Installing Epu-6 Engine on Windows 8 CP x64
Windows 8 CP 64-bit | 07-03-2012
Yes, I made it and it works!
I used version 1.03.04 from here but this solution should work for other versions of Epu-6 Engine and TurboV.
Now after windows restart you should have working Epu-6 Engine. Overclocking, declocking and especially fans speed control works very well.
Edit: According to HRC and beck comments below doing this tip with 2-3-4-1 step sequence in some cases can give better results
I used version 1.03.04 from here but this solution should work for other versions of Epu-6 Engine and TurboV.
- After unzip run Setup.exe as administrator in compatibility mode for Windows 98 / ME (all other options will end up with failure)
- Unfortunately setup won't install all necessary components so we must do it manually. Go into "Io" folder and run AsIoIns.exe as administrator in compatibility mode for Windows 98 / ME. To be sure it installed proper driver you can also run it in compatibility mode for Windows 7
- Next go to AsSysCtrlService folder and run AsSysCtrlSrvcIns.exe and AsSysCtrlService.exe in compatibility mode for Windows 98 and then for Windows 7 as administrator.
- YOUR WINDOWS WILL RESTART AUTOMATICALLY WITHOUT PROMPT AFTER THIS STEP SO SAVE ALL YOUR WORK! From Acpi64 folder (Acpi for x32 windows version) run AsAcpiIns.exe in compatibility mode for Windows 98 and then for Windows 7 as administrator
Now after windows restart you should have working Epu-6 Engine. Overclocking, declocking and especially fans speed control works very well.

| Content | Make sure you run Setup.exe in compatibility mode for Windows 98. Only Windows 98 Compatibility mode is correct. |

| Content | Have you installed AsIoIns.exe from Io directory in compatibility mode for Windows 98 / Me? If you have chosen other compatibility mode it won't work and such error can occur. You can also try steps 2 and 3 with compatibility mode for windows 95. |

| Content | MB-Asus M4A88TD-V USB3 w/AMD Phenom II X6 1090T proc. Dual boot Windows 8 x64 CP and Win XP64 SP2 Followed your steps, but the installer setup.exe would not work in x64, and no choice for run as win98 compatible. (only for 32 bit win 8) I followed your other steps using xp compatibility, which installed the necessary local dlls, and now I can run the EPU program directly from the XP64 partition on the harddrive. Works perfect, shows on the taskbar, and I pinned it to startup. I hope this trick will help others with 64 bit boards. |
