nForce2 C2 Cooling Patch by The NGO Group

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 02:45 AM

This patch will allow nForce2 chipset based motherboards to use C1/C2/C3 advanced cooling mode instead of the basic S1 mode and reduce idle temperatures by 5-10c degrees! supports only Windows XP/2000!
unlike other utilities this is only a device driver (less ram usage) and since nForce2 has BIOS programmed S1 bus disconnection. other cooling utilities (using S1 mode) are useless with the nForce2 chipset!

please post feedbacks

How do you install this I have a NF7-S board could you desribe how to install this if you could help me thanks

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 03:00 AM

1.extract to temporary location
2.execute setup.bat
3.press yes on the reboot prompt

jeffro29 · Sep 9, 2004, 03:06 AM

What do you mean by tempoary location

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 03:07 AM

means.. anywhere you want..

jeffro29 · Sep 9, 2004, 03:15 AM

Ok its on the desktop when i open it and click on the stall bat file it tells me
installation failed. Any ideas why....

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 03:19 AM

extract all files to c:\temp and execute setup.bat or right click C2NGO.inf and choose "install"

p.s.
support win2000/xp/2003/nt only

Razgriz · Sep 9, 2004, 03:28 AM

how do uninstall. My temps jacked UP 5 degress

Malus · Sep 9, 2004, 03:53 AM

I installed it. It says it's cooler, but is that really the case or does it just fudge with the temps?

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 04:02 AM

sure it does.. you can make your own sensor and u will see. anyway.. much how cooler ?

The_Neon_Cowboy · Sep 9, 2004, 04:05 AM

what exactly does it do?

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 04:06 AM

TexasNemesis: control panel add and remove programs..
before you uninstall check again you dont have any other cooling utilites that can may conflict. if its not that its probably because you have "unknown" motherboard..

it suppose to force nForce2's C1/C2/C3 instead of S1 - bus disconnect feature (advanced STOPGRANT) using modified BIOS hex value on the fly (same as WPCREDIT tool) and results better bus disconnect feature equals lower temps when cpu idle

and dont be confused by S2KCTL/CpuIdle because these tools only set S1 mode (basic mode),C1 (advanced)
and since nForce2 already use S1 mode (programmed and enabled by default in the BIOS) these tools are actully useless for nF2 chipsets.

and since i am using device driver its taking lower ram usage unlike cpuidle/others..

WisMerHill · Sep 9, 2004, 12:23 PM

Nice Regeneration, i'll give a go on my old Epox 8RDA+ and see what it does.
i'll let you know afterwards.

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 06:28 PM

any more feedbacks ?

reaps · Sep 9, 2004, 06:47 PM

Going to install it soon, i shall do you a nice wee writeup with pictures and everything! (ooooh ahhh)

Caze · Sep 9, 2004, 07:15 PM

Works fine for me. Lowered my idle temps with ~5C.

reaps · Sep 9, 2004, 07:22 PM

What i can gather from the inf this installs as a service, correct?

I've installed it now and i don't see either it listed in services or my idle temps being any lower.

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 07:26 PM

the service modify on the fly the BIOS on windows bootup.
its suppose to be in the service list in the device manager (show hidden devices) non plug and play drivers.. if its not exist there.. reinstall using right click on the inf and choose install

reaps · Sep 9, 2004, 07:35 PM

It's there, no difference in idle temps using a DFI Infinity II mobo with the latest bios installed.

Edit: Uninstalled it along with what i thought was remnants of cpu idle... however after reinstalling it popped back up under non plug and play, isn't that a bit naughty using their stuff?

Gardinen · Sep 9, 2004, 08:24 PM

whow...I just installed this on my secondary computer with nForce2, and the CPU temp has never been this low. From like avarage 45-47 into 38-39 (idle ofcourse

)

If those numbers are lies, I don't know. But atleast it looks good

Will try it out on my main computer.

BIG_FREAK · Sep 9, 2004, 08:34 PM

Well i have a 2500+ OC to 2.3Ghz 11.5 X 200 and it Droped my idle temps by 3-5 Degres

I used the nvidia system tool to check my temps right now it is 38 CPU and 22 system

used to be up around 43 and 27

sweet job dood

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 08:49 PM

well good to hear it working well on the most of the chips

~~HawK~~ · Sep 9, 2004, 08:53 PM

Yeah, So far it looks good on mine too, lower temps all the way, Good Job

MindlessOath · Sep 9, 2004, 09:07 PM

im trying it out too, have to reboot first.

Ney · Sep 9, 2004, 11:57 PM

It dropped only the CPU temp by 1-2 idle (Asus A7N8X-E Deluxe).

Malus · Sep 10, 2004, 01:15 AM

Well, it says my CPU is 33 C, which is pretty low. Now I want to get some better RAM and see how far I can push it. Or maybe I'll just buy a quieter fan.

~~REGENERAT1ON~~ · Sep 10, 2004, 01:19 AM

you have NF7 2.0. you can push it up without new ram (change dram multiplier)
or try to increase dram voltage by 0.2v

Considering it is PC2700 ram at PC3200, I think I've pushed them far enough.
