RightMark CPU Clock Utility 2.1 Released
RightMark CPU Clock Utility (RMClock) is a small GUI application designed for real-time CPU frequency, throttling and load level monitoring and on-the-fly adjustment of the CPU performance level on supported CPU models via processor's power management model-specific registers (MSRs). In automatic management mode it continuously monitors the CPU usage level and dynamically adjusts the CPU frequency, throttle and/or voltage level as needed, realizing the "Performance on Demand" concept.
Changes to this version include (in reverse chronological order):
- Added battery life time and battery charging time estimation.
- Extended range of performance/power saving preference levels.
- Added option to display CPU load meter or CPU load graph icon.
- Fixed handling of Windows power management settings.
- Fixed hiding of Windows power icon when the power source changes.
- Fixed Intel Centrino platform chipset-based throttling settings.
- New design of battery level icon.
- Fixed battery level icon indication when battery life time info is unavailable.
- Added option to hide battery icon when on AC power and fully charged.
- Replaced CPU load meter icon with a CPU load graph icon.
- Changed CPU throttle output format in log file.
- Fixed Intel Centrino platform settings availability.
- Fixed tray icons operation with nonstandard Windows shells.
- Added option for the way of multi-core CPU load determination.
- Added option for the CPU performance states transitions method (single-step or multi-step).
- Fixed saving of some Centrino platform settings.
- Added preliminary support for Intel Core 2 CPU family.
- Added frequency icon units (MHz/GHz) selection.
- Added battery info page and battery status icon.
- Extended control/refresh intervals range (registry tweak).
- Fixed AltVID Change Enable issues on AMD K8 revision E platforms.
- Added AltVID stabilization time auto-adjust feature for AMD K8 rev. E platforms.
- Unlocked complete range of AltVID settings for AMD K8 rev. E platforms.
- Added option to show/hide main window button in Windows taskbar.
- Added new default P-states tables for most AMD K8 CPUs.
- Fixed saving of CPU info files and/or monitoring logs in a proper directory.
- Added new Intel logos for nearly all Intel CPUs.
- Modified P-states selection behavior (removed multiple states selection warning) for "Power Saving" and "Maximum Performance" profiles.
- Added option to enable/disable profiles selection with left-clicking main tray icon.
- Fixed occasional lockups at "multiple refresh" condition possible to occur when the system is under high load.
- Fixed Windows Power Management special cases handling (when Suspend or Hibernate states are not allowed).
- Fixed occasional lockups at program startup on AMD dual-core platforms.
- Added proper VIDs table for AMD Turion CPUs.
- Added unlocking FIDs, VIDs and TM2 target programming (as registry tweaks).
- Added Intel Centrino (ICH4/ICH6/ICH7) CPU thermal and normal throttling settings.
- Replaced animated icons for "Performance on Demand" profile with better looking ones.
- Implemented Master P-States table feature (shared by all profiles).
- Added VIA C7 PowerSaver technology support.
- Fixed bugs in Transmeta CPU support.
- Added CPUID check so that the profile settings won't load if the CPU mismatch is detected.
The release has also been bugfixed already:
- Solved problems with changing display mode when the utility is running.
- Application settings saving on Windows session ending.
