Christian Ney Posted July 8, 2012 Author Share Posted July 8, 2012 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+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just_nuke_em Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 So I guess these is no point in doing am3+ high freq runs until this is figured out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.M.O.G. Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScunnyUK Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 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.

Christian Ney Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 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.

knopflerbruce Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 How can it be M$ fault that 1.59 works and this new version is not as accurate? Solution is still simple. Allow both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted July 9, 2012 Author Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) 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, 2012 by Christian Ney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Turrican Posted July 9, 2012 Crew Share Posted July 9, 2012 interesting. thx for the info chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GENiEBEN Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) 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. For those interested: http://wiki.osdev.org/Memory_Map_(x86) Me no have technical details Nvm https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B7LwI1tJ08joWkd4Ti1seUsySEE Edited July 9, 2012 by GENiEBEN link fixed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Ney Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 We have recalibrated CPU-Z for Bulldozer, now we are recalibrating it for AMD K10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Ney Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 AMD K10 calibrated, now we are doing LGA775 calibration Please let me know if any of you had weird behavior on LGA775 with CPUZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaPaKaH Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 all LGA775 "weird behavior" I've seen so far came from unlocked CPUs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Ney Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 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) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
