv6Notebook), the fan runs quite a bit. I am worried my hard drive is about to go. Any tips?

    Try a soft reset and see what happens.
    If the power button is not working, here is a link for a program that remaps the power button on your TX so you can hard reset and power off.
    There is a program called PowerBtn 2.0. This allows you to turn off the device when the power button does not work. (Thanks to Computerwiz for the info.)

  • IMessage not working like it should!

    I have a problem that I'm sure other people have as well.
    The problem in a few words is that iMessage is not capable of fast switching between Wi-Fi and cellular network.
    Example 1:
    When I am texting with my girlfriend and I'm inside my house, but a bit too far from my router (but still connected to it, yet with a weak signal), the iPhone often fails to send the message (red dot error) or with a certain amount of delay (usually a minute or two).
    Example 2:
    When I am outside, on a location where I don't have a 3G connection and obviously no Wi-Fi either, I have the same issue as described in the example above. It also occurs when having a 3G connection, but this issue is much less occuring.
    In my opinion, Apple should seriously rethink the way iMessage works, cause it is quite annoying when you think that a message has been sent. When you check your iPhone 20 min/ 1 hour/ 2 hours... later, and you find out the message hasn't got out, you feel like smashing the phone against a wall. Especially when the message is urgent.
    I never have this problem with What's App, that's why I prefer to continue using this. Maybe Apple should buy them, so they have at least proper working software.
    Is there a way to fix this? The level of 'this annoys the crap out of me' on a scale from 1 to 10 is 11 right now.

    I notice the same issues with my iPhone and iPad.  I hope there will be a fix for it soon.  The same type of problem occurs when I am using Safari and am farther away from my router at home; my device continues to try using the wi-fi instead of switching to 3G to optimize the download speed.
    Another problem with iMessage: my sister has an iPhone without a data plan and has to turn off iMessage to send texts when she is outside of a wi-fi zone, otherwise it keeps try to send as an "iMessage" instead of a "Text Message" and displays the red dot error that it cannot send.  And when I try sending her an iMessage (my iPhone knows she has iOS 5 with iMessage) it shows as delivered, even though she has her iMessage turned off and does not receive it until she turns it back on.
    One more thing: The whole iMessage to email address and/or phone number is very lame...please make all iMessages (sent and received to either location) sync between registered devices.  It just makes more sense than having 2 conversations open with the same person becasue you iMessage from your iPhone using your phone number then switched to your iPad using your email address..
    There are a lot of things to fix/improve with iMessage to make it as good as WhatsApp or BBM...
    Get to work, Apple!

  • Brand new ipod touch not working like it should??

    I have a brand new ipod touch that i got last tuesday.and every downloaded app will stop working after i have had it for about a day..like it starts to load the app then just goes back to homescreen..all pre-installed apps work fine.
    but i have tryed restoring my ipod and it doesnt really fix it because all the apps stop working just like before..and i have also tryed deleting and re-installing the apps but is still doing the same thing.
    Is there a way to fix this or should i get it replaced??

  • GotoAndStop not working like it should (AS3 / CS4)

    Hi everyone, I've recently started using AS3 in flash and it's giving me some troubles. Here's the situation:
    On my first frame on the main timeline I  use a gotoAndStop("home") command to go to my homepage which is on frame 45 and labeled "home".
    From frame 2 up to frame 44 there are multiple movieclips with animations and sound in them, which stop at frame 45.
    When I use the gotoAndStop() command in my first frame it seems to work but the sounds of my movieclips in the previous frames keep looping.
    I don't understand why this is happening, since my movieclips aren't even on frame 45.
    Anyway, here's some of my code.
    first frame on main timeline code:
    [CODE]
    import flash.events.MouseEvent;    
    this.gotoAndStop("home");
    [/CODE]
    below that code are my buttons.
    here's the code from one of the buttons I use.
    [CODE]
    function mouse_over(e:MouseEvent){  
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("_over");  
    function mouse_out(e:MouseEvent) {  
    e.currentTarget.gotoAndStop("_up");  
    function mouse_down_center(event:MouseEvent) {  
    btn_center.gotoAndStop("_down");  
    gotoAndStop("home");  
    btn_center.buttonMode = true;   
    btn_center.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, mouse_down_center);  
    btn_center.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,mouse_over);  
    btn_center.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,mouse_out);
    [/CODE]
    I've also tried putting "this." in the button code and making a variable out of "this" to then use that variable in the code. It didn't change anything.
    Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

    Sorry for the somewhat late response, didn't expect people to respond this quickly.
    There are no sounds when I use stop() instead of gotoAndStop() so I guess that means my sounds are coming from the movieclips? Not sure if this helps.
    I looked into using the soundmixer.stopall() but the problem is that I also have a background music playing (which works perfectly by the way) so that code would stop my music as well.
    I guess I should look into loading my sounds via actionscript, do I do that from within my movieclips or from the main timeline frame?
    The problem is that I don't want my sounds to start right at the beginning of the movieclip animation.

  • ObjectInputStream Not Working Like It Should

    i have made a class used to save and load contacts from a phonebook. my saving method works fine and it seems that my loading method is also fine, but for some reason the contacts arent loaded back into the phonebook on startup. here are the methods:
    the save method:
    public void saveContacts(JPanel[] savePanelArray){
            IOPanelArray = savePanelArray;
            out = null;
            try{
                out = new ObjectOutputStream(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("files/contacts")));
                out.writeObject(IOPanelArray);
            }catch(IOException e){
                e.printStackTrace();
            }finally{
                if(out != null){
                    try{
                        out.close();
                    }catch(IOException e){
                        e.printStackTrace();
        }the load method:
    public void loadContacts(JPanel[] loadPanelArray){
            IOPanelArray = loadPanelArray;
            in = null;
            try{
                in = new ObjectInputStream(new BufferedInputStream(new FileInputStream("files/contacts")));

                        in.close();
                    }catch(IOException e){
                        e.printStackTrace();
        }this is how i used the load method in another class:
    public JavaPhonebook(){
            buildMenu();
            buildToolBar();
            buildTabs();
            buildFrame();
            contactIO = new ContactIO();
            contactIO.loadContacts(mainPanelArray);
        }the contacts are only loaded once everything has been "built" so it should work... or am i missing something somewhere? im not too good when it comes to serialization so please bear with me :)

    wow my head is about to explode right now hahaha! i edited the save and load methods to this (the load method aint complete at the moment):
    public void saveContacts(String saveName, String saveNumber, String saveEMail){

  • Chatserver not working like it should

    Hi
    I have created a chatserver and a chatclient where the chatserver is running as a multithreaded server where is can receive multiple requests at a time instead of only being able to handle one request at a time.
    When i start up the server, it works fine and then i start up the client which seems to work fine, but on the server side im getting a "NullPointerException". I think that the server doesnt find the socket to the client.
    This is the chatserver code:

    Any help i appericiated. Thanks.
