ATI Catalyst 9.2 driver

Catalyst™ 9.2 brings performance benefits in several cases where framerates are
CPU-limited. Some measured examples are:
• Crysis DX10 gains up to 20%
• Crysis Warhead DX10 gains up to 20%
• World in Conflict gains up to 5%

work only on 965/P35/P45 chipset

OCCT 3.0.1 RC1

Changelog :
* Built-in monitoring updated
* CPU Usage cannot be below 0 anymore
* The OCCT directory is now properly deleted upon uninstall

CrystalDiskInfo 2.1.2

fix bug

[stasio]

Updated with:

SetFSB 2.1.97.0



Added ICS9LPRS365BGLF(FS U9200 with the hardware remodeling).
Supported Acer TravelMate 2428AWXMi(CV125PAG).

[stasio]

Update with:

Everest Ultimate Edition 5.00.1667

* Hardware Monitoring / improved current CPU clock measurement
* detection of ATI Catalyst 9.2 driver
* fixed: motherboard specific sensor info for Gigabyte P31-ES3G
* fixed: south bridge information for Intel ICH10, Ibex Peak PCH
* fixed: lockup on MSI MegaBook S270, MegaBook S430 (while ISA sensors detection and SMBus scanning)

Core Temp 0.99.5 (Build 11) (32/64-bit)

- Fix: Incorrect clock speeds reported on some systems.
- Fix: At startup Core Temp shows 0 (?) or 21 (?) on AMD K8 series.
- Fix: Turion MK series recognition was wrong.
- Add: Completely new code for processor speed detection.
- Change: Temp turns Orange when temperature is over TControl, and Red when CPU is thottling/critical.

This version is still "warm" from the compiler. The drivers it comes with are NOT digitally signed (as they are not finalized yet), so Windows Vista and 7 64bit users will have to reboot and Disable driver digital signature enforcement by pressing F8 at startup.

awesome hands down!

Thanks Dweirdo,
updated with:

OCCT 3.0.1

Changelog (Since 3.0.0) :

GPU:MEMTEST
    * Now compatible with GeForce cards with more than 512MB under Vista (A Cuda bugs was encountered, but i found a workaround)
    * Now 4 times faster (thanks to a switch to Cuda 2.1 which came with bugfixes in the SDK - new prerequisites though)
    * The test cannot be run on GeForce 7 or lower anymore

MONITORING
    * OCCT now saves monitoring sensor based on sensor names when available, not on position in a list. Thus, when a sensor disappear, OCCT configuration is preserved
    * Engine has been updated - new CPU support,...
    * the maximpum CPU temp can now be set at a temp higher than 99°C (before, it could be done, but it was reset upon reloading OCCT at 80°C)

TRANSLATION
    * Arabic and Romanian support have been added
    * Italian have been updated

OCCT REQUIREMENTS
    * Up-to-date DirectX9 (Under Vista, DirectX 10 and 9 are updated separatly) for GPU:3D and Power Supply
    * Nvidia Drivers 181.22 or later for GPU:MEMTEST (Now based on CUDA 2.1,as several critical bugs have been fixed in this release).

ATI Tray Tools 1.6.9.1382 Beta

· Fixed localization bugs for CrossFire dialog window
· Updated ini files handling procedures to be more compatible with Windows Vista

-Core i5 support has been added as well as support for some of the early Core i7 based Xeon (ES) processors

OCCT 3.0.1a.b01

Changelog :
* GPU:MEMTEST will now refuse to execute on cards incompatible with Cuda 2.0/2.1. I recently discovered that this list includes 8800GTS/GTX/ULTRA (i.e. G80-based cards). You need G84 based cards, or later. For me, this is seriously hindering GPU:MEMTEST usefulness.
