ok marcoland so I should leave CPU-Z vcore=0 right? Right. Anyhow, is your setup using: 1) PowerNow (pre-windows speed = 4x200) 2) CnQ (pre-windows speed = 9x200) - because I can get get both to work, its a bug in the DFI I think. If i manually (By BIOS) set multiplier to 4x, and reboot and go back...

Here are the two screens about ITE SartGuardian. As you can see the PowerNow! is well recognized.

marcoland im afraid it isnt changing the voltage after all. It is true that if you change CPU-Z.ini to have VCore=4, it will show a vcore in CPU-Z that decreases and increases proportional to multipliers. But if you look at the tool "ITE Smartguardian" which came with the DFI motherboard, and can a...

Hey marcoland: I have a DFI NF3 250 mobo and an 1.35v Oakville CPU (kinda like an older verison of mobile Sempron (rev D) but with 512k cache. I read the exchange between you and Mats. I still don't understand the bios setting you have to make PowerNow! works -- to undervolt and change multiplier a...

Here are others my scores. I had raised the clock setting the VCore Special up to 126%, the temperatures are not critics at all, and it increases very much the stability. This Turion was able to boot up at 305MHZ, but Prime95 is istantly overstressed (it says generically "for hardware problems"). I ...

I have a SK6 heatsink on this Turion MT-32 and on yesterday I had decided to make a lapping. I had some problems with the temperatures and I have proceded again to the lapping with more quiteness... Well, the result is a great surprising... Before of lapping (idle, min voltage) http://img360.imagesh...

marcoland: Welcome to SPCR !! If you want to change Vcore with any software you can't change the VID in BIOS, something that's extra tempting to do though for T64 users who wants to start it up at full speed. I don't have the same mobo as you but I think they work in the same way with this. MikeC &...

Hi! I own a DFI 250GB with a Turion MT-32 and I want to say that PowerNow! absolutely works, but just related to moltiplicators. Just install the AMD drivers from the site (the last available are 1.2.2) and then the PowerNow! drivers (the last are 3.0.5). I've owned also a K8N-E Deluxe, it was good,...
