Central Brain Identifier is designed to provide detailed identification and obtaining the most complete information about all AMD processors. It recognizes more than 50 various models of the AMD processors.
It shows not only the general information about the processor, but also allows to determine its important technical features, such as processor core name, core revision, a nominal processor frequency, the date of announce, an OPN number, the components of the PowerNow! Technology and also independently computes an XP-Rating for processors having a Model Number.
The program is capable to detect the core voltage of mobile AMD processors and the newest AMD Athlon 64 processor. Advanced recognition methods can accurately determine mobile, desktop and server variants of the AMD processors.
The power diagnostic capabilities provide the most complete information about the processor cache.
The program incorporates tweak features such as processor name modification, L1 Cache ECC control and Clock Control Register correction and DRAM timing control. Central Brain Identifier is aggressively aimed to compete with well-known processor diagnostic tools.

What’s New in Release 3:
The latest version includes a lot of optimizations for the proper identification of the AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor. Now CBId reports technical information in accordance with an official technical specification on Athlon 64 X2. Besides, CBId is capable to fully recognize the AMD Sempron 2500+ Family 15 processor. Eliminated error in previous build 0424 as to P-Rating calculation for the AMD64 processors.
I havent compared the two head-to-head. However i’ve been using CPU-MSR on a laptop for the same reasons as you. Today just tried out CBID (not on the laptop) and it looks to be pretty much the same concept
i dont use cool n quiet. i want to use it to overclock. heh. since i cant change the multiplier in the bios cause its not there. whenever i go over 220fsb it reboots in xp loading screen
Chaos is right, you can only use multipliers lower than the default multiplier. The higher multipliers are not accessible.
The Asus K8V-X mobo uses a K8T800 non-pro chipset which doesnt have PCI/AGP locks, hence once you go over 220FSB your devices on the PCI bus are strained and most probably are the reason for the reboot.
