RightMark CPU Clock Utility v2.25
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 of the supported CPUs 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.
Features
- Real-time CPU clock and CPU/OS load level determination and monitoring (with optional logging).
- Detection of virtually any form of CPU clock throttling.
- Dynamic on-demand CPU performance state (P-state) transitions via real-time adjustment of the CPU multiplier (FID) and requested voltage level (VID).
- Dynamic on-demand CPU clock modulation via real-time transitions between CPU clock throttling levels.
- Advanced CPU-specific power management settings for AMD K7, AMD K8 and Intel Pentium M/Pentium 4/Xeon CPU families.
- Support for multi-processor (SMP/HT/multicore) systems.
