Dual Core Center displaying wrong CPU clock speed

Hi,
I've got the 965 Platinum board and I have overclocked my E6300 Allendale to 2.331ghz (from 1.86ghz). My problem is that the MSI Dual Core Center is showing my CPU as being clocked at 2.997mhz. It seems to think that, because I've upped the FSB to 333mhz, I must have a CPU with a multiplier of 9 instead of the 7 of the E6300.
If Dual Core Center is not reading the CPU clock correctly how can I trust that it's reading the temperature right (which is really the only reason Ihave it loaded at all). I know the CPU is only set at 2.331 because the BIOS gets it right, System Properties gets it right and Intel's Thermal Analysis Tool gets it right. It's only the Dual Core Center that gets it wrong.

Make sure you are using the newest version of DCC.
Other than that, DCC might not be the best tool to monitor your system.

To monitor core tempertatures use Coretemp: http://www.thecoolest.zerobrains.com/CoreTemp/
A very good program to monitor all kinds of stuff ist everst 3.5.

NX7600GT Diamond Plus and fan speed with Dual Core Center

I just got a NX 7600GT Diamond Plus for my HTPC. I noted that Riva Tuner and other utilities are not able to control the fan speed of the video card. The only way one can control the fan speed is via Dual Core Center and 3D Core Cell. The problem is that the default setting for fan speed on Dual Core Center is too high and clearly audible. How can I get Dual Core Center to start with user defined presets during windows start-up/boot-up ?
What I want to do is to put the fan into 'SILENT' mode automatically during Dual Core Center start-up. Any ideas / suggestions ?

well no need to edit manually, MSI provided everythink in easy way from core center.
select advanced mode, create your custom profile pickup your desired settings,(setup maximum FAN RPM via buttons) and save it to custom profile.
suggest you to read help section from program.
So the custom profile is automatically loaded every time DualCoreCenter starts up ? Maybe there is something wrong with my install of DCC, I cannot get it to load custom profiles automatically upon startup. I can save the changes to say "User Profile 1" but the profile active on startup always is the "default" profile ...

Dual Core Center Fan Speed Control

Hi Everybody,
I have just bought a P35 Neo2 FR motherboard which is great but i have a question about the dual core center software.
I have installed the dual core center software and disabled 'CPU smart fan target' in the bios, but once i have set the CPU fan speed i can't save the settings as the button is greyed off.
Can anybody help me please..

Use speedfan and dump dualcorecenter !
It's infamous, lotta people having troubels with the program.
Search around on this forum and seee how many complaints there are about the program.
Including me.

Is there any way to monitor CPU temp without Dual Core Center

I hate Dual Core Center it has done nothing but lock my system up is there any alteranative to monitor CPU temp/Fan speed

Quote from: Maesus on 21-March-07, 23:34:06
I use speedfan... but for Core 2 Duo, I don't think I have to worry about the CPU temp anymore... they are really coooooooooooooll
Does anybody have an idea what the optimal temperature range for core duo cpu:s are? I used to have an Athlon XP, which was typically 65 °, now the my E6600 is running at 35-40 ° [celsius]. But where's the critical temperature where it burns?

Dual Core Center runs with strange noises

Hello
I just bought a new PC: MSI P45NEO-F (Motherboard) and GALAXY 9600GT (Graphic Card).
I installed Dual Core Center since it was provided as an utility software.
As soon as Dual Core Center is running, strange noises come out from the speakers and they never stop until I close the application. I have to switched off the speaker because it is unbearable. Except the sound from the speakers, computers is working OK. Even Dual Core Center with this noise seems to work.
I am not an expert at all.
Does anyone had this problem or would know where it comes from ?
Computer seems to work OK when Dual Core center is not running.
Thanks

Hello
I just had another look at my problem and I noticed that one of the figure displayed in Dual Core Center was in red. It is the fan speed of system1 in the Fan Menu: the number in red was 995 RPM. As soon as the figure goes above 1000 (it does happen from time to time) the figure becomes green and the strange noise stops.
I have two fans in my computer: the CPU fans whose speed is around 1530 and the System1 fan whose speed is around 995 RPM. There are some setup in the BIOS regarding Fans but I guess everything is properly setup.
Anyway is there anything wrong with a fan system1 speed below 1000 ? Why would Dual Core center put the figure in red in that case and make a noise as a warning ?
Thanks for your help/advices.

New Dual Core Center "it rocks"

There is a new dual core center on MSI's 975x Power up page http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/download/dld/spt_dld_detail.php?UID=746&kind=1
I have tested it quite a bit today .. it rocks...
Everything works ...
It even recognizes my non-MSI Nvidia video card...
Just take the time to set up your separate profiles and save them, otherwise you will keep booting into MSI's default..
So set up your own profiles...
This is the first time that this application has ever worked properly for me ..
and it is great ..
Download it and enjoy...
Be safe and Have fun

Dual Core Center - not worth bothering with?

Hi,
New to this forum so please bear with me!
Just installed a K9N Neo V3 and upgraded to latest BIOS.
Have installed latest version of Dual Core Center software and when I select the the Silent option withing a few seconds the window pops up and it starts playing a Siren sound like something is wrong. It reports the CPU FAN RPM as quite low - but then I have a Artic Cooling Freezer Pro 64 CPU cooler which controls the speed based on temp.
I cant find any instructions on how to use / configure Dual Core Center. How do you adjust warning levels?
Can you adjust the System Fan Speeds based on Temperature?
I tried uninstalling Dual Core Center and installing the latest version of SpeedFan 4.33 but that wont show any FANs at all on the main screen or config screen.
Are there any other software worth trying?
Thanks In Advance

The two SYS FANS that I have installed.
Anyways I seem to have solved the problem - the two fans came with Molex adaptors etc so I just swapped the 12v & 5v connectors round and connected them to the PSU rather than the MB connectors.
Now the PC is ultra queit and still has two fans sucking warm air out - albeit only running at around 900RPM
OK... I'D Like to Understand, If those fans came with Molex Adaptors, How did you Connect them to the Mainboard in first Place?
Now this is How I modded 2 X 12mm FANS that were Molex and came along with my Case.
Chopped off a 3 Pin cable from Old Cpu Cooler That was not being used, Insert the 3 Pin Cable into one of the Fans Molex Adapter as an extension. Because the molex connectors on these fans are Usable via Male/Female, simply connect The 2nd Fan to the 1st one and hooked it up to My Fan Controller, now I have the Ability to control 2 fans on 1 Knob, and I Do Wick them both up to keep My System cool under Load. The Fan Controller is the reason I needed them on a 3 Pin, could easily use both fans on One 5V ZM-MC1 connector just the same.

MSI P35 NEO & dual core center problem

hi, i have a problem with my motherboard msi, Bios 1.2 and the dual core center 2.0.0.8 ,since days ago, the msi dual core center 2.0.0.8 so many times shows fan speeds alerts false alarms from the cpe temp, for that reason, i upgraded the appl to 2.0.1.6 ( the last),i set the oc level to 25% like with the older version, but time later the pc crash and put a black crash screen and it dont let me to overclock my cpu , i get back to 2.0.0.8 but the fan alarm dont stop, and i dont know if the newer version fix this problem
any help?

P6N SLI V2 problem with "dual core center"

I have the P6N SLI V2 with E4400 and 7600gt running XP pro sp 2.
after installing and running MSI's "dual core center" (including .Net framework) I only have the "VGA" option enabled, the "MB" option is disabled as well as the D.O.T option. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling as well as downloading the latest version, but I have the same problem. I get no MB options at all (like no cpu temp, fan speed, core speed etc.). I didn't make any changes to the BIOS yet (other than changing the boot sequence), and ideas?

Don't use MSI's utilities. Anyone here will tell you that.

Help! Dual Core Center

Hi,
I just installed dual core center on Windows 7 Ultimate x64 but it won't allow me to change my CPU fan speed! The MB button is greyed out? How can I change the speed of my CPU like I could before when I used Windows XP and Core Center? My motherboard is the MSI K8N SLI Platinum.
Thanks.

Which one? Please use the full model name of your board, not the MS-xxxx number.
http://eu.msi.com/index.php?func=searchresult&keywords=ms-7100
The full model is the MSI K8N SLI Platinum motherboard.
Ok, I have made some progress on this problem. I have removed Dual Core Center (like everyone says here, it is CRAP!) so now I have managed to get my fan to slow down via the BIOS by enabling the Smart Fan and setting it to 50C. Now my only problem is, I feel that the polling for the temperature is not done frequently enough. I estimated that the sensor only polls something like once every 2 min. It just feels like it's taking far too long for the fan to speed back up. Is there any other way to speed up the polling frequency for the temperature?

Dual Core Center hates me

My MSI P965 Platinum woes continue
Firstly, my DVD burner wouldn't work properly until I flashed the BIOS. How can you ship a motherboard where something a simple as the IDE channel doesn't work properly. Looking at the number of threads here where the JMicron chip was the issue I'm surprised it hasn't been banned yet.
Secondly, I finally got my HHD speeds back to normal after installing my system with my SATA ports set to RAID and the RAID drivers (even though I'm not using RAID). Today though I am experiencing random system freezing and even a reboot.
Now my latest headache is with the Dual Core Center that just won't work. And I do have the .NET 3 Framework installed. It installs fine, but when I try run it crashes and says DCC has encountered an error and needs to shutdown.

My question would be why are you using Dual Core Centre at all?
* it is well know that it is a poor utility
* Overclocking better off done in the bios.
* Use Coretemp or SIV 3.14 for monitoring temps, and CPU-Z.

Dual core center vs. nTune vs. something else

I have a P6N 650i SLI board and it seems to me from reading various posts that Dual Core Center and nTune do much of the same thing. True? So, it seems kind of pointless to install both. However, I'm not sure which is the better choice or even if either one is very good. Any thoughts? Should I use either one or do you have any suggestions for other programs I should use instead? Thanks.

Whats wrong with installing both and trying them out? Currently the the P6N does not fully support ntune so your options are pretty limited to changing ram timings, and fsb.(though I prefer Bios) The voltage, fan speed, all the good stuff is greyed out. The Dualcorecenter is unstable and hard locks my computer sometimes for no real reason. It has a couple of settings you could play around with.. but I don't know why anyone would as all of the settings could be modified under the bios. Next time you should just try both out because besides being able to o/c the gfx card, bios trumps both of those wares.

Dual Core Center working in Vista but not XP on a dual boot system?

Hi All.
My system specs are:
Dual Boot Windows XP Pro SP2 and Windows Vista Ultimate
Temps for CPU in Vista averaging at 43 - 45 degrees in XP averaging at 38 to 42 degrees. It never seems to go much higher than 53 on Load.
Thermaltake Soprano tower
MSI K9N Diamond Motherboard
Hiper 580watt Modular PSU
4GB OCZ Gold 6400
AMD X2 6000+
2 X 300gb diamond maxtor 10 HDD
MSI Geforce 7800gt
DVD Rom
LG Dual Layer DVDRW+/-
I am running a dual boot system with Windows XP Pro SP2 on one partition and Windows Vista Ultimate on the other. Both operating systems seem to be operating properly except for an odd situation with Dual Core Center. In Windows XP Dual Core Center only indicates the Mainboard properties - No VGA, whereas on Windows Vista Ultimate Dual Core Center indicates both VGA & Motherboard properties. I have installed MSI Nvidia drivers for the Graphics card & also tried straight Nvidia drivers for the card but it has made no difference VGA will not show up in XP. Yet on installing Dual Core Center on the Vista partition VGA showed up immediately. Can anyone help.
If anyone can come up with an answer to this it would be a real help.
Many Thanks in advance.

have you try to update/install the dual core driver from amd?

Dual Core Center doesn't work at all.

My mobo is P35Neo2-FR. Cpu is C2D E4600. I didn't overclocked it. WinXP professional 32BIT is installed.
.Net 2.0 is also installed.
From some time, I cannot launch Dual Core Center program. When I double-click the Dual Core Center icon,
There is nothing to be launched. I could not understand why the program suddenly didn't work.
Please let me know the solution to successfully launch Dure Core Center program.

yeah! my only experience with DCC is,... after it runs, it straight away turn on the siren, annoy the whole PC, and after 10 seconds, it shuts down my PC! That's the big annoyance already. The next time I reboot, I quickly terminate it from runnign longer, and straight away remove it from my PC. don't even bother to figure out where the alarm settings is.
