OK, on this one, I'm at a loss.

Code: 
dual6200@dual6200m:~/tpc-0.44-rc2/src$ sudo tpc -l
TurionPowerControl 0.44-rc2 (export)
Turion Power States Optimization and Control - by blackshard

Main processor is Family 15h (Bulldozer/Interlagos/Valencia) Processor
	Family: 0xf		Model: 0x1		Stepping: 0x1
	Extended Family: 0x15	Extended Model: 0x1
	Package Type: 0x3	BrandId: 0x0	
Machine has 4 nodes
Processor has 8 cores
Processor has 7 p-states
Processor has 2 boost states

Power States table:
-- Node: 0 Core 0
core 0 pstate 0 (pb0) - En:1 VID:19 FID:17 DID:0.00 Freq:3300 VCore:1.3125

Do I just set to Pstate 1?
 
You need to install tear`s TurionPowerControl, link: http://darkswarm.org/tpc/tpc-svn64-tear4.tar.gz

Install it.

Then run code: (Change the freq and volt that suit your needs)

FREQ=3300
VCORE=1.13125
sudo TurionPowerControl -boostdisable
sudo TurionPowerControl -fo 1
sudo TurionPowerControl -set ps 2 vcore $VCORE freq $FREQ
sudo TurionPowerControl -set ps 1 vcore $VCORE freq $FREQ
sudo TurionPowerControl -set ps 0 vcore $VCORE freq $FREQ
sleep 1
sudo TurionPowerControl -fo 0

You can then see the output by running code:

sudo TurionPowerControl -l | grep "pstate 2"

And temp by code:

sudo TurionPowerControl -temp

Thanks!

Yup, I finally installed TPC on a machine yesterday, now I'm playing with it.

Could I just:

sudo tpc -fo 1

?

PowerNow is off, so would it force a boost state anyhow?
 
PowerNow must be disablet to be able to overclock with TPC. You have to run them all before the machine will run at 3.3GHz.

I am not an expert on this commands, so for further question I hope that tear or some of the other guys on the forum will answer you.
 
Thanks. Got to rethink the cooling. I'm at 63°C on one cpu and 50°C on the other at 2.9ghz.
 
Bummer. From 2.6>2.9 went 17:20 to 16:55 TPF. Not worth the power.
 
On my GL board with 6282 ES, I disabled PowerNow, but I had to leave CPQ enabled in order for tpc to work properly. Before I ran into some issues this past weekend, here's my run-tpc script:

Code: 
#!/bin/sh
TPC=TurionPowerControl
#FREQ=3400	#works great at 1.1875
FREQ=3500	#works at 1.1875, VRM CPU4 105C
#FREQ=3600
#VCORE=1.1750
VCORE=1.1875
#VCORE=1.2000
#VCORE=1.225	# enabled 4/4/13 after two weeks at 1.20, hard hung
#  $TPC -nbfid 7 for 2200MHz, then soft reboot
#  $TPC -nbfid 8 for 2400MHz, then soft reboot, only 40GB RAM seen
$TPC -boostdisable
$TPC -fo 3
$TPC -set ps 2 vcore $VCORE freq $FREQ
$TPC -set ps 1 vcore $VCORE freq $FREQ
$TPC -set ps 0 vcore $VCORE freq $FREQ
sleep 1
$TPC -fo 0
 
feq/200=your multi so if freq=2400/200=12, so then if you want more, 13*200=2600mhz.
 
Qinsp, first, take a deep breath :)

Second, it's either:
(a) PowerNow/Turbo/CPB ON and tpc -psmax 1 OR
(b) PowerNow/Turbo/CPB OFF, P-state 0/1/2 manipulation and then use of P-state 2
   (by means of -fo 1 (or higher) and -fo 0); use brilong's script as a base/reference
Doing anything else may not yield expected results and is just asking for trouble.

Third, how do you know your TPF of 17:20 was at 2.6 ? What if Turbo was kicking in?
Was the speed measured by means of clockspeed utility?
I suspect that 17:20 data point wasn't really taken at 2.6 but will need to know project
number (to speculate) and we'll probably need to re-measure (this time w/clockspeed).

Fourth, make sure to always run same part (ideally start from scratch) of the same exact
WU (not just same project). More info on how to prep a unit for benchmarking: http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1038639726&postcount=433

Fifth, download and run fahdiag (pipe into pastebinit) on that machine, then share resulting URL, please:
Code: 
cd $HOME
rm -f fahdiag
wget https://raw.github.com/team33/fahdiag/released/fahdiag
chmod +x fahdiag
./fahdiag | pastebinit

Thanks! Will do this AM.

EDIT: After I fix the cooling. Should not get that hot that easy.

But really dumb question: TPC is actually changing the unlocked multiplier, right? It's not changing the base clock (200)?

Except in my case where I seem to be one of the few running a GL board with 6282 ES chips and requiring CPB ON with PowerNow/Turbo OFF to get tpc overclock working. When I ran the above script with CPB OFF (as recommended), I couldn't get "clockspeed" or "turbostat" or anything to show I was actually running at the overclocked frequency.

As soon as I experimented with CPB ON, but using tpc to disable Turbo, etc., I found I was getting TPF under 9:00 on certain 8101 WU.

What is CPB?

NOTE: I'm running the ASUS dual G34 mobo.

Core Performance Boost (CPB) aka Turbo.

I have to leave it enabled in the BIOS of my SuperMicro GL board or else tpc cannot overclock the 6282 ES CPUs. I use tpc to software-disable it as noted in the script I posted previously.
 
Thanks, that's what I thought it meant "CPU Performance Boost" or something.

Yeah, that's pretty strange behavior. Wish I could dig into that one those days...
