New tool for undervolt/overclock AMD K8L and K10 processors

[kfgz]

Hi kfgz, actually I had the chance to test a Phenom II 1055T and I had no problems with neither Windows or Linux.
It just popped in my mind that there is a known problem with temperature reporting when a k10 processor get some cores/cache unlocked. Is yours unlocked?

No, but I'll check some options in BIOS and let you know.

[kfgz]

You were right. I had ACC tured on. When I switch ACC off, tpc shows correct temperature.

@blackshard:

Can you PM me your address? Package is ready!

Hi blackshard,

I need your address for the final shipping cost. If it's under $20 (which I think it will be), it'll be on me.

I have a problem with the program. I do all the instructions of the manual, and compile the program.
But when I execute de program, this is what I see in the terminal:

djnardo@djnardo-HTPC:~/Turionpower/bin$ sudo ./compile_i386.sh
sudo: ./compile_i386.sh: command not found
djnardo@djnardo-HTPC:~/Turionpower/bin$ cd ../src

Sorry for my english, and thanks

use ./ in front. "." is not in the path.

I sent you a PM with the final address.
If you wish I may pay one half of the shipping cost. I don't want to let you charge of the whole cost.

Thank you very much. I'm very novice, and I need to start the program on startup, but I don't understand the manual.
I have to do a script that launchs the program, but before I need to execute modprobe, and I don't think how to do this.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

In the manual I suggest to use the rc.local file located in /etc directory.

It is a script automatically executed at the very end of the linux boot process.

Just put three lines inside the rc.local script:

modprobe cpuid
modprobe msr
/yourTPCFolder/bin/TurionPowerControl -blablabla

and then you're done. At next reboot those three lines will be executed automatically.
Obviously change "yourTPCFolder" with the correct path where you compiled the program.
To know the path where the program lies, put yourself in the bin directory of the program, write pwd and press enter.

Usually you write modules to be loaded on start into /etc/modules.

Good to know
