Intel processor acceleration. Theory and practice

Every year we produce all new and new games with cool graphics, super effects and thousands of fans. But not everyone can do the computer's upgrade every time each. But so I want the long-awaited gaming novelty to slow down, so that it is possible to play at maximum settings with faded and colorful effects, completely immersed in the gameplay with incredible graphics.

In the above case, the so-called gamers for gamers - software for overclocking a computer, namely video cards, processors and in general to optimize the system. These utilities find a rational approach to the computer resource section, and some even allow you to emulate a more powerful video card, thanks to which you can run some games that did not want to work before.

In addition, the gamers and everyone can use programs that provide information about computer resources. With the help of them, you can learn almost all the information about the installed components: model of motherboard, RAM modules, processor and many other gland parameters, including software.

Usually programs for overclocking the computer increase its speed by increasing the clock frequency of central and graphics processors and an increase in the supply voltage. It is necessary with caution, because with an increase in the capacities of a stationary machine or a laptop, the temperature of many elements increases. Therefore, the main thing here is not to overdo it and be sure that your power supply or cooling system will cope with the load, because it is possible to fix a laptop or computer, but it takes you time and money.

You can do without using programs for overclocking the computer by changing the settings in the BIOS motherboard and the video card. But if you have never come across this, it is better to neglect this way. Due to the complexity of this method, we will not dwell on it, and we turn directly to the description of the programs for gamers and accelerate the computer.

In addition to the basic functions of overclocking components of a computer, program-optimizers may contain various tools to improve the performance of the operating system by releasing the memory, defragmentation of hard drives, disconnecting, unnecessary during the game, smoothing Windows fonts, all sorts of widgets, etc. Thanks to this optimization, all resources Computer will be directed to work and performance of the necessary application, in our case on the game.

Razer Game Booster

Razer Game Booster is a powerful free program to optimize the operation of the operating system and increase the speed of the computer. Improving the performance of the game is achieved due to the temporary optimization of the OS, namely defragmentation of RAM, closing unnecessary during the game of background processes, Diagnostics DirectX and other processes.

This program for overclocking the computer does not climb the registry, does not speed up the operation of the iron and does not change the Windows settings. "What is she doing then?" - you ask. When you are going to play the long-awaited game, you must start the Game Booster before that and the utility with a slight movement of your hand will cleanse the system from unnecessary braking baggage. Upon completion of the program, everything will return to its place.

The program interface is quite simple and understandable. For the lazy, the Razer Game Booster has an excellent button that will make automatic optimization and will not make you yourself choose optimization settings. In just one click, your computer will be fully ready for the game, and if you wish, you can configure everything yourself.

If you need a computer overclocking, then you should download Razer Game Booster.

Game Fire

Modern games are quite demanding to system resources, and if there is still a significant consumption of resources to the operating system, the game can only work on low settings, or even work at all. Game Fire will help partially solve this problem.

Turning off unnecessary running services and visual Windows effects, it optimizes the operation of the system for the game. Thanks to this program to optimize, the system will not devour precious resources and they will all be directed only to the game. The utility is easy to learn, contains automatic shutdown by default. You can also manually specify which process you would like to disable.

You can download Game Fire for free.

Rivatuner

Rivatuner is perhaps one of the most popular utilities for overclocking and testing the performance of video cards from NVIDIA and AMD. It allows you to overclock the video card right through the iron or through the driver and finely adjust its operation.

From all available functions, you can select the following:

• working with the DIRECT3D and OpenGL video card driver,
• configure video mode and screen update frequency,
• adjustment of brightness, contrast and gamma,
• control of the fan settings on the video card,
• set the core frequency, memory and a shader block,
• providing a report on the characteristics of video cards, drivers, etc.,
• traffic tracking, video card voltage and cooling system.

The program has the ability to create profiles to start each application, there is a built-in driver setup database and a Windows registry editing tool.

The Rivatuner utility, first of all, is useful for the owner of the GeForce video cards, and the owners of ATI video cards are forced to use a program with limited functions.

You can download Rivatuner absolutely free and set up a video card in your pleasure.

EVGA Precision X.

EVGA Precision X is a very convenient program for overclocking video cards based on NVIDIA. Unlike Rivatuner, this program is not overloaded with different settings and can be used as its simplified alternative.

Despite its low weight and simplicity, it can still become a powerful tool for overclocking video cards. Among the functions of the utility to optimize the video card, the following can be noted:

• control of the memory frequency, kernel and a shader block,
• control fans in automatic and manual mode,
• creating profiles up to 10 pieces with hot keys for each,
• view temperature in the tray, creating screenshots of the game and much more.

EVGA Precision X is a free tool for overclocking your video card.

You can download EVGA Precision X for Windows-based computers.

3D-Analyze

3D-Analyze has not been updated, but a very useful program that is intended to run new games and applications on old video cards.

The program is able to emulate the settings and parameters of new video cards (for example, support for pixel shaders), or quite "pretending" to a specific video card model. The utility does not require installation.

For the performance of a new game, you need to run the 3D-Analyze program, select the executable game file (usually extended EXE or BAT) and try to set the desired settings in the program window.

In subsequent settings, the settings do not have to be renovated, as the program changes the original game file.

By the way, if you won't make any specific settings, we can again take advantage of this program for setting optimal characteristics.

PowerStrip.

PowerStrip - is one of the most popular programs that allow working with video mode and video cards. The program supports almost any video cards and is able to impregnively increase their productivity.

With it, you can switch the screen resolution, change the color palette, contrast, brightness, flicker frequency, etc. In addition, you can assign individual settings in addition to different programs and assign hot keys to replace different parameters.

Download PowerStrip - program to optimize working with video cards.

We draw your attention again, incorrect work with a computer acceleration and, in particular, video cards can lead to a sad outcome. Therefore, try to do without excessive overload of computer components.

Despite the fact that some sources offer download special programs for overclocking different types of processors (Intel or AMD), it is more correct to raise the CPU clock frequency through the BIOS. Verified software that could disperse the processor does not exist. This is due to the technical limitations and the fact that for each stone there are its frequency increases. They may vary depending on the type of cooling used. We recommend finding a permissible load for the installed chip model and gradually change the values \u200b\u200busing the instruction written specifically for your BIOS version.

Excess of the maximum permissible overclocking threshold can lead to equipment breakdown.

Programs for overclocking video cards

Programs for overclocking video cards will help change the main performance indicators on the hardware graphics card of your PC or laptop - voltage, permissible temperature, frequency of the processor and adapter memory, as well as the speed of rotation of the cooler. In addition to editing parameters, these utilities allow you to view basic information about installed equipment.

We focus on the fact that such programs should be applied with external graphics devices that are not integrated into the processor or motherboard. Only in this case can you get a measurable effect from changing settings.

Among the proposed tools, we highlight primarily due to compatibility with the largest number of devices.

Programs for overclocking RAM (RAM)

As in the case of a processor, there are no stable utilities that will be able to change the frequency of operations using the operating system. Edit these parameters is needed via Bios, moreover, it is important that the new frequency is supported not only by memory, but also the motherboard. Read the instructions for changing frequencies in the user manual for your motherboard.

You can find the opinion that there are programs for overclocking the RAM of "old" samples (DDR) on laptops, however, we failed to find work versions of such utilities.

Programs to improve disks

The main factors affecting the speed of hard drives is its current state and file placement scheme.

Check the current state by s.m.a.r.t.-analysis and, if necessary, "correctly", format the device using the HDD LOW LEVEL Format Tool utility, it gained most of the bulk in our thematic.

In addition, the speed of classical hard drives depends on how uniformly distributed data on the surface. Many different system utilities contain the function of structuring files (defragmentation). Among the specialized solutions to highlight and.

Windows optimization programs

Utilities that will help optimize the operating system, we have previously been considered in a separate one.

Other factors affecting performance

If you use external devices, do not forget that the data exchange rate depends on the protocol used. For example, modern phones and flash drives are better to connect to a USB port, which is compatible with the 3.0 protocol, it has blue.

Also, do not forget that due to the presence of a malicious software, it can noticeably "slow down". To protect the system, we recommend using antivirus programs, we also devoted separately.

The acceleration of the processor is an easy thing, but requires certain knowledge and caution. A competent approach to this occupation allows you to get a good productivity growth, which is sometimes very lacking. In some cases, you can dispersed the processor through the BIOS, but if this possibility is missing or you want to carry out manipulation directly from under Windows, it is better to use special software.

One of the simple and universal programs is SetFSB. It is good because with its help you can overclock the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and the old models similar to it, as well as various modern processors. The principle of operation of this program is simple - it increases the frequency of the system tire, affecting the PLL chip installed in the motherboard. Accordingly, everything that is required of you is to know the brand of your board and check whether it enters the list of supported.

First you need to find out the name of the motherboard. If you do not own such data, then use special software, for example, the CPU-Z program.

After you have determined the boards, go on. Registration there, to put it mildly, not from the best, but all the necessary information is here. If the board is in the list of supported, then you can gladly continue further.

Body features

The latest versions of this program, unfortunately, paid for the Russian-speaking population. It is necessary to make approximately $ 6 to get the code for activation.

There is an alternative - to download the old version of the program, recommend version 2.2.129.95. This can be done, for example.

Installing the program and preparation for overclocking

The program works without installation. After starting, this window will appear before you.

To start overclocking, you must first find out your clock generator (PLL). Unfortunately, it is not so easy to find out. Computer holders can disassemble the system unit and find the necessary information manually. This data looks like this:

Methods of software identification PLL chip

If you have a laptop or you do not want to disassemble the PC, that is, two more ways to find out your PLL.

1. Go and look for your laptop in the table.
2. The SETFSB program will help identify the PLL chip firm itself.

Let us dwell on the consideration of the second method. Switch to the " Diagnosis", In the drop-down list" Clock generator.»Select" Pll Diagnosis", Then click on the" button " Get FSB.».

Surrence below, in the field " Pll Control Registers."And we see a table there. We are looking for column 07 (this is Vendor ID) and look at the value of the first line:

If the value equals he - then the PLL from RealTek, for example, RTM520-39D;
If the value equals x1, the PLL from IDT, for example, ICS952703BF;
If the value is x6 - then the PLL from SILEGO, for example, SLG505YC56DT;
If the value equals x8, the PLL from Silicon Labs, for example, CY28341OC-3.

x - any number.

Sometimes exceptions are possible, for example, for chips from Silicon Labs - in this case, VENDOR ID will be located not in the seventh pate (07), but in the sixth (06).

Check protection against program acceleration

Find out whether there is a hardware protection against program acceleration, so possible:

We look in the field " Pll Control Registers.»On column 09 and click on the value of the first line;
We look in the field " Bin."And we find the sixth bits in this regard. Please note that the count count must begin with the unit! Therefore, if the first bit is zero, then the sixth bit will be the seventh digit;
If the sixth bit is 1 - then for overclocking via SETFSB, you need a PLL hardware mode (TME-MOD);
If the sixth bit equals 0 - then the hardware mod is not required.

Start overclocking

All work with the program will occur in the "tab" Control" In field " Clock generator.»Select your chip, and then click on" Get FSB.».

At the bottom of the window, on the right, you will see the current frequency of the processor.

We remind you, acceleration is carried out by increasing the frequency of the system tire. This happens every time you move the central slider to the right. All other posts leave as it is.

If you need to increase the range for adjustment, then set the checkbox next to the parameter " Ultra».

Increase the frequency is best careful, 10-15 MHz at a time.

After adjustment, press the "SETFSB" key.

If after that your PC hung or turned off, then the reasons for that two: 1) you indicated the wrong PLL; 2) increased the frequency. Well, if everything was done correctly, the processor frequency will rise.

What to do after overclocking?

We need to know how stable the computer works at the new frequency. This can be done, for example, in games or specialized programs for tests (PRIME95 or other). Also follow the temperature, in order to avoid possible overheating when the processor is loaded. In parallel with the tests, run the temperature monitor program (CPU-Z, HWMONITOR or other). Tests are best to spend about 10-15 minutes. If everything works stably, then you can stay at a new frequency or continue to increase it by performing all the above actions on a new circle.

How to make a PC run with a new frequency?

You should already be known, the program works with a new frequency only before rebooting. Therefore, that the computer always started with the new system tire frequency, you must install the program in the startup. This is a prerequisite if you want to enjoy an overclocked computer on an ongoing basis. However, in this case, it will not be about simple adding the program to the "Auto-loading" folder. There is a way for this - the creation of a BAT script.

Opens Notebook", Where we will create a script. We write there a string, approximately such:

C: \\ Desktop \\ SetFSB 2.2.129.95 \\ setfsb.exe -w15 -S668 -CG

ATTENTION! Do not copy this line! It should have another!

So, we disassemble it:

C: \\ desktop \\ setfsb 2.2.129.95 \\ setfsb.exe is the path to the utility itself. You can distinguish the location and version of the program!
-W15 - delay before starting the program (measured in seconds).
-S668 - Admission setting. Your digit will be different! To find out her, look at the green field in the Control program tab. There will be two numbers through the slash. Take the first number.
-CG - model of your PLL. You may have this data! In square brackets, you need to enter the model of your pll as it is specified in the SetFSB.

By the way, along with the SETFSB itself you will find the setfsb.txt text file, where you can find other parameters and apply them if necessary.

After the string was created, save the file as .Bat.

The last step is to add a bat in the startup by moving the shortcut in the "" folder or through the registry editor (this method you will find on the Internet).

Today we will talk about the acceleration of Intel processors and consider in detail the program with which it will make it easier. But, at the beginning, we will find out what acceleration (from the English Overclocking) of the processor, why is it generally needed and what consequences of overclocking are expected to be further. People engaged in overclocking are called overwhere.

Conditionally all overwhere divide into three categories

1. The first type is novice and economical overwhere. In order to save money, they wish to obtain maximum performance, while spending as little as possible of money. Build a computer at the same time comes from not the most expensive components that are probably obsessive. In general, buy something that is enough money. Naturally, the performance of such a computer system is far from the desired level. Therefore, the owners of such equipment and begin to engage in the processor acceleration in order to at least increase the speed of their PC.
2. The second type includes the so-called experienced overwhere. Their goal is to obtain maximum performance and pleasure from the process of overclocking, without spending unnecessary means. Experienced overwhere still at the purchase stage is not the most cheap equipment try to choose it with the calculation of further upgrade. They thoughtfully approach the choice of each component of their future computer. If the motherboard is, it should have ample opportunities to support various components, if the processor is necessarily the ability to overclock it, etc. As a result, very often such systems after the overclocking have at least comparable speed with top computers operating in nominal mode. But often in such productivity there is no vital necessity, and overwhere just likes to enjoy the perfectly performed work.
3. Third type of overlocer, these are overclockers - extremes. For them, the purpose of overclocking is the highest possible performance by any means and regardless of the price. They are in constant search for senior models, the most powerful components, reaching extreme-low temperatures, etc. The main thing for them is to obtain a system with parameters that are inacked most PC users.

Of course, such a division is conditional and clear boundaries between overlooks. Beginners with time are transferred to a group of experienced, experienced in the presence of desire and opportunities become extremes. But, one way or another, they all started from something, and any serious case is preceded by theoretical preparation. So we first will take a few theory of acceleration of the processor.

Collect information about the system

Before proceeding to the acceleration of the processor, it is necessary to have an idea what you are dealing with. First you need to study your system. Determine all components components, learn the manual to the motherboard, use information and diagnostic utilities, carry out performance testing, select the maxima and temperature minima at various loads of the system, etc. After overclocking the processor, you can compare the data obtained with the indicators that the system has before increasing the processor frequency. To all of the time, using preliminary tests, you can make sure that the system functions stable at rated frequency and voltage.

Required programs

Both, so and during overclocking, you will need special programs and utilities. Again, conditionally they are divided into several categories: programs for diagnostics, monitoring, acceleration, checking the stability of the system and utilities for measuring performance.

In real life, clear boundaries between these categories are very blurred. Using diagnostic programs, it is possible to measure performance, and utilities intended for monitoring are capable of overclocking the processor. It is simply for each program there is a main direction for which it is suitable for optimally and several auxiliary non-core functions.

Informational diagnostic software is intended primarily to determine the configuration of your system. The most powerful and functional of them are Lavalys Everest and Sisoftware Sandra.

But these packages are not limited solely by defining the system configuration. These software complexes are able to monitor, measure performance, as well as testing the stability of the computer. However, the use of such programs is not always justified immediately for all directions, especially since they are paid for, and only part of the possibilities are available in free packages. Similar bulky programs can be replaced by less well-known, but from this no less effective utilities. For example, the CPU-Z utility can be enjoyed with great popularity among overloquers, capable of reporting information both about the processor itself and about the motherboard and RAM. To carry out detailed control and manage memory timings, you can use a small MEMSET program.

To overclock the processor, the best option will be the use of BIOS. But, unfortunately, the manufacturers of computers do not always provide a similar opportunity. In this case, you can use the universal setfsb utility, which we will consider more than later. In addition, you should always get acquainted with the contents of the CD-disk, which is complete with the motherboard. Often, manufacturers are supplied with the software driver drivers, which have the ability to overclock the processor from Windows.

One important truth should always be remembered: none of the existing programs for overclocking processors can give you a warranty 100%. But the chances will increase significantly if you will use several different utilities for overclocking, monitoring and testing. Check the stability of the system will help OCCT or S & M utilities.

To measure the performance of the system, no hundred special programs are written. Such utilities are tested or the system as a whole or its components separately. An example is simple, but the functional program can serve Novabench.

Basics of overclocking processors

Acceleration is the forced operation of the processor at frequencies exceeding the nominal frequency. The reasons why overclocking in general, may be different. This reason may be a large margin of storage in the architecture of the processor or some marketing moves. This is not so important, the main thing is to skillfully use the opportunities provided.

Despite the huge variety of computer components inside the PC, everything is largely standardized. This is caused by the need to synchronize components from different manufacturers. The starting point serves the frequency of the -FSB system bus. At the same time, various tires on the motherboard (channels) that bind various components of the board, have a frequency of transmitting information less than FSB. Therefore, when specifying their nominal frequencies, dividers are used. But so modern processors have a markedly greater frequency, so that it is able to work at its nominal frequency, multipliers are applied.

Let us give an example. The operation of the Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 processor is carried out at a tire frequency of 266 MHz. His multiplier is x7. The FSB frequency product on this multiplier will give the final frequency of the processor of 1.86 GHz. Therefore, to perform the processor acceleration, it is necessary to either increase the FSB frequency or the multiplier.

More than senior models of modern processors are characterized by free factors. But such processors have a high cost, which may be an order of magnitude higher than that of the younger processors of the family. Therefore, the acquisition of such processors is not entirely rational, since with the help of overclocking, it is possible to achieve the performance of junior processors comparable to the performance of senior fellow.

Therefore, overclocking any processor is usually an increase in FSB frequency. If you take an Intel Core 2 Duo processor acceleration as an example, then with an increase in the bus frequency up to 400 MHz, the processor frequency can increase to 2.8 GHz. If we increase FSB to 500, then in this case the processor frequency will already be 3.5 GHz. This information is the main and knowing them already, you can go to the BIOS and start increasing the frequency of FSB, thereby dispersing your processor. But still before the start of overclocking, some preparatory work should be held, which we will consider below.

Preparatory stage

Before you begin overclocking the processor, you have to make a couple of mandatory steps. The first thing should go to the manufacturer's website of your motherboard and check whether the more fresh version of the BIOS is not posted. There are many cases when there are absolutely unsuccessful system boards after updating BIOS acquired the second life in the literal sense. In addition, the update version can not only correct the resulting errors, but also make new parameters and capabilities in the BIOS fees. You can find out which version of the BIOS you use at the moment you can during the start of the motherboard. If the information appears at a very short period of time and you do not have time to read it, then in this case, press the PAUSE key on your keyboard. The BIOS version can also be seen with the help of information and diagnostic utilities. Of course, not in all cases the new version of the BIOS is better suited for overclocking than the old one, however, in the new version, at least eliminated errors of early versions.

Intel Core Processor Nuances

A characteristic feature of all processors having microarchitecture Core is high performance. Since they perfectly accelerate, pay special attention to them.

Core processors In addition to a large number of advantages, there are also a number of deficiencies inherent in them, which still complicate the process of overclocking. Such processors have their own feature - the so-called FSB Wall. This concept describes the maximum tire clock frequency at which this processor can work. By reducing the multiplier to X6, you can find out at what maximum frequency of the tire your instance will be able to work.

By the word, a processor having a nominal frequency of 200 MHz bus is almost never accelerated to a frequency exceeding 400 MHz FSB. This factor should be considered by choosing the Core series processor. Why pay for the processor of an older ruler, if much cheaper and easier to make an overclocking of the younger processor. At the same time, it is necessary to remember that the younger CPUs having a nominal multiplier X8 will most likely restriction due to FSB Wall, and on this frequency after overclocking will not be able to go above 3.2 GHz. Therefore, in order not to limit yourself in advance at the maximum possible frequency, when buying, pay attention to processors that have a multiplier X9.

Processors having a nominal frequency of the tire 266 or 333 MHz are also selected junior and having a multiplier X7. But here, in addition to the notorious FSB Wall, acceleration can be complicated in the addition of motherboard and RAM capabilities. Such processors also have to choose with a multiplier X8 and higher. However, and here Overlokers will notice a new danger - FSB Strap.

FSB Strap, a parameter that characterizes the processor itself, and the chipset and motherboard. This is the frequency of switching the modes of the chipset. For example, after overclocking the processor, the performance of systems built on the Gigabyte motherboard and the Intel P965 EXPRESS chipset immediately falls. But the motherboard from the ASUS manufacturer, built on the same chipset, shows high performance even by 400 MHz. When testing the ASUS Striker Extreme motherboard with the NVIDIA NForce 680i SLI chipset, the performance fell during the transition from the frequency FSB 420 MHz to 425 MHz.

Acceleration of the processor using the SETFSB program

Now that the theoretical part is behind, we can start overclocking the Intel processor. As an example, take a very popular and efficient SETFSB program.

After starting the utility, your screen should appear on the screen.

At the very beginning you choose the PLL chip. Which chip is installed with you can either visually on the motherboard or with the help of special utilities. You can happen that your chip will not be on the list, then you will have to search other utilities that support and your type of chip. In the extreme case, you can refer to the author of this utility and ask to add the chip to the program. But this procedure will take a lot of time and is not the fact that the developer will generally respond to your request.

After you chose your chip, press the GET FSB button.

In the window, various frequency values \u200b\u200bare displayed, including the frequency on which the processor is currently running. The current frequency is selected in the Current CPU FREQUENCY window. In our case, this is the frequency of 1198.2 MHz.

We will overclock the processor, increasing the frequency of the system tire. To increase the named frequency, you need to move the slider, located in the center of the window, right. Tabs and sliders, which are located next to avoid unexpected problems better to leave as it is. If you want to increase the frequency adjustment range, check the left of the Ultra lettering, as shown in the previous figure.

Now I move the slider to the right. As a result, the frequency should increase by 10-15 MHz.

To make the changes you entered into force, you must press the SETFSB button.

If after you have pressed the SETFSB button, the computer hung or turned off, do not be afraid. This only means that you either indicated the wrong PLL, or very much influenced the frequency. After rebooting, everything will return to normal and you can make changes. If you did everything correctly, the value of the clock frequency of the processor will increase. We look at the drawing below.

In order to ensure that the computer's stable operation after overclocking is needed to test it with the help of the utility. We chose to preime95.

After starting the utility, press the JUST STRESS Testing button, as shown in the figure above. After your PC screen, such a window should be displayed:

Choose the third item and click OK. After that, the testing of your system should start.

If desired, simultaneously with the Preime95 utility you can run the HWMONITOR utility, which will control the temperature of your processor, as well as the other components during the passage of the test.

The Prime95 program has the ability to generate a serious load on the computer processor. Testing will be completed successfully if the processor for at least fifteen minutes will work stably and does not hang. After successful completion of testing, you can try to increase the frequency of the processor and start testing the system again.

If you want to interrupt the test earlier, you can do this using the menu, as shown in the figure below.

Raising the frequency and immediately checking the stability of the system using PRIME95 you can achieve maximum processor frequency at which it will work steadily over a large period of time at maximum loads. After all the manipulations with overclocking and defining the optimal frequency, you need to add the SETFSB program to autoload. Otherwise, all your changes will be lost after the first reboot of the PC.

First of all, create a BAT script. For what you need a regular standard notepad, in which you need to do approximately such entry:

c: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ setfsb 2.2.129.95 \\ setfsb.exe -w15 -S668 -CG

c: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ setfsb 2.2.129.95 \\ setfsb.exe - your path to the setfsb utility on your computer. Naturally, different users can differ.

w15 is this parameter you set the necessary delay before starting SETFSB. Time is indicated in seconds.

s668 - Record specifying overclocking. This parameter is very important. In the figure in our case, this figure is 668 (the first digit to the right of the slider, which is located in the green field)

cG)
