s3 resume again

•

Rudy

Thinking how my overclocking is keeping my computer from S3 resuming properly, I went around looking for some utility that would overclock the computer on the fly when certain programs are run. So that my computer would only overclock when I needed to, leaving the rest of the time ready for standby mode.

SpeedFan has a function that lets you change the clock speed based on CPU load, but it didn’t seem to work.

After scouring the net for a bit, I found a link to RM Clock via Guru3D. It somehow works on the power management features of the CPU/motherboard. So I set it to use a Power Saving profile that I had set to throttle the CPU to 50% when a standby/hibernate command is issued.

Either that made it work, or as Az aptly mentioned, a Systems Engineer solution of ‘keep trying till it works’. 😛

Yippie. Will test this further at my usual clock of 3.75GHz.

    S3 resume just won’t work at 3.75 (FSB 250). Guess I’ll have to be content with 3.60.

    And it seems I don’t need RM Clock at all. Resume seems to be fine without it.

    ps: forgot to mention that to force the system into s3 mode and not s1, you might need to use this: ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/products/Oemtest/v1.1/WOSTest/Tools/Acpi/dumppo.exe

    and maybe read this: http://thegreenbutton.com/forums/thread/29899.aspx
