I am currently unable to get “Cool N Quiet” to function on my system.
While it was operational in the past, I noticed today that the clock is
no longer being throttled. I discovered this when I right-clicked on
“My Computer,” and the clock speed was constantly at 2.00GHz. I
attempted to run the “AMD Dashboard Demo,” but received the following
error message:
“Failed initializing, make sure the AMDTools Driver is installed and
that this system has a PSS or PST object.”
I then downloaded and installed the “AMD Power Monitor,” which does run
successfully, and was able to verify that the clock was remaining
constant at 2GHz, regardless of CPU load. I then updated the “AMD
Processor Driver” from 1.2.2.2 to 1.3.2.0053. After restarting the
computer, the issue was still present. I then uninstalled the
1.3.2.0053 processor drivers, restarted, and reinstalled the MSI
supplied “AMD Cool and Quiet Driver,” version 1.2.2.0. After restarting
the computer, the issue was still present.
The motherboard is an MSI-6702, which is an AMD recommended motherboard.
“Cool N Quiet” is enabled in the BIOS, and Windows Power Management is
set to “Minimal Power Management.”
How do I get “Cool N Quiet” working on my machine again? Thanks.
