Overclocking My m6811

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Just tinkering around with the clocks and memorty timings lately. On my m6811, I had an m6809 with cracked hinges that that best buy warranty replaced for this guy. I overclocked this puppy to 2.4 Ghz and have the memory running at 200 under normal clocks and 218 overclocked. I raised the VID to 1.425 from 1.4 since I figure 1.5 is stock for a desktop 3400+. My temps measure in at about 48C on the back grill. It's been running Prime95 rock sold for a few hours now. My video card maxes out at 450/230 to be Doom3 artifact free, but I keep it at 425/210 usual just to be safe. I also have the hitachi 7200rpm 60gig in it.

I get 38 sec superpi times with an old partition of Windows with 200megs left on the HD. You could say I'm blown away by the performance!

P.S. I have cracked hinges on this baby, since I have the best buy 3yr warranty I can bring it in and have it exchanged for a new m6811 or an upgraded model if they don't have the m6811s in stock. You could say I'm waiting to bring this guy in for an exchange as soon as the m6812 or m6813 comes by. God bless the Best Buy warrenty.

Serbianem, I agree with you about trading up as soon as the next 68xx comes out. My new 6811 is cracked but I'd rather wait to upgrade it rather than send it back in to emachines. I'm sure glad I picked up that BB service plan.

For the overclocking tools i used: A64tweaker to change my frequencey to 200mhz (gigantic speed boost imho). 2t timing disabled and tras to 6 from 7.
i used clock gen to overclock the processor. I couldn't change the cas latency on the laptop for some reason, it kept freezing, but everything else worked fine. The only thing you have to be careful of is the agp and pci clocks. The motherboard doesn't have locks built in, the processor may be screaming to go higher, but you could end up corrupting data on the hard drive or frying your motherboard. I lucked out with this laptop apparently, I haven't had a single problem running oc'd. Oh, almost forget, to use the a64tweaker, set your multiplier in clockgen to 4 temporarily while changing your memory settings, then change it back to 11 when you are done. I'm trying to make a .bat that will run the files for me in a64tweaker and clockgen when I boot up the system so i run clockgen to set the multi at 4 first, then run the a64tweaker config, then put the multi back to 11 and adjust the clock speed and VID. (a64tweaker messes up the system unless the multi is set to 4).

And about the best buy warranty, I was skeptical about getting it at first, but I now realized that it really pays of for a laptop. It's not like a desktop where individual parts malfunction and can be rma'd. It's better to deal with best buy and lose the hassle. And as far as I'm concerned, they already sold me two defective laptops, getting an upgraded model legally isn't wrong.

well but which version of clockgen I should use ???
post #7 of 7
maybe not the version that they used when they posted this a year ago, thats probably a given

(dont ask me I don't OC. also, dont go bumping up old threads)
