Feature Requests

[W1zzard]

Post a wishlist here of features you want to be added to SysTool.

[ReconCX]

make it look cool =)

systray feature is a must, especially for temperature monitor. Also, a good log file would be nice.

also, make the "temperature 1, 2, 3" tags editable, like I can change "temp 1" to "CPU" or something like that.

[wazzledoozle]

Fan control from system tray?

[W1zzard]

if "make it look cool" means skins - sorry not gonna happen

[DanTheBanjoman]

Add as tab to taskmanager if thats possible.

[OliverMaltby]

Support to report the stepping, clockspeed and type of CPU currently in your system.
Support to report the memory timings, dual/single channel mode, and clockspeed of your memory.
As wazzledoozle mentioned allow it to control your fans, and enable 64bit users to change their cool and quiet profiles.
Hard disk deframention (if it is and how much so), and if possible a disk defragmentor program?

[gR3iF]

maybe not only report also change system fsb and multiplier (mobile cpu) usw u know??

[W1zzard]

changing multi for p4 and p4m via enhanced intel speedstep is already working .. changing fsb is working for abit ic7

[gR3iF]

nforce 2 amd and nforce 3 and nforce4 amd id like to have
amd forever XD

[magius_00]

Hmmm, how about a plug-in to "desktop sidebar" or similar? Or at least a way to create plug-ins for it.

For example, right now I use AtiTool to get the GPU temp and send it to MBM. I then use Desktop Sidebar to get the sensor readings from MBM and display then in the DS Performance bar. Best way to keep tabs on my temps during heavy gameplay.

I think MBM is not supported anymore, so your new tool will be greatly appreciated! :)

[DanTheBanjoman]

How about output plugin's? Have various modules output their data to a nice display.
We're talking about displays like http://www.crystalfontz.com

[opium]

Support auto lowering of multi and voltage (like C&Q)
Wide mobo support
Improved support for AAM
HDD temp support
Fan control
Alarm on high temp
Auto-start up
Minimize on tray with tooltip with various infos :)

[jfb9301]

How about output plugin's? Have various modules output their data to a nice display.
We're talking about displays like http://www.crystalfontz.com

rather than wrinting a driver to drive the LCD, why not write a plugin for a well established LCD driver like LCDsmartie.

[DanTheBanjoman]

Was just talking about support for, if it's a real driver or if it should use some existing driver is w1zzards choice, he's the expert :)

[//mAr]

Benchmark like SuperPi (~1min for 3,3ghz athlon fx) with top50 online (like "orb" ^^) NOT fakeable
real stability test like prime large fft (max heat, max power consum)
clockgens + changing voltages on some chipsets (nf3, nf4) + changing multi on some chipsets (nf3 + nf4)
nvidia overclocking


=)

[shoman24v]

I'll post pics of my PLL number off of my dell 8300 this weekend.

[stryg]

When will beta testing begin?

[//mAr]

will be nice to integrate a super pi and a frequency controller like cpu-z
Hope he also integrates the 865P/875P (nf2) tweaker in there right beside A64Tweaker
from xs.org ;)

[wazzledoozle]

About clockgens, do they really work that well? I had a Nforce 2 tweaker that when I changed any settings, would case a blue screen adn then the computer would restart. Tried a few with same result...

[demonR6]

Hexus_PiFast is a nice one I use.. any chance of rolling that one in?

[AKURA]

Wizzard, Great software by the way :) . Is there by any chance to add a voltage chart also. The kind of chart to which speedfan uses but with 1-10sec interval readings. Now that would be nice :D Also the 865P/875P Tweaker is also a nice tool. It works on most boards even on dell. :D. Also an automatic sensing for sensors just like speedfan. Some of us just beat ourselves with a stick trying to configure mbm5 :D

Is there any chance we can get an alpha version by next week :D Ah! j/k bro take your time and best of luck for making this app very flexible for everyone's taste.


Thx,
Akura

[//mAr]

if you know how to use. YES ;)

fav tools for dfi nf4 clockgen + a64tweaker ;)

[P_1]

Put an option to set automatic divider. For ex an option to put max mem speed, and it will auto use a divider to keep it at or under that mem speed at all times. Also put in an option to be able to use and save presets for the amd64 mem timings, so people can easily use good timings for their specific type of ram, so that in the future there will be like "bh utt presets","ch utt presets" and "tccd presets." Also try to get in touch with the makers of occt and incorporate their algorithms into your cpu tester. I find that their test is very fast and accurate, eliminating my need to use prime 95 for 24 hours.

[NemoNada]

I'll post pics of my PLL number off of my dell 8300 this weekendAs I understand it all Dell MB PLL's either do not have a SMB (System Management Bus) connection or the FSB can not be set via SMB. You can monitor them w/o problems though (I have an 8300 w/the same MB).

Post a wishlist here of features you want to be added to SysTool This looks like a great project for you and a natural extension of ATITool. I'd be honored to either alpha or beta test it for you!

BTW, have you checked out Wolfram Podien's "CPUCool (http://www.cpufsb.de/CPUCOOL.HTM)"? What you're working on sounds a lot like what he's doing and you might be able to share some information w/him, he's seems to be a decent person.

[15th Warlock]

I have an Intel mobo with an ICS "locked" PLL, and I was able to OC it by using CPUFSB and changing the model number in it (from 952601 to 952607). Some ppl have reported having the same PLL in DELL PCs and OCing them by using the same trick.
Wizzard, can you add a feature that lets you know the AGP/PCI divider and the bus clock for both of them in real time? Would be really valuable 'cause, in my case I can OC my proc by more than 400 Mhz, but I have no idea of what clocks my AGP/PCI buses run at, hope you can add this option ;)
Good luck :)

[False.Genesis]

Add a checkbox to easily disable the left windows key. In case you don't know, here's the RegKey:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,00,00,5b, e0,00,00,00,00
(This may not work under win98)

[shoman24v]

Here is my PLL number for my Dell 8300 with the 875P chipset

ICS
CD480005
0408
952601EF Edit: actual PLL number that allows OCing is 952603 and it works, I used that number and OC'd to 3.5ghz today for the first time!

Thanks.

See, I told you the trick works! :)

[zAAm]

Also, why don't you add something of an "overclocking info" window that basically sums up all frequencies (CPU, Graphics, Memory) and latencies, features etc. to have everything close at hand.

[//mAr]

something like cpu-z or everest (but more simple than everest)

[Larethus]

I would love to somehow be able to overclock my new Dell XPS gen2...
I actually have a XPS2 motherboard in front of me (had to replace mine already), is there any information I could get off this board that would help you at all?

Please let me know :)

Dell PCs aren't made to overclock :)

[DanTheBanjoman]

Something like the CPU name string and the current speed, and ofcourse a nifty calculation on the difference in percentages. Such info on memory and GPU as well.
That way when your computer seems unstable you know whats OCed and how far right away. Always good when troubleshooting.

[Larethus]

Dell PCs aren't made to overclock :)

It would be nice to change that though wouldn't it? ;)
This is a laptop btw... the Pentium-m runs very cool.. especially after I added Arctic Silver 5 to it.

[shoman24v]

[shoman24v]

Dell 8300 :p

Not a bad 3DMark05 score eh?

[R350np]

Wizzard, is it possible to get the AAM-option as an standalone tool? My PC (i875-Chip) doesn´t support any of the feauters like monitoring or overclocking. And modifing memory timings for going faster lock´s my system directly and needs a hard reboot. :-(
I´m only need this AAM-Funktion!
P.S.: This tool looks realy great. I think it will become a nice tool, when it becomes ready.

I overclocked my Dell 8300, look at the Post above yours ;)

[shoman24v]

I got this PLL from someone, it's for an inspiron XPS gen 2 with the 915 chipset, maybe you can do something with it.....

Pericom P16C 410MAE

[stryg]

Need support for the K8N Neo2 (MS-7025), both hardware monitoring, clockgen and voltage control.

Great prog there. I like the easy-update thing :)

[R350np]

I overclocked my Dell 8300, look at the Post above yours ;)

Yes, I´ve seen and have tried this and it seem to work. But my Dell freezes at 3013 Mhz (Default is 2993 Mhz). Maybee my RAM is locking (and I have to make a hard reboot with disconnecting powercord). I´ll try to downclock the cycle-times from ram and see, if overclocking works better.

Thankyou shoman24v for your reply.

Sascha

[W1zzard]

ideas: monitor tester, cpu heat output calculator

[Morlak]

Have it auto-filter out chipsets/CPUs etc that are not installed.

[gR3iF]

maybe cpu burn test??

[DanTheBanjoman]

Burn test already has it's place in systool, not sure if it works completely yet though. Though if you let systool loop the pi calculation with max threads and time critical it should work just fine. It made my computer close to non responsive at least.

[gR3iF]

hey cool!
didnt saw this

[DanTheBanjoman]

On the NV overclocking screen, make a checkbox to move all 3 sliders at once.

hey cool!
didnt saw this

I forgive you.;)

[gR3iF]

thx what a surprise :)

[Gzero]

-Integrate the artifact scanner from atitool.
-Move ati overclocking and NV overclocking to 'graphic card overclocking' showing only the detected video card type screen.
-blank out unsupported options such as AMD cool&quiet on P4 and other systems (ps i clicked on read in this tab just to see what would happen and my pc rebooted, so I count myself lucky it didn't do any harm)

Other wise keep up the good work :cool:

[DanTheBanjoman]

integrating the scanner would make atitool obsolete, systool+atitool would be one tool again even befoe systool goes beta.

[Gzero]

Then solution could be to keep them separate ( for now) and clone aittool to NVtool, therefore compensating for the fact there are not that many good tools out there for oc'ing nv cards, I found ati tool was was the godlike oc'ing tool for ati cards so I was hoping w1zzard and crew could carry over that success to Nv cards...
I am not saying that he should make a tool for every type of card just for the popular ones.
The only problems I see is SLI might screw up somethings but thats just my hypothesis.

[webwilli]

if possible:

SMART status for HDD

[wazzledoozle]

Abit NF7-S v2.0 clockgen :confused:
SMART status would be cool too ^^^^^

[RY62]

Any way to send the NVSensors info to MBM5? Systool is one of only two programs I've found that gets the info right for my card and I'd like to display the GPU and ambient temps on my Matrix Orbital LCD.

[Morlak]

That ability would be sweet for my LIS2 LCD as well, support the dll plugin like many others do already. I dont have the LIS yet, comes in tomorrow, but cant wait to see what info I can display. GPU Core/Card Temp is at the top of my wish list.

[dedde]

im searching for a overclocking program for VIA PT880 Chipset motherboards, such as ASRock P4V88.. anybody who knows one?

[RY62]

In the hardware monitoring section, a compensation value for inaccurate temp sensors would be cool.

Thanks for the work your doing. SysTool is really coming along.

[cyclups]

Overclocking support for Asus A8V would be nice.

Cyclups

[ShadeZeRO]

good detail on memory....CAS-....all the way to tCMD
CPU..Multiplyer, voltage, etc...the basics...mabey a burn in or stress test type program?
Video card...drivers...temp...mabey a "safe" and "dangerous" temp info on the card.
Bandwith Monitor would be cool....show you your actual speed in both Bits and Bytes...
Processes running (and the ability to kill them)...mabye a graph that shows up how many resources its using...
A couple of general windows tweaks...
Mabey a page with all the IRQ's and stuff (or atleast the ones that are conflicting)...
!!!!...The ability to change the "OEM FILL HERE" on the DMI and all that junk..that would be nice..

Thats all i can think of off the top of my head...

[djbbenn]

What about having more detailed info on the cpu. Like its stepping, revision, code name, cache, instructions, and its fabrication build. And with HT enabled cpu's have the utilization of both physical and logical parts of it. Just an idea. ;)

-Dan

[W1zzard]

djbben: i dont see a point in cloning what cpu-z already does almost perfectly

i'll see that i get the cpu utilization plugin fixed in the next days

[djbbenn]

I just thought it might be a good thing to have in the program...where it does so much all ready. Thanks for putting in the cpu utilization plugin though.

-Dan

[swaaye]

I see the prog has support for i915, but it won't work on my i915PM based Sonoma-based notebook. Would be really fun to be able to tweak these settings.

[wazzledoozle]

I was thinking a little feature that would record the minimum and max temperature for all temperatures sensors over a period of time, and save it as a .txt file or something? Like hit "Find temps" and then hit "stop" and it would save it to the systemtool folder.

[//mAr]

reading fan-o-matic sensors and dfs (waterflow)
auto uploading (for ex. every 5s) temps etc to ftp (html)
shut down temps ... (if temp Y is XX shut down windows)

[Simri]

Tnx for god program W1zzard

Im wonder if this possible to add support to show sub zero temp

[CRIMMER]

This registry key will unlock the nvidia overclocking in your dell xps gen 2 laptop

[DanTheBanjoman]

Feature request:
The ability to store benchmark results and compare them later. Like I benchmark my harddisks, get new ones and benchmark again, then I compare to stored results. Could even send my file with results to another person so we could compare our results.

[NikJEHummer]

Great tool I think! I'm using ATITool on my Intel Centrino notebook w/ RM9600 and it works perfect. But I'm going to change my Centrino machine (i855gm) to Centrino 2 one (i915gm) w/ nVIDIA PCI-E GFGO6200 card so I would like to see the full support for the notebook systems (i855gm, i915gm, i945gm, Centrino, Centrino+, Centrino 2 Sonoma and future). It would be also great to have test for nVIDIA card in SysTool like in ATITool so that when you overclock your card you can test it for artifacts using some Direct3D accelerated rotating 3D model, like in ATITool so that not to turn on the games and see the result right in the application (or maybe it's an idea to make nVIDIATool :) I want one VERY MUCH really :rolleyes: ).
And maybe add some profiles in tray icon to change the speed of Pentium M cpu (like some SpeedSwitch XP, or Centrino Hardware Control), I mean, press right button and choose Max Battery, Battery Optimized, Max Performance, Dynamic Switch profiles to control the CPU and last the battery for longer (just so one great app - SysTool could control all the PC platforms including Notebooks and all of its hardware - would be JUST GREAT.)

[sideeffect]

Would be good to have a dashboard like mbm so that u can view the most important voltages and temperatures easier. And fan control.

I like djbbenn idea about cpuz type page as well and i understand cpuz already does this well already but then a64 tweaker and clockgen do good enough jobs already but its much nicer to have them all together in your software.

Also would be good to be able to hide things that dont relate to your hardware to keep it neater.

[MikeR]

Any update on when we might get the Clock generator for the A8V Deluxe added ICS950405?

[ArKay]

Have it auto-filter out chipsets/CPUs etc that are not installed.

Yes, would be nice if those pages would be removed from the treeview (since there are no changes the user can make anyway).

[blind_ripper]

i cant read the fbs on my abit AI7 whate now can soem wanne help me plz

[CD 1986]

What i'd like to see, is a better / more thorough cpu overclock stress test. For instance, when using the "find max" option, my system will always freeze before finding an error, making the feature useless for me. It doesn't matter how many Pi digits i select.

Maybe putting in a stress test like Prime95 would be better for this, since it would more likely error out before going too high and freezing the system.

[blind_ripper]

withe the new 492 systemtool i stil cant read my fbs on Abit AI7 :confused:
help plz

[kRaZeD]

I was bored, so I was testing the RAM timings on my computer and I first went Read for the mem timings, and then I click Write, without changing any settings, I then clicked Read again, and the timings had changed, from 2-3-3-6 to 2-4-4-6.

Full specs of machine:
Gigabyte GA-8KNXP Rev2 (i875 chipset with latest BIOS)
Prescott 3.0 @ Stock
512mb (single stick) Hynix D43 (PC3200)
nVidiot FX5900XT
WinXP Pro SP2

Stock timings for the RAM is 3-4-4-8 @ PC3200 (i know, VERY bad) but it is completely stable @ 2-3-3-6 with ~2.7v

I have also tried changing the timings, from the my stock (2-3-3-6) to 3-4-4-8, and it went to 2-4-4-6. Out of frustration, I repeatedly click on Write, and that isnt exactly the best thing to do... Blue screen, and for some reason even though I have it set to NOT restart on BSOD's it did. So I think it would probably be a good idea to give a 1 - 2 second cool down on the Write button.

[wazzledoozle]

i cant read the fbs on my abit AI7 whate now can soem wanne help me plz
The Nforce 2 clockgen is broken.

[fAlCoNNiAn]

when the find max fsb, if its a pentium 4 or a dual core processor, there should be 2 threads for testing, not one.

[v_lestat]

hhmm the mobo support request thread was closed so any support for the MSI NEO2 Platinum ?
or if its there can someone direct me how to make it work.

[sideeffect]

Neo 2 support has just been added and it mostly works ok. The cpu vcore is wrong though. Before neo 2 was added i used the W83627THF Generic monitor and it gave the correct voltage readings confimed by checking it against msi corecenter.

so use W83627THF Generic for neo 2 until the vcore reading is fixed imo :D

[W1zzard]

weird .. i just wanted to fix that and it's both the same code

[_xhp_]

Some nice things:

1a) export hardware data to some form of shared memory (like mbm or rivatuner) so everybody can read it. This way you would not have to do things like osds and dashboards - users could write standalone apps and you could concentrate on the more important stuff... :)

1b) implement an option to export hardware data (at least temps/volst/fans) in the SAME format as mbm5 does it - this way you get mbm dashboard and osd for free - these tools that come with mbm are just dummy shared memory readers. There have been a lot of posts requesting plugins for LCDs - do it this way and all of the problems are solved - 90% of LCD can display mbm data :)
We could use samurize with it to get a cool looking GUI ...

When I get some sort of OSD I'll uninstall mbm5 and start using systool - until then - keep up the great work ...

EDIT:

and please, add a way to disable that mass of icons in the tray. You could add a simple bubble popup as the default doubleclick action...

and if you want to implement that osd yourself (dont like the shared memory idea) check this out:
http://www.codeproject.com/w2k/forecast.asp

[sideeffect]

Yes same for me as soon as systool can show the temps and voltage rails more easily i wont need to use speedfan anymore.

Atm when systool shows all the temps in one big line in the taskbar is just annoying cause i have like 7 temps :D

[W1zzard]

can you people suggest how you want the visual output of the sensors? the more detailed the more easy for me .. i tend to get caught in building way too complex stuff .. please give me some ideas .. drawings will help

[_xhp_]

So you're not for the shared memory idea... No problem.. I have a new idea...

1) Do NOT implement complex visual output yourself - simple bubble tooltip popup with all the hardware monitoring info is all we need. This way the size of the executable can be kept small...

This does not mean that one can not have beautifull GUI display, which brings me to:

2) Write a simple Samurize plugin that could enable showing the hardware monitoring data from systool
Check out http://www.samurize.com/modules/news/
Some of nice looking skins:
http://www.samurize.com/modules/myalbum/

And you get all of that for less then 3MB of memory (when the display is inactive) + 2BM systool = 5MB -> not to much (and the user does not have to use the plugin is he does not want fancy GUI)...

The samurize is not a copeting product to systool (it can show hardware monitoring data only if it detects speedfan or mbm5 in the background, however it can show a lot of simple things from windows by it self)...

There is a C++ plugin sample that comes with samurize - check it out...

If you run into some problems you can contact me...

EDIT:
http://www.samurize.com/modules/myalbum/photo.php?lid=2986 :D
http://tendukom1slip.free.fr/mbm/samurize.png :D

[W1zzard]

shared memory has been added for sensors. feedback please

[_xhp_]

Sorry man... Just seen it...

I guess that means I could write the samurize plugin myself (if it is ok with you) ;)
You concentrate on the important stuff...

[W1zzard]

sure if you need any assistance or have suggestions for better memory layout or whatever feel free to drop me a line .. instant messenger contact preferred ;)

Feature requests (for hardware monitoring use):

1) add an option to disable the monitoring tray icons

2) add an option to start systool minimized (so it can start normaly with windows and go imediatly to tray)

[W1zzard]

i'm building the "add tray icon" interface right now ..

what would you like to customize?

font, font color, background?

given the space, does it make sense to add sensors other than temperature?

[djbbenn]

Ya, be able to change font size and colours, and maybe even backgrounds. For the tray, be able to hold your mouse pointer over a icon and a popup will come up with a readout of temps and voltages, instead of having them taking space up in the tray.

-Dan

[W1zzard]

uh? hold the mouse pointer over an icon in the tray so that you get the readout from the icon? and this does not take up space in the tray? :confused:

[djbbenn]

You have one icon in it, instead of having all of the temps there. You know how theres all the temp readouts if you have it selected? Well just have one icon and when you put the pointer over it, a menu or popup, will come up and show all the readouts.

-Dan

[W1zzard]

ok so the systool main icon stays and when you mouseover it the tooltip shows all temperatures?

[djbbenn]

Ya thats it...and it will be able to have voltages aswell. Also, have it so when it shows the temps, it tells you what they are for too.

-Dan

[W1zzard]

hmm problem .. looks like you cant replace the trayicon tooltips, nor be notified when windows shows the tooltip .. so i guess the show sensors data on mouseover is not possible ..
any other ideas?

[djbbenn]

Damn, that sucks...what about a menu, like you right click on it or single click for menu and double to open systool.

-Dan

[_xhp_]

Check out "System Tray Balloon Tips and Freeing Resources Quickly in .NET" by Paul DiLascia - it is in MSDN library that comes with VS .NET 2003 (or find it on the microsoft web)...

From the article:
"There are two kinds of tips associated with tray icons: an ordinary old-style tooltip that appears when the user moves the mouse over your tray icon and the newfangled balloon tip that appears when directed by your program."

The ballon popup is just what we need. The article shows the easy way to implement it. It is prettier then the regular popup but requires an action to activate - simple click/doubleclick on the tray icon should do the trick...

[_xhp_]

Feature requests (for hardware monitoring use):

1) add an option to disable the monitoring tray icons

2) add an option to start systool minimized (so it can start normaly with windows and go imediatly to tray)

Just realised systool has the second option. But every time it starts it brings up that "Dial up connection" dialog for my internet connection :mad:

hmm problem .. looks like you cant replace the trayicon tooltips, nor be notified when windows shows the tooltip .. so i guess the show sensors data on mouseover is not possible ..
any other ideas?

I use a nice little program called I9kfanGui based on I8KFanGUI (http://www.diefer.de/i8kfan/index.html). It has readings in mouseover. I don't know if the source is available but I think it's GNU based.

[W1zzard]

it can display a custom tooltip on mouseover over the systray icon?

[Autochthon]

I believe so. A square mouseover bubble appears that has CPU temp. GPU temp. HD temp. Dimm temp. etc. It also displays up to 2 temps as a single stacked Icon. I'd show a screenshot but don't know how in this instance.

Decided not to be lazy and look into that... Dont see the problem ;)
Shell_NotifyIcon and the NOTIFYICONDATA enable you to set the tooltip - NOTIFYICONDATA has a member szTip -> Pointer to a null-terminated string with the text for a standard ToolTip... Or maybe I am wrong...

[sideeffect]

Any chance you can add a button to enable disable all those temp readings from showing in the toolbar. Am using the output to samurize method now to have a nice display and its annoying with a bloated taskbar.

;)

[sideeffect]

Have a different refresh rate for the cpu load plugin so that it can be set to 1ms while keeping the other sensors refreshing at a more conservative 5ms. I tried 1ms for all sensors and it does work ok but im not sure about the long term concequences of this. :cool:

[swaaye]

I got this PLL from someone, it's for an inspiron XPS gen 2 with the 915 chipset, maybe you can do something with it.....

Pericom P16C 410MAE

I've also got one of these machines. A Inspiron 9300 (same as XPS2). Support would be amazing.

[djbbenn]

What about a Auto read for when you go into the mem timings and cpu oc? So it displays it without needing to press read. I don't know, maybe I am just lazy. :p

-Dan

[W1zzard]

cant do it for cpu oc because it might crash/destabilize or user has just no chip selected

i can do it for mem timings .. *adds it to the todo list in the wiki*

[djbbenn]

Hmm never thought about that...but couldn't you program it so it ony does it when a clock gen is selected?

-Dan

[W1zzard]

hmm but if its the wrong one and it crashes the system, the user will never be able to select another one

[djbbenn]

Ya true. :(

[acrowley23]

Please, can you add support for the ClockGen Cypress CY28330 on a fsc d1607 Board ?

poorly a AGP/PCI Fix does not exist for this Board..

There is a working clockgen vserion for this board...but i like your SysTool much more :)

Greetz

[sideeffect]

Please can you do something about all temps showing in a big long line in taskbar. Its the only reason why i dont leave systool running during normal use. And why i use speedfan instead even though it shows the wrong 12v and 3.3v voltage readings.

If other people here dont like it to please say so that it might get changed.

[Valdez]

Hi!

This a great application :)

Older chipset support would be great (like i845, nf2 )...

[ganz]

support for SY-6ba+III motherboard (Soyo)

[W1zzard]

ganz read the "how to get monitoring" thread in the forums here, do what it says and you should get your monitoring support pretty fast

[djbbenn]

How about a feature that tell you your highest and lower votage value. Cause when I was looking at my voltages on my PSU, it was hard to tell what value I was getting from the graph. Like its easy to see what your current/normal voltage is cause it tells you and its a easy to see line on the graph, but when it drops you can't tell waht it droped too. Maybe have a little thing in the corner of the graph that just says highest and lowest values =.

-Dan

[Solaris17]

Older chipset support would be great (like i845, nf2 )...-Valdez

like he said older chipsets would be awsome i whanted to use this so BAD but im running an MSI-MS-6378.....neddless to say its not supported :( .......

[Jewfromdahood]

an integrated ATI tool would be nice. and you know how the ATI tool finds max memory and cores by increasing the frequency slowly and running the 3D image at the same time? well why not do that increasing frequency slowly with the FSB and maybe even a Core CPU clock overclocker! Maybe even also do it for the RAM, PCI Bus Frequency, PCI-E Bus frequency, PCI-E X16 frequency maybe even AGP frequency. and you know how the ATI tool has the graph with the Core GPU temperatures? why not do that not just for the GPU but the CPU as well (if it has a sensor of course), a fan control tool as well for the GPU fan like in ATItool but also for the CPU fan. also maybe a little thing with tips on how to be able to achieve higher stable frequency's, by adding, changing fans, heatsinks etc. and an automatic detection for which clock gen you should use. an automatic detection of your CPU and it's specs like intel does with some of their processors with their identifying tool. And you know all the features in the Intel Desktop Control Center (see an interactive flash thing for it here at http://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/software/dcc/) those would be good in it except remove the lid they put on the FSB adjustment (+/- 30% (800mhz+30%=1040mhz)) play around with the tool because it's pretty neat.

[Jewfromdahood]

i think if we could have some support for my HP xw4300 workstation thats coming in soon (see my signature) because HP makes their own boards but still very high quality like Intel boards

[Jewfromdahood]

my current intel 848 computer (until i get my new computer) isn't supported i think i found it's clock gen is H14.318H3 it's an HP d530C so as i said before HP makes their own motherboards

[Jewfromdahood]

If i find my xw4300's clockgen where should i post it?

[W1zzard]

ideal would be into the wiki .. you can also email it to me or post it here in a thread .. i should see it

[Jewfromdahood]

thanks, normally people would tell me why even bother trying to OC that mobo, they tell meto get an ASUS or others, I like Intel because an Intel board can last me a long time compared to previous experiences with ASUS (not overclocking them) such as the mobo burnt out after 3 months.

[Homeless]

I do not know if this is possible, but allow voltage changing specifically RAM.

Also add support for PLL 952606

[Jewfromdahood]

Yea i need support (temporarily until i get my new computer about 1-2 months from now) for my clock gen on my i848 H14.318H3. and also what is possible to overclock on RAM? because i'm wonderin if i can OC my new comps DDR2 ECC 667 a little better. I like ECC RAM because while other peoples games are crashing when i'm playing with them, i'll be winning the match. ECC isn't slower. plus on computers i tested with either Corsair or Kingston ECC RAM they crashed less. but if the RAM is ECC will that be a problem? does systool support SATA II, P4 3.8Ghz, Intel 955XE,

Very nice wizzard works a treat.

While your messing around with the menus maybe you could add tick boxes to the systool options so people with AMD machines can hide the Intel options and vice versa.

Also the cpu overclocking tab detects my Neo 2 Platinum [Nforce 3 250] as a [Nforce 3] and so gives the wrong reading by default.

[W1zzard]

all neo2 platinum's use nforce3-250 ?

[sideeffect]

Yes ALL Neo 2 Platinum's are Nforce 3-250.

I have a big issue with the systool, it messed up my Intel Desktop Control Center. Also i built my rig myself new specs are below in my signature. all the new parts coming in from Ingram Micro by the end of this week along with an ATA 133 2-port card, Logitech G7 mouse, Logitech G15 keyboard, couple of weeks they say they will have X1800XT's so i'll get it, i'll be glad to test ATI tool and Systool for X1800XT compatibility, just remember i have a Windows x64 machine. I plan to go Crossfire since my intel D955XBK is compatible, so i'll be glad to test crossfire compatibility as well. I got another $600 worth of lighting, a PSU, fans, Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro, i'll post it in project logs when i'm done.

[maks_1]

Could you please add support and overclocking for the ASUS P4R800-VM motherboard?
If you have some spare time, of course:)

[Lasis]

It would be very nice if clicking on "close" button would minimise SysTools to trey (like Skype and some other soft does) or at least a warning would appear asking "Do you really want to close SysTools (like DC++)

I`m newbie in making system run faster. I`ve tried SysTools build 617 on DFI LanParty nF3 250Gb, well, it could`t do overclocking (at least the one, that would still work after reboot), but I love it as monitoring & benchmarking tool.

[Azhago]

Hello,
Surely already asked or already in the to-do list but...

- Abillity to change speed fan when possible by the motherboard (like speedfan)
- Make the event tab working (or there is a probleme on my computers, but i can't use them)
- change the fsb and multiple for the CPU (already possible manually) but in fonction of the temps (if events where working, i could be possible by there) - to replace "rightmark cpuclock" like software
- make a "start with windows" button ;) - even if it's simple to create a shortcut with "start minimised" option and to place it in the startup folder
- Make it skinnable (can contribute for skin :) )
- CPU-Z like fonctions (cpu speed, details etc..)
- monitoring : ability to see more than one at a time (like cpu temp + chipset temp etc in a only one monitor)
- Find max fsb working with dual-core or multi-cpu (like the benchmark module, where multi-thread is possible)

If this fonctions can appear, we will be able to throw cpu-z, speedfan, motherboard monitor, rightmark cpu clock etc.. All the cool things will be in one software (and so many are already in :) )

Thanks a lot for the samurize plugin, amazing.

Actually, i love systool for all the already implemented fonctions, and i wanted to give a big thank you to the person or the crew who made it. Keep going, already ultra cool, will be amazing !

[sideeffect]

Was thinking it would be cool to have the Fuzzy cube artifact tester from atitool in Systool. Always loved that cube to stress the card. Then i got a nvidia card and found it still the best artifact tester to use.

Well i dont think a lot of nvidia card users realise that it exists and so it would be great in systool and would complement the overclocking options well.

[Azhago]

A good feature to be added, for all those who have a dual-core CPU, or a bi-CPU system :
Find max FSB in CPU OC with the option to test superpi in multi-thread, just like in the benchmark module (the code is already ther, just put the option on/off in CPU OC tab)

i came here to say that, and when you do the stress test, i think it would be nice to tell you how many times youve gone through...just trying to get this thing to run as hot as it can.

another idea i just came up with was while finding max something...would it be possible to choose how many times you want to test it before it bumps the clock speed up. since sometimes you can pass the first and second time around, but an error comes up the third time.

The option is already here for cpu fsb find max : you can choose to test with a greater superpi (like 8M, or 32M) instead of the default 1M.

i second that.

also. systool doesnt seem to like half multipliers at all. when i run a half multiplier, it rounds down and doesn't display anything right. in the cpu overclocking section.

support for the 233 MHz DRAM divider (7/6)? it doesn't display the memory frequency right if i run the 233 Mhz dram ratio...shows it as being 1:1 when its not. also cpu overclocking section.

thanks for the fix in build 642...using systool all the time once again.

First of all: Hey everyone, new here, never posted.. bla hehe
Now my bug report / feature request (please move my post, if it's wrong in here !):
Because I've got a watercooled system and I don't have much air coolers at all, the
"Fan Output - Monitoring"
is most often completely useless for me, BUT: It says I had 50,4% Fan Output on all fans all the time :wtf: .
Maybe noone has the same problem as me (and it doesn't annoy me too much), but there could be a way to fix it so I wanted to do a report ;).
Thx for listening, out.

[zekrahminator]

make a beta so I know its stable? :D

[Jerome1]

Feature request:

Ability to run systool with a non administrator user account.

Thx.

[Thermopylae_480]

I feel if you are not an admin on a computer you should not be able to use systool to change any settings. If you need something for information gathering you could use CPU-Z. Of course thats just my opinion.

[Jerome1]

I'm using systool along with the samurize plugin to report cpu / gpu temp, fans speed, etc..
It's the only tool, I know who is able to report both system monitoring and ati/nvidia temp.
it's actually runing great with admin rights on my computer, but i don't really like having that kind of program running with all privileges (don't say i'm paranoid :) )
So, should be great if we could at least use the monitoring part without those admin rights.

[jacky89]

It would be cool if systool and atitool is integrated such that when a 3D application is detected, a profile for both the fsb clock and vga clocks can be loaded. It will also be nice if systool can load certain profiles when it detects certain programs are loaded. That way we can optimize electric efficiency and save on our electric bills and also allow our hardware to last longer. Fan speed adjustment like speedfan will be great too.

Anyways, this is a great program just like atitool! I love them!

Hi, i'm Victor from Argentina! (Sorry my bad english)
I'm overclocking my CPU with the extraordinary Systool, but i like very much if two more things are added to this utility: One; if you please put a test pattern sizes of 64k, 128k, and 256k for select in CPU OVERCLOCKING tab. This is to perform automatic tune using the + 2 mhz fsb per second method (because more than +2 fsb per second cause the system crash).
Two; if you please add a STOP WHEN FSB LIMIT IS REACHED select option. This mean when the fsb clocks up to the limit previous marked in the FSB LIMIT BOX, then stop finding and stay with the current clock.

My system: Msi Neo3 F nForce 4-4x and sempron 64 2500+ (1406 Ghz @ 2536 Ghz. 362 fsb ok)

Bye and thank you for all. :D

[_33]

There is a bug in NF4 overclocking in Systool where it doesn't give proper ram speed with the multiplier used. It would be nice to have a good calculation on that for any multiplier and any LDT and ram speed ratios. I bet it's a comlex formula thoe.

[adamwinn]

Definitely need to implement Prime95 small FFT's. Nothing finds pure CPU errors faster than that. Often I'll be able to pass a 32M SuperPI but fail a small FFT within minutes.

Actually, I just finished a 32M superPi successfully, and right afterward I opened up Prime and did a small FFT torture test. It ran less than 10 seconds before it found an error.

What I've found to be the most effective way of finding the max OC on my Amd64's has been to lower the HT multiplier to 3 or 4, and the ram divider so that neither the mobo or ram can affect the stability. Then I use ClockGen to bump up the FSB 20mhz at a time until I can't pass a 1M SuperPi. Then I start to slow the fsb back down until I can pass a 32m superpi. After I pass a 32m pi I proceed to run small FFT's and slow the fsb down in small increments until I can run at least 24 hours of small FFT's without error.
This is all assuming that I just set the vcore to the highest level I'm comfortable with at the beginning so I don't have to keep rebooting into bios to bump up/down the vcore. After I find my speed that the cpu will do 24 hour of small fft's I repeat the FFT testing while backing off the vcore until I reach the minimum vcore required for a 24 hour fft run.

this is really badly written, sorry, but I think just adding in Prime95 type testing and expanding the built-in scripting of the program would allow people like myself who already have well established routines to automate our routines in the program.

This MoBo, is mounted on Hp pavilion slimline s7410...
Hp bios doesn't allow to change FSB, so it's possible to change with SysTool???

Thanks in advance

no its not. you cant overclock. get a new motherboard/memory/power supply.

[Kynes]

Is there the remote posibility of adding support to the Core Solo/Core Duo FSB overclocking? These are great overclocking chips, and the ones with low multipliers (T2300/T2400) have a lot of headroom.

Thanks in advance.

I think there are a lot of us(intel 945gnt users) that would like support for the IDT CV115FPVG clock generator.

It's very good idea to support this chip. It's (ICS 954204 BFLF) used in
Gigabyte GA-8I945GZME-RH motherboard. It support Core2duo 6300 - but
only with 200MHz FSB :-( So proc works at 1400MHZ core speed only.

Any chance to see support for the ASRock 775Dual-VSTA clockgen? It's a Realtek RTM866-890, probably as aged or more than the chipset of the board (VIA PT880 Ultra / VT8237A). I've found nothing trough internet about it, so probably isn't used almost anywhere else.

I have noticed lately in the monitoring window that if you adjust the graph windows to a different range than default, they do not stay that way. Say for instance you adjust the 12v graph from it default range of 15.20v - 9.70v to 12.68v - 11.4v. If you move out of that window or pick a different sesnor, then go back to the 12v sensor it has moved back to the default 15.20v - 9.70v. It would be nice to have these stay, or perhaps be able to set them in the properties box for that sensor.

[__Miguel_]

Hello,
Surely already asked or already in the to-do list but...

- Abillity to change speed fan when possible by the motherboard (like speedfan)
- Make the event tab working (or there is a probleme on my computers, but i can't use them)
- change the fsb and multiple for the CPU (already possible manually) but in fonction of the temps (if events where working, i could be possible by there) - to replace "rightmark cpuclock" like software
- make a "start with windows" button ;) - even if it's simple to create a shortcut with "start minimised" option and to place it in the startup folder
- Make it skinnable (can contribute for skin :) )
- CPU-Z like fonctions (cpu speed, details etc..)
- monitoring : ability to see more than one at a time (like cpu temp + chipset temp etc in a only one monitor)
- Find max fsb working with dual-core or multi-cpu (like the benchmark module, where multi-thread is possible)

If this fonctions can appear, we will be able to throw cpu-z, speedfan, motherboard monitor, rightmark cpu clock etc.. All the cool things will be in one software (and so many are already in :) )
Picking this one up, I'd like to second some of the requests and add some new ones:

1) SpeedFan-like abilities would be nice. I do use an external fan controler, but it would be nice, nontheless..

2) RM CPU Clock Utility-like and NHC-like functions would be VERY welcome: on-demand FID, VID and ODCM changes, as well as advanced CPU settings... It would be like a dream come true

3) Dynamic FSB settings (along with FID, VID and ODCM changes; and, since we're at it, if possible, even NB and SB voltages) to underclock (say, a 200MHz-FSB C2D on idle) and overclock the CPU on the fly, based on load and/or software loaded... 2) would be like a dream come true, this would be heaven on earth...

4) Keep the "KISS" approach, and PLEASE don't EVER make it skinnable: is is nice, yes, but the eyecandy makes the software a CPU and memory hog (and you don't want THAT on this kind of utility...); or at least make the "skinnability" an optional module...

5) Include a nice and clean "on event" module, which can be easilly configured (SpeedFan, anyone?)

6) Make the software x64-friendly: I have several very unpleasant "glitches" (read: "bugs") with my copy, running on Windows XP x64...

If all of the above can be achieved, SysTool will become THE best utility EVER to manage the CPU... Please tell me it is all possible... Pretty please, with sugar on top? :P

Keep it up.

Cheers.

Miguel

[Shredder]

Thank you Wizzard and all who helped developed SYSTool for producing a tool that accurately tracks the individual core temperatures on the Kentsfield. Well Done.

Again, Great work. :toast:

[Grings]

on my asrock 939dual sata2 the overclocking section tells me i have duoble fsb and clockspeed

eg 400fsb 4400mhz on an 11x multi, 400fsb 3600mhz on a 9x multi

[Kursah]

Auto Start w/Windows ability would be cool.

Another ability is using registry execution durning start up to disable C1E so you don't necessarily have to start the program to have it disabled! that would be way cool!

[__Miguel_]

Is it just me, or even the "non-OC friendly" mobos have the ability to disable C1E at the BIOS? I have both an Asus P5B-Deluxe and an ASRock 775i945GZ mobos and both have the ability to disable C1E from the BIOS. I believe this is true to the vast majority of the mobos...

Unless, of course, you want full C1E support except at some times during the OS execution. That would require something different, and the registry execution is welcome. You can, however, add it manually either to the registry startup or the "Startup" Start Menu sub-folder. Separate service and GUI would be much more interesting, one could have systool running without even being logged on (very interesting for some people, for me it would, at least).

Cheers.

Hi

There is "SetFSB" for DQ965GF Ultra Version 1.5a1
This software is a beta version.

Supported Intel DQ965GF IntelQ965(ICH8DO) IDT CV174C

This didn't work on my Dell P965, started with error, so i think chipset issue.
Looks like it may help Insect111 though as looks to match his system.

Edit: Ah i see you posted to yourself :-)

I will give you a link to the software I'm referring to once I get confirmation that it's ok to "announce" this beta release. I'm using it on my system now. I don't have the latest hardware and I don't want to fry my CPU so I just overclocked it a little bit. (stock speed is 3400MHz, overclocked to 4110MHz) I guess you know what processor I'm referring to based on the stock speed, :-).

I tried it on my system (Dell XPS 410-P965-6400), and it did change FSB and stick, probelm though I blue sceened a little while after and was only small increase as test (not even 100MHZ).
I have question, when you used it what did stats show for PCI and PCI-express at default/stock speeds or did you only use the "ignore PCI" option.
with that unclicked it shows right MHZ and FSB speeds but PCI=50mhz and PCI-e =100MHZ, dors yours show that too ?

seems to high to me, might just be this Dell MB not getting fully reconized right and they maybe lock it up to tight to do anything.

[Intel Rep]

I recently noticed this fourm and see you found a way to overclock the IDT cv174 PLL on my DG965WH board (full name IDT CV174CPAG). I was in the middle of building a high end system with this board when I realized i couldnt overclock with it at all. Stupid me. After alot of research I think this beta of clockgen may be the only way. Can someone verify that this application can overclock the DG965WH board with a core 2 duo before i continue on building. I dont want to get this thing up and running and find it doesnt oc.

Also If anyone out there finds a way to oc via the bios please let us know.
