CPUgenie 1.5 Requirements:

- Microsoft® Windows™ XP, Server 2003, Vista, Server 2008 or Later
- 32-bit and 64-bit Windows supported (separate downloads)
- Intel® Core™ 2 Duo / Core™ 2 Quad CPU required (including Pentium™ Dual Core)
- Minimum 16-bit (Hi Color) Graphic in 1024x768 screen resolution
- To install and use you need to have administrative permissions on the system


Feature Details:


Adjustable CPU speed management

Give priority to CPU speed or to lower temperature / longer power-on time on batteries. Four built-in profiles included (power saver, balanced, performance,  extreme performance) + optional fully manually customizable CPU policy. And,  not just that: while Windows™  power management is limited to what has been specified in your computer’s BIOS (so-called ACPI table), CPUgenie can unlock the full potential of your CPU by using even more speed steps than specified in the ACPI tables of your computer’s BIOS!





Per-Application Acceleration

Accelerate individual applications by making CPU operate at maximum speed during the time they are running (ideal for e.g. gaming and maxing-out the FPS). Or, reduce unnecessary heat / power drainage by forcing CPU to minimal speeds if certain applications are running! Per-Application rules are fully flexible and customizable, in order to meet your needs better!




GreenVoltage™ Undervolting Made Easy!

Did you know that your CPU can most likely run stable with lower voltages and power draw than its factory defaults?  Sure, but it requires “hacking” and manual testing prone to errors and crashes? Not anymore! CPUgenie is equipped with Voltage Optimization Wizard which can perform all the hard work of finding lowest stable voltages for you!  Just leave it ON overnight or over weekend and get ready for cooler computing!


Here is what GreenVoltage™ Voltage Optimization Wizard did to Sony® Vaio™ Z notebook’s CPU voltages (Intel Core 2 Duo P8600):

9.0x2400 MHz1.137V0.987V87°C61°C26°C



Voltage Optimization Wizard checks each voltage for stability by subjecting the CPU to extreme stress test that is designed to “torture” the CPU so that errors/instabilities that would go unnoticed get detected.



Powerful Monitoring

CPUgenie’s “Power Monitor” allow you to monitor important events that have influence on system power consumption and processing power:

- CPU frequency / load
- CPU voltage
- CPU temperature
- Per-Application CPU usage
- CPU Power State Statistics
- ACPI information related to Power States




Manual Undervolting and P-State edits, for Pros!

Of course, we did not forget the advanced users – with CPUgenie you can manually tweak power states and voltages for your CPU and also customize your settings for running on batteries and running on AC-power separately.




Stress Testing for Ensuring Computing Stability

CPUgenie relies on extremely complex math. calculations for achieving maximum reliability in CPU stability testing. You can use the built-in stress tester with automatic temperature monitoring for your own CPU performance tweaks. CPUgenie test has automatic temperature monitoring and display + preventive software break in case that CPU temperature approaches dangerous levels (NOTE: this is not, by any means, replacement for good CPU cooling! Do not stress-test your CPU if the cooling apparatus is not able to prevent it from overheating! Consult with the CPU vendor documentation about acceptable temperatures and guidelines on thermal design.).
