Green Power CPU Phase Control + C-STATE + Turbo Boost ?

Does anyone know if we can turn on MSI's Green Power CPU Phase Control + Intel C-STATE + Intel Turbo Boost in BIOS all at the same time?  Any problems with doing this?  Does MSI's Green Power CPU Phase Control override or conflict with Intel's C-STATE?  And will Turbo Boost kick in if turned on when a core needs it even if Green Power CPU Phase Control and C-STATE are switched on?
I really like the idea of the PC running cool and quiet when doing lite work, but would like full power on demand as well.
Thanks.

I'm using Intel speedstep (EIST) but i disabled c-state because this brings a unstable PC for me.
I'm using also the greenpower genie and it works very well.
When i don't need the power my PC falls back to 50% 2154MHz (this you can choose in the energy configuration of windows), when i play games or decode movies it goes up to 100% 4130MHz. And it is stable as a rock tested 24/7 prime 95 and OCCT and Intel burn test.
My settings are=
Eist enabled
Turbo enabled
C-state disabled
Greenpower auto
My CPU temp in idle is 24° cores 38° and this on aire (room temp 21°-22°) Load 100%=CPU 60 and cores 70°-72° ( prime stressing), gaming CPU 42°-45°.
For more info on my sys. follow link and see my overclock and voltage settings.http://www.hardware.info/nl-NL/usersys/cm9xZ51mk2yd/view/
I also changed cpu skew and ioh skew to 200ps so i don't get BSOD that says :cpu did not receive clock on time , but this is only necessary when i go above 178 MHz BCKL.

  • What is CPU Phase control?

    In my P67A-C45 green power menu the first option entry is CPU Phase Control and there are two option: what is difference from APS and Intel SVID Mode?
    Thanks in advance!

    CPU Phase Control refers to the load-dependent automatic CPU PWM Phase switching logic (the number of phases used varies with CPU load).  APS is the board's control logic and Intel SVID is the CPU's own control logic for this kind of phase control.  Use whatever works best for you.

  • P67A-GD55: "Adjust CPU Ratio" disables "CPU Phase Control"

    I'm using P67A-GD55 (BIOS ver.1.7) and i5-2500K.
    I changed "Adjust CPU Ratio" and I found "CPU Phase Control" was disabled automatically.
    1. Click "Green Power" and set "CPU Phase Control" to "APS Mode".
    2. Click "OC" and set "Adjust CPU Ratio" to "33"
    (It's a default value, but please click the number "33").
    3. Click "Green Power" and check "CPU Phase Control".
    It is changed to "Disabled".
    Please keep "CPU Phase Control = APS Mode".

  • CPU Phase Control

    My cpu phase control led lights no longer works. None of them are on, even when I load the default settings. The question is it just the lights or the whole phase control? Did I turn these on/off accidentally? I just bought this board on Dec. 26th from NCIX but it is a revision 1 board. I think I read somewhere rev. 1 boards seemed to have the phase control problems but not sure if this is true or not. Please advise on a solution or solutions to try before I RMA this board. Also can you let me know the differences between rev. 1 and revision 1.1?

    Please unplug your PSU from A/C power and >>Clear CMOS<<.  Then load "Optimized Defaults" in BIOS Setup and check your APS Settings.
    Also, please tell us your current BIOS Version.  >>Posting Guide<<

    Also can you let me know the differences between rev. 1 and revision 1.1?
    Usually only minor changes, that are generally not documented anywhere.  So no, I have no idea what the exact differences are.  Sometimes it is just a different type/brand of capacitor that will make them changes the revision ID (which on the other hand does not mean that there was any problem with the original layout -> so, rest assured, the fact that you do not have a revision 1.1 board does definately not mean that the revision you have was found to be "faulty" in any way).

  • CPU phase control by default after wake up (Z97 Gaming 3)

    Hello,
    I've juste bought a MSI Z97 Gaming 3 to replace my MSI Z87-G45.
    I want to inform you that when CPU phase control is set to "optimized", this setting is restored to default mode after waking up.
    I made many tests to confirm this :
    - with optimized before sleep and wake up, my IDLE consumption is 37W
    - with optimized after sleep and wake up, my IDLE consumption is 42W
    - with default setting, my IDLE consumption is always 42W
    Changing Windows energy settings didn't fix this issue. Changing wake up settings in the BIOS didn't correct this issue.
    Could you fix it in your next BIOS ?
    Moreover, I didn't get what it exactly came from but my system crashed few times. It seems that it is a problem with fast RAM boot setting.
    Thanks

  • Green Power Center +fan controll

    Is there a way to have the settings adjust automaticly when Windows opens? Because if I need to decrease the fan speed to "Max Power Saving" I need to enter this software and do it manually every time I log into Win. Is there any other way to control the fan speed, or any other software for download?

    Quote from: Rulo on 09-December-09, 12:04:23
    I don't own that MOBO but I would suggest to look in the BIOS for SmartFan set up. That would get you the option to set up the fan a a minimun speed and the system will rev it up once it gets to the threshold temperature.
    Good luck!
    Didn't find anything for SmartFan in Bios, just Green Power, although doesn't seem to do anything in Auto mode.

  • MSI Z77A GD65 - CPU Phase LED Solid State when OC / Hard to boot up

    Problems:
    1. All settings are at stock and I having the difficulties to boot up. When I press the power button, all my fans light and CPU phase LED lights on and off.No more booting. Need to press several times on the power switch then it only will boot up.
    2. Whenever I tried to OC by changing the Vcore from auto to manual, all the CPU phase led will in solid mode. No more blinking. When I set the Vcore back to auto, it starts to blink.
    Approach taken:
    1. Have tried to disable EUP setting on bios. Results still the same.
    2. Have tried to disable all the power saving settings ,results still the same. CPU phase LED keep in solid mode.
    3. have tried to clear CMOS several times but still facing boot up difficulties.
    In addition, previously when I am using the same hardware with another brand,it boots up normally. No issue.
    To add, I am using Vantec Ion 750W plus modular PSU.
    tq

    If it wasn't such a mission to remove that monster cooler of yours, I would recommend you remove the CPU for a proper socket pin inspection. You may just have to do that as a bent pin or two can cause such anomalies.
    I would also test with another known working PSU.
    Beta BIOS versions are available here https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=158257.0  and I have been using the .A67 with no apparant problems. works great.

  • MBA2012 cpu multiplier wrong and no turbo boost in Windows7

    MBA2012 Corei 7 2.0GHz/ MEM 8GB / SSD 128G.
    core i7 3667U, it support turbo boost, max multiplier 3.2GHz (x32, 2core), or 3.0GHz(x30, 1core).
    but check cpu-z 1.60.1.x64, it reports cpu multiplier x8 or x19.
    core speed does not rearch 2.0GHz(x20) and can not turbo boost.

    It is assumed in the model CTO in the initialisation of the MSR in EFI, is to set the Target P-State and 19 at the time of turbo boost, and the root cause of the bug (I originally set 32 ​​is correct).
    As a temporary workaround, in the application of the Throttle Stop, but it was confirmed that Turobo Boost working effectively, then, I tried to examine the state of the MSR at the before and after application of the Throttle Stop.
    As a result, the following was found.
    • The CTO model EIST, Turbo Boost is enabled.
    • However, in the CTO model, Target P-State is closed when the Turbo Boost is set to 19-fold. Therefore, (Current P-State) can not be set to at least 19-fold magnification of the CPU.
    • When you execute the Throttel Stop, so that can be set to 32 times the Target P-State of Turbo Boost, will be able to raise up to 32 times also (Current P-State) magnification of the CPU.
    In fact, before and after execution of the Throttle Stop, appears similar to the following and see the state of the MSR. (The value of the MSR, Save Report(.TXT) of the "About" → "Tools" of CPU-Z in the, you can see)
    CPU Throttle Stop before) cpu multiplier 19 (max cpu multiplier 19)
    MSR 0x000001A0 0x00000000 0x00850089
    MSR 0x00000198 0x00001CD2 0x00001300
    MSR 0x00000199 0x00000000 0x00001300
    ⇒ enable EIST, enable TurboBoost, the current P-State 19, the target P-State 19
    CPU Throttle Stop after) cpu multiplier 30 (max cpu multiplier 32)
    MSR 0x000001A0 0x00000000 0x00850089
    MSR 0x00000198 0x000021A0 0x00001E00
    MSR 0x00000199 0x00000000 0x00002000
    ⇒ enable EIST, enable TurboBoost, the current P-State 30 , the target P-State 32
    From the above, CTO model, at the time of initialization when the switch to Windows, it would have been set to 0x1E (0x00001E00: DEC
    19) is target Performance State Value is IA32_PERF_CTL of MSR in the BootCamp is a cause of trouble, 0x20 (0x00001E00:DEC 32) you can determine it because it does not, and has been a state that does not increase the magnification was also an attempt to invoke the turbo boost when under load.
    Core i5 In the standard model, so go up 26 multiplier,  probably should be the value of the following.
    MSR 0x00000199 0x00000000 0x00001A00

  • MSI P67A-C45 - C-State, Turbo Boost, RAM and UEFI questions

    I received my MSI P67A-C45 B3 a few days ago. After having installed the OS and the rest, I tried to enable C-State (no limit) and surprisingly it works (with the B2 it caused a freeze). After some time I noticed a sort of high pitched noise and I knew it was the C-State because I had read it here. So I just disabled it, later I'll tray to see if the other C-States (C3, C6, etc.) work without any noise. I'll also try different combinations of the phase mode, currently I'm using Intel SVID because it has a slightly lower idle voltage.
    1) First thing, why do I hear a noise only when C-State is enabled? I'm curious.
    2) I've also read that disabling the C-State affects how Turbo Boost works, is it true? If yes, what is the difference? Honestly I don't see any relation, one is a power saving feature and the other gives temporary extra performance when needed.
    3) About the B3, I noticed that my RAM (G.Skill Ripjaws 1333MHz) haven't the correct timings, they are one value higher (more loose, for example 10 instead of 9).
    This didn't happen with the B2 and UEFI 1.8, all the timings were exactly those in the JEDEC #4 profile. I see that in version 1.9 and 1.A they've improved memory compatibility, perhaps it's related?
    Anyway since it doesn't matter to me I just left them on auto.
    4) I'm not planning to update my UEFI (B3 came with v1.9) for a few months since it works fine (except that small RAM problem) and I don't overclock.
    I noticed that the latest version is 1.A, so it's normal to use 1.A after 1.9? I've never seen it before.

    This might shed some light on question #1. Reply #17; https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=147219.0
    Thanks!
    Does someone know anything about question #2?
    @krkrkr
    I'm currently using APS mode with C-State enabled and the noise isn't there. The strange thing is that the Vcore is the same both with C-State enabled or disabled. Anyway I think I'll continue using APS mode with C-State enabled, thanks.
    Now I have a problem, I'm trying to update the UEFI but it doesn't work. I downloaded UEFI v1.A for the B3, then I used method I of the MSI HQ Tool but during the UEFI update it blocks at "Preparing to take a new BIOS backup". It just stays like that all the time...
    How can I resolve?
    Now I still have v1.9 and if I go in the CPU features I get "Error invalid input method" (or something similar, I can't remember properly). Before trying to update it didn't happen.

  • P67a-GD65 (B3) 1.19 BIOS weird turbo boost throttling down issue.

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded from 1.14 to 1.19 BIOS because of a keyboard detection issue.   For the last few years, I always used Turbo boost OC 4.0-4.3ghz.
    Since the new BIOS, when I run Prime95, I notice that at first, the OC works well (goes from 1.6ghz to 4.0ghz) but after a while, it will throttle down to 3.9, revert back to 4.0, then 3.9 and sometimes even 3.8ghz. 
    CPU Voltage never goes above 1.280v.
    While I was using the 1.14 BIOS, it never got below 4.0ghz, so I can't figure out what's new in 1.19 that would make the CPU throttle below the values I set for it.
    Note that the CPU temp never goes over 62c, so I don't think it's thermal related.
    Overspeed, 2013 and C1E disabled,  all other stuff at defaults.  My core ratios are x40, x41, x42, x43
    I also tried 41-44, 42-45, 43-46 ratios, and everytime, it goes up to the minimum ratio (say 43), then after a while, it will always throttle down to 40, 39 and sometimes x38 (rarely but happens everytime though)
    Any ideas?

    First, I want to thank you for your help... it is much appreciated!

    ll settings being done in the UEFI/BIOS, not the OS right?
    Yes, all within the BIOS.  'Change settings in OS is disabled.
    When I tried to disable the CPU Phase Control, the PC hung on Windows desktop.  Tried both SVID & the other one but no changes (same throttling)
    Correction: ONLY Intel SVID  mode works on my setup -- the other two will hang on Windows Desktop (ASP Mode, Disabled).
    I tried the values you provided with no changes either.   :/
    I did notice something weird though.
    1) I downloaded 'Intel Extreme Tuning Utility' to see if the CPU was throttling because of thermal issues.
    2) when I tested the CPU stress test (20 minutes), the CPU went and stayed at 4.10Ghz the entire 20 minutes! no throttling at all
    3) I then decided to test the memory stress test, Prime 95, LinX, OCCT and the CPU will throttle down to 3.7 sometimes, but mostly from 4.0 to 3.9ghz on those tests.  What does it mean?  no clue (yet)
    Starting to wonder if it's not the CPU Phase Control.  I might reflash 4.3 BIOS to see if it fixes this error (freezing in Windows desktop when disabled), but I'd rather keep this BIOS  for now .
    I'll keep looking for the answer (let's not forget, I'm able to get a fixed OC at 4.2 no problem when I disable EIST, C-Phases and set the CPU at x42 & vcore at 1.250v)
    Again, thanks much for your patience & help!
    P.S.  I've seen another thread about someone having this exact issue, but didn't take notice back then since I didn't know I had this problem.   And now I'm trying to find it, I can't :(  Can't even recall if it was on this site or another one.   
    Worst case scenario, I make myself a 24/7 OC (even at 4.2 ghz... when not doing anything special, the cores temp are about the same as when at 1.6ghz 0.9xxv)   I'll actually go do that @4.2 & keep it a few days to see how it goes power usage wise/temps/etc.   But if you have any other suggestions, feel free to let me know, takes but a few minutes to revert back to this OC (saved and/or not long to set).
    P.P.S. Gotta admit that at full OC  4.2Ghz (no EIST, C1E, etc), I can actually feel the PC being more responsive.  Applications start faster (albeit just slightly, but noticeable), everything just feels more snappy. Starting to wonder if I won't keep it that way.

  • MSI Control Center Green Power not Working

    Quote from: NovJoe on 11-July-11, 15:27:19
    The interface is to tell you at what speed and voltage that it is regulating from the stock numbers. That is the way of power saving readings.
    How come it doesn't report the "Total Power Savings" in watts?

  • Low power CPU (Intel Atom) to control RAID1 array (mdadm) [solved]

    Can anyone comment on the CPU overhead associated with using a low power CPU such as an Intel Atom to function as a NAS running software raid1 (mdadm)?  Will it limit I/O?
    Last edited by graysky (2013-10-02 07:32:08)

    Logic says raid0/raid1 should not be much of a problem since you are splitting/dupplicating data without doing any or almost any math, raid5 or others that need to calculate parity information can be a problem with atom cpus I believe.
    Maybe you should check review sites for NAS boxes reviews, most come with atom cpus inside and will probably give you a good idea of how your specific cpu model will perform.

  • P55-CD53 Phase Control

    I run all 4 cores of an i5 at 100% at 2.66GHz 24/7 without Turbo Boost and without any other overclocking.  I have DDR3 1333 memory running at 7-7-7-21 that is not overclocked either. 
    The MSI Phase Control can't make up it's mind if it needs 3 or 4 phases so the first 3 lights are on constant and the 4th light blinks very rapidly all the time. 
    Is this okay?  Do you think I would be better off disabling Phase Control so that all 4 phases are always on?
