CPUZ 1.73 validation issue with skylake

[Achill3uS]

hey guys,

i experienced something weird with latest 1.73 cpuz when trying to save validation files even with Gigabyte or Asus mobos.

i was benching 6700k on ln2, and above ~5.5G when i press F7 or the validate button from cpuz tab (extreme oc feature on or off doesnt change about that) got immediately blackscreen and system restart.

i guess this new cpuz generates bigger cpuz load during validation process like older versions. anyway since you cannot validate with older cpuz versions anymore you have to modify cpuz.ini file.

here are my settings below what i used to take valids succesfully cpu and mobo tab activated only.

 

[CPU-Z]

VERSION=1.7.3.0

TextFontName=

TextFontSize=14

TextFontColor=000080

LabelFontName=

LabelFontSize=14

ACPI=1

PCI=0

MaxPCIBus=256

DMI=1

Sensor=0

SMBus=0

Display=0

UseDisplayAPI=0

BusClock=0

Chipset=0

SPD=0

XOC=1

CheckUpdates=0

 

after this, i was able to succesfully save and upload valids up to 6.4G+

 

 

anyway, i know its nothing new here but i've lost about an hour+ to figure this out while benching. hope it helps anyone who is chasing max clock.

cheers,

bala

You can also find the XOC setting in the CPU-Z Validate tab.

...makes me wonder, if all the other that XOC settings, are also important to disable...

You can also find the XOC setting in the CPU-Z Validate tab.

 

i started with that, XOC enable did not worked for me still need to figure out exactly what couse this, but did anyone experience similar issue/bug?

Thanks for sharing!

I experienced similar bug, but on the other "end"... Pentium 90 overclocked past 66MHz it report wrong FSB and CPU clock... and same P90 underclocked to 10.7MHz result in no CPU frequency shown, hence no validation. Bug since v1.70... because earlier versions have no problemo.

I am also not able to validate like before, it does seem that the program is putting more load on the system, I think if you enable the XOC it is less, but still I can't get the same validations I could before.
