P4P800-E Deluxe: Automatic On At Preset Time?
Can't find anything in the Bios settings, but given the sophistication of
everything else it seems logical that the board sb able to turn itself on at a preset time. ? Also, can anybody describe "Throttle Mode"? (pg 4-29: "Throttle Slow Clock Ratio: Allows you to select the duty cycle in throttle mode". IMHO, Asus' manual isn't half bad - but it could use an index and somebody should talk to the writer about circular definitions... -- PeteCresswell |

You will have to decide whether you want to allow ACPI to control the alarm, or use the BIOS to control the alarm. It could be, with that setting disabled (the default), that the Windows scheduler will load that register when the computer is shut down or put to sleep. With the above setting enabled, you may find the Windows scheduler functionality is partially disabled or behaves differently. I doubt both pieces of software can use the same register at the same time. As for "Throttle Slow Clock": I don't really believe this description: http://www.rojakpot.com/default.aspx...var1=0&var2=16 Volume 3 of the Intel Arch Manuals, PDF page 517 "Software Controlled Clock Modulation" http://www.intel.com/design/pentium4/manuals/253668.htm PDF page 238 shows the C0 Processor power state using this feature. http://www.acpi.info/DOWNLOADS/ACPIspec-2-0b.pdf The real question is, does ACPI respect a BIOS setting for this function ? Or does Bill Gates decide the %throttle. Now, all you need is some tool that can read the CPU MSR registers while you are in Windows. Paul |

Per Montana Pete :
The only reliable way I have been able to do this is to use an APC Smart UPS with PowerChute software. It powers my MCE2005 computer down at night and up every day without fail. I'm using PowerChute 1.3, but I don't see anything in PowerChute for scheduling on/off times. Are you using 1.3 too? -- PeteCresswell |
