Yes, it's 2.0 volts and I was also wondering about this as my MSI MS-5169 (FIC PT-2200) only documents down to 2.2 volts, but it will in fact do 2.0 volts which is 0 0 0 0 0 . https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=110965 I found my iDragon mP6 will run Windows 2003 x32 Enterprise Server R2 …

is there any way how to find out, if this version of FX 5700 LE from Inno3d (passive cooled) is 64-bit or 128-bit? Read BAR + 0x00100200 and check the low 3 bits. switch( gmw & 0x07 ) // yes { // case 0: gab->gmw = 32; break; // m_iMemBusWidth = 32; case 1: case 4: gab->gmw = 64; break; // m_ …

I got a HWINFO32 report and debug file from the system. It looks like CPUZ messed up the SMBus SPD reading as looking in the .DBG file SPD offset 07 is 00 which is what it should be, further the SPD checksum is correct. SMB:0:50 ..... 00 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 0A 0B 0C 0D 0E 0F 0123456789ABCDEF …

IDK. This is a newer module from the mid-2000s I think. It is MemTest stable. MemTest does not test the SPD. I looked some more and what CPUZ reported is: Data width 16448 bits Correction None Registered no Buffered no EPP no XMP no JEDEC timings table CL-tRCD-tRP-tRAS-tRC @ frequency JEDEC #1 2. …

Both the MGA-1064SG Mystique and MGA-1064SG Mystique have the same PCI Device ID, but different PCI Revision IDs so once they are in a system it's easy to tell them apart, further the driver reports the RAMDAC speed.

What do such as CPUZ, HWiNFO or my SIV utility report ? They should get it right even is the BIOS does not know about the chip. Depending which Windows you have there may also be ~MHz in HKLM\Hardware\Description\System\CentralProcessor\0.

To my knowledge they don't really get that hot while using even pretty basic heat sinks. It depends on the heatsink type, if it uses fans and they fail then it's going to warm up quite quickly. I feel monitoring both the temperature and fan speeds is sensible, further if the temperature increases …
