Dr.Speed Software

Albatron's overclocking and monitoring utility is called Dr.Speed.


In "Easy" Mode you can get a quick glance at VCore, CPU Temperature, CPU Fan speed and change the FSB Frequency.


When you click on "Advanced" you can select from several panels. The first is Overclocking.
Here you can see detailed info on the motherboard's clocks and change them. Voltage change is also possible.


A really nice feature is an automatic overclocking detection test. It increases the FSB step by step while some plane models are rendered in another window. While it is a good idea, it needs much more work. No way a plane rendering test can stress the CPU enough. However, this test gives a pretty good ballpark figure on what the maximum frequency is, your CPU can run at, fine tuning will be neccessary.


The hardware monitoring section of Dr.Speed is pretty standard, you can see the same sensors as in the BIOS, alarms can be configured if needed.


Panel #3 shows you some general information about your system. Nothing special, but might come in handy when you need to give someone your system configuration for troubleshooting.


A feature I missed in the BIOS, is to control fan speed based on temperature. Here you can do it. Unfortunately only the CPU fan speed can be changed, the other fan outputs on the board are always running at 100%.


Here you can configure threshold levels for the monitoring alarms.

Overall I must say I like the visual design of Dr.Speed very much. The CPU Max. FSB detection functionality is a great new idea, which I haven't seen anywhere else yet, although it needs some work.
