Generic AMD Overdrive 3.0 screenshots
I took the liberty of making some screenshots of the improved AMD Overdrive revision 3.0
I just love the diagram tab. Click it and you get a quick overview of what is connected to your PC in a nice graphically enhanced environment. A very nice way to see how your hardware is connected and thus visualized.
Here I have the 955BE processor active. If you disable performance mode and flick the little green button, the processor will become very power efficient, as it will go as low as 800 MHz for its clock down sequence.
There's new improved fan control functionality as well. You can of course have the fans regulated automatically, but with the more noisy fans, you can manage them manually, as long as they are PWM ready, of course.
The tool has many many options and features, so much more even that we can't show all of them in an already large review. But obviously overclocking and tweaking is of course what Overdrive is really designed for. Let's go to the next page where we'll start the benchmark portion of this article.
