Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

[fcastro]

I honestly dislike motherboard manufactures software. In my old Abit board they also had some tuner software that was always doing something crazy. I guess this saga of junky software continues with EasyTuner 6.

I am constantly getting the GetCPUInfo fail message "Load ycc fail!!". Seems to be happening when I am not using the machine when its idle and or possibly going into sleep. I say possibly because again the machine is just on and not doing anything except for shutting the monitor off.

Anyone else getting this flaky message? My specs are below

I dont use ET6,it didnt work properly on this mbrd.
Theres a bios fix out now it seems.
ET5 didnt work well on my previous mbrd for me.
ycc eh,its not Vcc is it?
How is the pc running now tho aside from that, whats it running at 24/7?

I get this sometimes too. Didn't realise this was ET6. Running on an EX58-Extreme with F6b

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

Issues are fixed in the latest Beta BIOS's for both boards I believe, the Extreme for sure it is fixed in I know (F6f)

I've just upgraded tp F6F, so i'll shout if it happens again. So far looking good, and the first bios i've tried that worked striaght off with the 3.2Ghz setting in ET6. Very new to over clocking, so taking it easy for a while.

I'm running F7 and the problem isn't fixed. Def "Load YCC Fail".

Latest Beta BIOS for the UD3P is F9b >>

http://www.fileden.com/files/2008/7/28/2024082/EP45UD3P.F9b.zip

I would try that first ^^^

Latest Offical F8
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - BIOS Download

Please do not forget to load optimized defaults and save/apply/reboot back to the BIOS before you make your changes

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

I got this error message upon waking up this morning. First time after building my rig last week. I have the latest official BIOS F8. When will the latest beta BIOS become official?

Thank you.

I have EP45-DS3R and the machine recently, after several months OK, has been failing similarly- after it's just been sitting idle. The graphics get bad, and some error message popups, like today, GetCgtable-Device IO Control fail, and Load ycc fail. According to PC Wizard, I have BIOS F10 date 9/22/2008. I was thinking it was the video card. Maybe I will uninstall Easytuner since I don't use it.

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

I suggest you uninstall that version of Easytune, and install the latest one >>
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - Utility

And I suggest you install the latest BIOS F10
GIGABYTE - Support&Download - Motherboard - BIOS - GA-EP45-DS3R (rev. 1.0)

Here is the latest Beta BIOS, no known issues

Please do not use @BIOS, here is a Qflash guide on how to flash and load optimized defaults >>

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

Hi,

Better yet, uninstall Easytune altogether and overclock using the BIOS, it's rock solid compared to Easytune and a better choice in the long run. If Easytune fails or acts up so does your overclock.

If your BIOS is F10 then it must be from 2009, not 2008.

If you would like an instructions set (step by step) on overclocking through the BIOS I'll post it on the board.

I'm still using BIOS F8 (No problems whatsoever) and I'm running at 4.0ghz on air. I could probably go to 4.5Ghz but I've been busy and haven't been in the mode to fool around with it. I'm planning to push my overclock to the edge fairly soon.

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

well I have the F12 version of the BIOS on EX58-Extreme and this error still comes up once every 2 days or so...

there is no BIOS fix for it as I have the latest bios version...

I guess I should just stop using the bloody ET6 program when it fails to run properly...or if anyone found any fix please let me know...

cheers

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

you need to un-install easytune 6,the check program folder/gigabyte/easytune and delet the folder as it leaves a few files behind,then install the latest one,just use it to set cpu fan speed and not for overclocking

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

Thanks for the tip.

I have uninstalled ET6 but whats the latest version then? Isnt 6 the latest version which I had?

Also I am using a watercooled CPU cooling system so I do not have a CPU fan, so should I need to install EasyTune at all?



Thanks

Re: Gigabyte's EasyTuner 6 - GetCPUInfo "Load ycc fail" when machine is idle

latest easytune 6 is in overclocking tools/programs on main tweaktown page,or on gigabytes website,theres all updated versions that get released,its handy to have just to see what voltages you use n stuff,i never overclock with it just use it to monitor things
