Laptop Undervolting Thread

[rodrigo207]

to whoever it might interest... it doesn´t work with the Intel Atom

Update:

This has been great on every laptop I've tried (4-5 or so), unfortunately, RMClockUtility doesn't work on my new netbook, its a Gateway LT3114u, equipped with an AMD Athlon 64 @ 1.2ghz.

Ok, I feel like i'm missing something,

Have tried with and without the "64bit" replacement file, but i'm on win 7 rc1, not sure if that applies...

Here are 2 ss's of it alllll open...

Screenie 1 = Nothing much goin on, hot as ever...

Screenie 2 = Uh... Sure, 1min... up almost 20celcius... 17min... or longer, not daring... as it goes up 1degree every 5-10 seconds... or more...

Aren't you getting high (5%) CPU usage for RMClock.exe in Tak Manager? That's too high considering this is just a small program, really.

[Le_Loup]

It normally isn't that high, just temp cause I had all those windows open, and my processor isn't the best in the world (compared to your sig of course).

But it's helped a bit, my cpu is maxing 55 - 56 now, instead of 65-75...

[kevindd992002]

That's weird, I have a Sager NP86600 with P9500 C2D and on Win7. It really reaches that high, that's why I'm planning to get rid of it.

Any workaround?

So I have a C2D T8100 2.1ghz processor in my Dell XPS 1330 laptop but when playing games it has caused thermal throttling after a while where I get unplayable frames (the 8400M GS goes above 90C and heats up the CPU quite a bit). Figured there was no way to undervolt my GPU so I decided to perform the famous copper mod: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=268081
(Still awaiting for the copper sheet to arrive...will perform the actual mod sometime this week). In the meantime, my friend bigal1542 has suggested to use RMClock to undervolt the CPU and linked me to this thread.

I followed the steps thoroughly but after I was done undervolting using RMClock, the multiplier would not go above the lowest (6x). That is to say, the CPU will never go above 1.26ghz even when I load the processors to the max with stress testing programs and games. I played around with RMClock settings and figured that disabling both my Thermal Monitors 1 and 2 solved this problem...now it will go to 2ghz with the undervolting in effect (managed to undervolt the 10x multiplier from 1.1375 to 1.0v). Bigal1542 told me that the Thermal Monitors were needed to ensure proper lowering of my temps...so my question is...what exactly are they and are they necessary for undervolting with RMClock?
