Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
idle temp hack
- Thread starter FPS
- Start date
google for CPU cooler - im pretty sure that is the name of a prog like what your asking
do remember, that this is only helpful for older comps, since newer ones have this sorta thing built in, that is why there is a big diff between idle and load temps
at least, that is what i remember reading

I'm guessing your talking about HLT programs. Basically, it shuts off the idle parts of your CPU so it's not using so much electricity (and therefore generating less heat). Win9x does not include support for this, but WinNT does. You only need one of these programs (Rain, CPUidle, etc.) if you use Win9x.
I sure did...works on Nforce 2 boards...
This tweak can drop your idle CPU temps down as much as 8c, maybe more...depending on your system.
First thing you need to do is download WPCRSET & WPCREDIT.
http://rh03.hostreflex.com/~pacman10/Drisler/wpcredit.zip
- Extract to a directory.
- Run "INSTDD.EXE". Click Install. When done, you will be prompted for restart. Hit Yes! -
- Then go back to the folder with extracted files, and open "WPCREDIT.EXE"
- A ms-dos like window will pop-up. Move the blinking block (with arrow keys or your mouse pointer) until it says Offset 6F at the buttom. Now, click on the two digit number where it says "HEX", and change it to 1F (The Hex for Offset 6F would have previously been 9F, 8F or something else). Hit Set.
Your idle temps should now start falling.
You would have to do this hack/tweak everytime you rebooted your computer if it wasn't for WPCRSET.
- Go to directory and run "WPCRSET.EXE"
- Look at the top of the window: Enable select "Start" and make sure Device is on "enable"
- Then click Add. Enter 6F for the register, and 1F for the data
- Click Ok and you'll be prompted to restart.
Once, you rebooted, open WCREDIT again and see if the 6F register is still on 1F. If it is, then that's it..You're all done.

I am using CPU Idle Pro 6.0b I think with WinXP SP1 and my idle temps before were idle 34C, load 44C. With CPU Idle installed my temps are 24-27C, 37-39C. I hear a lot of people say it doesn't do anything on WinXP because it already has HLT built in but it works great on my system. I also heard that it works better on AMD Nforce2 systems. Pentium users won't really see a difference. I would recommend it to anyone with a AMD system. I ran some benches before and after and they didn't drop at all with it installed. It doesn't affect games either for me, but that's just my experience.
