EPU-4 Engine?
Jane_Galt
since I got it. So I was looking around and found this little tray utility
called an EPU-4 Engine with some settings that they dont really explain in
there, but which seem to be designed around some pseudo-ecology global
warming political correctness. It has like this pentagonal shaped dial that
says Tranquility. Performance, Reliability, Convenience and Energy Saved.
But it wont let me set it for what I'd like, for example Blazing Speed.
It has Auto, High Perfomance and Max Power Saving settings, and moves this
weird shaped object around inside that dial area, not really focusing on any
one point inside it.
Who designed this thing, some California eco-kooks?
They worry about saving a watt or two in my quad core?
Anyway, is there any way to just get rid of this thing and set it for "Fast
as Blazes"?

"Remember that there is no such dichotomy as 'human rights' versus 'property
rights.' No human rights can exist without property rights. Since material
goods are produced by the mind and effort of individual men, and are needed
to sustain their lives, if the producer does not own the result of his
effort, he does not own his life. To deny property rights means to turn men
into property owned by the state. Whoever claims the 'right' to
'redistribute' the wealth produced by others is claiming the 'right' to treat
human beings as chattel." -- Ayn Rand

and if so, get it and install it.
Next, go to the ASUSTek site
http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
and flash the bios and then get the latest EPU4 version (1.00.04 maybe?).
(Uninstall the old EPU4 and then install the new)
Run thru the bios settings to check if all are ok and clear out in
overclocking then run it for a while to see if it performs ok. If so, go
back into the bios and tweak/overclock all you want.

Thanks Mike.
It's hard to tell about some of what I see there.
But I would like to get rid of the silly EPU-4 engine thing, if I could just
set something to run the quad core in screamin mode all the time, and damn
the 1 watt extra it uses.

Nah, that part is fine, every time I run it, all is well. :)

Thanks, will check all this out. I can overclock this? Without messing with
wiring or anything?

This thing is a Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8300 @ 2.5GHz, with 8GB RAM. The only
thing it says is slowing it down in the Win Experience thingie ( 3.6 ), is
the onboard video, but I dont do games anyway.

Ok, not much diff there.

Ack. My bios, when I boot, says
Asus EZ Flash 2
CG5270 ACPI Bios 0206
Not sure how that relates to anything at that site.

I found the update utility under Asus in my Programs and ran it repeatedly
but it never does anything. It goes to the update server and keeps tweaking
it every once in awhile but never completes what it's trying to do.

Does it really affect performance? If so I guess it depends upon the amont
of electricity savings you get. Does it cut down the fan noise when idle?
The ASUS mobo with AMD quad cpu here has their old Cool and Quite (CnQ) and
Speed Step which apparently the EPU-4 replaces. Supposed to save elecricity
which I haven't measured but can tell a difference in fan noise.
I read that both the mobo and video card must be from ASUS for it to work
for the VGA
