July 8, 201212 yr Author CPU-Z 1.60.x is/was also bugged btw. Last version to work perfect is CPUZ 1.59 but you can't validate with it anymore. But feel free to use this one for screenshots. Know bugged Sockets at the moment for 1.60.x and 1.61.x: LGA775 AM2/2+/3/3+
July 9, 201212 yr So I guess these is no point in doing am3+ high freq runs until this is figured out?
July 9, 201212 yr Wow, put out 3 bugged versions and block those that still work. Mostly unrelated, but I always had a vague curiosity of why CPUID.com distributed the application, but validation was handled at canardpc.com. Never was curious enough to ask or look into it, but I always thought that was weird.
July 9, 201212 yr So I guess these is no point in doing am3+ high freq runs until this is figured out? Im putting off ordering LN2 for the time being until this is figured out. You can get a legitimate non bugged screenshot / validation file if you open cpu-z last after overclocking on the fly, only problem is it will still come under scrutiny because no results can really be trusted at the moment.
July 9, 201212 yr Author Okay Franck D. (CPU-Z) did testing the whole day on my system via remote controll from his place. Bugs are fixed (at least the know ones) and seems the precision is close to cpuz 1.59 but not as good (impossible to be as good or better). Why ? Blame microsoft (long story) So I asked him to release it asap and not name it cpuz 1.61. Will double check everything tomorrow but i tested his last version and seems working fine. If you encounter any clocks reading problems or any cpuz related problems with current version, please report here so we can work on.
July 9, 201212 yr How can it be M$ fault that 1.59 works and this new version is not as accurate? Solution is still simple. Allow both.
July 9, 201212 yr Author because microsoft use the same api as cpuz in windows 8 therefore they get in conflic that's why cpuz 1.59 and lower were completely bugged in windows 8. Franck D. had to move to another api that seems shit, not very precise and he need to calibrate it. for AMD he did the calibration on Llano that's why Llano is not affected by bug but Llano calibration doesn't work on AM3. This explain the such difference between cpuz 1.6x and cpuz 1.59 and before. Btw all other clocks reading software will have to move to another api as well because microsoft used it and doesn't want to share related stuff. So blame Microsoft Edited July 9, 201212 yr by Christian Ney
July 9, 201212 yr Wait a second, what API are we talking about here? It's safe to assume no WMI is used, so all he has to do is retrieve a specific range from system memory (c/asm) and make use of it.

July 11, 201212 yr Author We have recalibrated CPU-Z for Bulldozer, now we are recalibrating it for AMD K10
July 12, 201212 yr Author AMD K10 calibrated, now we are doing LGA775 calibration Please let me know if any of you had weird behavior on LGA775 with CPUZ
July 12, 201212 yr Author LGA775 calibrated, @ Sam, hum I have to check if I have a LGA775 Unlocked CPU.
July 12, 201212 yr Author I got the chinese K yeah, remember how to change cpu multi on the fly on LGA775 ? Edited July 12, 201212 yr by Christian Ney
July 12, 201212 yr oO Cus it's possible ? euh!? Dunno sorry Long time I haven't booted my lovely E6500K ^^
July 12, 201212 yr Crew oO Cus it's possible ? euh!? Dunno sorry Long time I haven't booted my lovely E6500K ^^ no problem, send it to me, i'll take care of it then.
July 12, 201212 yr Listen to me: NEVEEEEEEEEEEEER!!! Lol I really like that chip but just for fun not for his crappy efficiency of course
July 12, 201212 yr I got the chinese K yeah, remember how to change cpu multi on the fly on LGA775 ? crystal CPUID could do it on the first QX chips, no idea about the E6500K
July 12, 201212 yr Author Managed to reproduce Knut's bug with unlocked CPU, working on the issue right now
July 12, 201212 yr Author Bug on LGA775 fixed now, new build in progress, should be online as soon as possible and valid.canardpc.com will drop 1.60.x and 1.61.x support. New build : 1.61.2 (bug free, at least the know ones)
