Madman helped me on this one

Download the driver and replace the file in the program files.

So, I checked everything out and I ran the X11 Multiplier at 0.95V and it passed orthos for 7 hours. All of the others I ran for an hour. It is the minimum voltage I can select for any of them, so it seems pretty pointless to work with other ones. Does anyone know if there is a way to make smaller voltages available in the program? Here is a screenie of what I am talking about.

Nice undervolt Glad to see the driver worked for you. I wish I could get mine to undervolt more than .025v but my AMD bsod's with anything less.

Can you send me the link to the 64 bit driver required? I will add it to the first post for future use.

Nevermind, I saw it was posted in his other post.

Maybe someone can help here. My wife complained of poor battery life on her hp nc6320 after installing vista, so I downloaded all the appropriate tools and set to undervolt the cpu.

To my surprise, this lappy runs incredibly hot! Idle is in the low 70's (opening a web browser shoots me into the 80's!). Anyway, I tried using rmclock to bring the juice down but it doesn't seem to be accepting the changes. Here's a screenie:

Are you making sure to set that profile to load on startup?

Yup, that's what I thought the problem was initially so I set to load on startup and restarted - no good. Any ideas?

EDIT: It appears that after two more restarts, its working well.
