I'm having the same problem as an earlier user where after running the torture test the CPU is still running at 50% speed, but it did run at 100% earlier. Someone mentioned not to select "Run HLT command when the system is idle", except I can't even find this on RMclock.

Although the percentages of CPU load is correct, because it goes up when I begin stress test, the speed maintains itself at half my cpu speed.

I apologize if someone already addressed this problem, but I find looking through 34 pages something very unlikely.

I have gotten my CPU down to min: 0.732v and max 1.004v!

I also noticed that some people use CHC and it looks much more user friendly than RMclock. Should I use this one and if I should, where can I find a tutorial for it?

A big thanks to anyone who can help me out, I really appreciate it.

Its really straightforward. I didn't need a guide. Just gradually drop your voltage to find the lowest stable one (or slightly higher than that).

That's sounds exactly like you're using an 800MHz CPU instead of its full clock, check your settings. You have to create a full-speed setting in the PST panel because the program itself only creates an 800MHz setting.

without a doubt it should, obviously something is not set properly...

might wann search the official RMClock thread.

a lotta people are havin' probs with RMClock... i believe that one of the reasons for this is that a new version has been released (v1.6) and the instructions for it are different...

the new version is much more solid (bug free) for the Pentium M in particular...

so if you're not runnin' the NEW version, i'd advise you to do so...

the only instructions i'm aware of on this site are for the OLD version, except for some of the posts in this thread...

hmm... I think there needs to be a a few things updated for 1.6v, here goes:

First off, go to the general tab and select whatever functions you want on the bottom, but make sure that you select "restore CPU defaults on exit" in case something messes up, then you can just exit . Then, under the management tab, select use p-state transition. In the white box right below that there should be two (you'll probably have to create at least one). The first should be State No. 0, with an FID of 5x (or whatever your lowest is) and a voltage of 0.998v (or w/e it is stock on your lap top). This is the 800MHz power saving setting for the new P-Ms. The other should be State No. 1, with your max FID (mine is 15x) and your stock full voltage (mine is 1.356v).
Make sure that your A/C adaptor is plugged in, then go down to AC profile and select "maximal" from the drop down box. Get Prime 95 started and calculating (Large FFTs work best for a test). Also make sure that you select "Use OS-based load management" (same as run HLT etc.). From here go back to your P state transitions box and click on the max setting (the one with your highest multiplier) and modify the voltage going to it. I took it down 3 steps at a time until I got to about 1.15 and then I went down one at a time from there. Make sure you hit apply on the bottom of the management tab after each voltage change. You can also use CPU-z to vertify the voltage change. If you're pin-modded you may need to stop sooner because your CPU will require more juice. Keep lowering it until you get an error, then raise it and prime test. Anything higher than 8 hours means you're rock solid. I got an instant error at 1.054, but I run 1.1v just for the extra stability (10hrs+ stable).
Once that has been tested, go back to the management tab and under AC profile select "minimal". This will use your 800MHz CPU (or whatever your lowest multi is) setting. The odd case here is that now you will load at this speed, which will never happen in "real-world," the CPU is only at 800MHz when it's idle. In the same way drop your voltage down (remember to hit apply). I think almost every CPU can do .75v, and most can do .700v, but test and test again. After that let prime95 run for 3 hours or so, which is more than enough because the CPU will never be loaded at this state.
Ta-da, you're done. Just make sure you go to management and select "Automatic Management" under your AC Profile. Also under you General tab select "state minimized" and "run automatically at start up," but make sure you keep "restore defaults upon exit" just in case something ever glitches on your. Have fun and rock on

oh i forgot to mention that some people are runnin' CHC, which is fine but understand that the GPU part of it is only for ATI cards NOT for the nVidia... so if you use it and have a nVidia card, only the fan control portion will work for you...

Read your mind Tar heel guy, see above

Thank you guys so much, I really really appreciate the help!!! You guys kick ass!

anyone have temps for there 700m, I just got it today and my temps are up to 75C full load 1.8ghz even my idle at 600 doesn;t get under 50

lol good timin'... your post was really needed, thx...:-)

i would like to clarify two things though...

first, my 'puter spends a lotta time @ 800MHz (i have the M770 2.13GHz in my XPS)... when just doin' regular stuff, outlook, several word docs, a dozen web sites, dreamweaver, photoshop w/ small images <400 MB, and several other apps... it jumps up when needed but mostly hangs @ 800...

also, dependin' on what you're doin', the Torture Test may not be enough to guarantee your stability... i ran it for many hours then i kept it runnin' while doin' my regular work for several days... even after doin' all that several weeks later it crashed... so you might wanna set it up an extra notch or two... it's a very small increase in voltage for a lotta insurance...

btw, i'm not a gamer, but a pgmr/analyst, artist, graphic artist, etc.

my M770's min is .716 and max is 1.100... but just like 3Dmark05 your milage may vary...:-)

FAn control doesn't work on my 8600. I use i8kFan for that though.
