Looksie what I found out about the 9860. Anyone one for a 4.1ghz laptop?

Thread Starter 



Using Clockgen for the ICS954119 (the 9860's clock generator), you can manipulate the front side bus of the laptop. Results may vary. There is no bus locks or mem speed/divider options, so you will not get very high, I lock hard with just 1 single mhz higher fsb on my system, but some people may get a little more. WIth the fsb set to 215, I can run all day long tough and demanding games like EQ2, Painkiller and the like. I tested all night at work last night, and there is, at least on my machine, no change in fan frequency, speed or heat output. This is pretty much along the lines of manipulating your video card's clock speed. You will either hard lock (99% of the time) or drop out of games or reboot etc. I am not sure with this laptop, but in my many years of overclocking, not being able to lock the mem/graphics card slot bus speed or pci bus speeds, you can run the risk of corrupting hard drive data (no, not ruining it, just corruption leading to a reformat). So be carefull, and have fun. If your not hurting for speed like me, you probably will not up your chip, but it was neato to find out that the power supply, mainboard and heatsink will have some good life for future processor upgrades. ~8)

That is truly awesome, thank you Spires - I just tried it on my 9860 which has a P4 HT(560) - it wouldn't go any higher than 217.90MHz FSB so I settled on 217.01MHz for a CPU speed of 3,906MHz... WOOOOT! I then configured a startup script to run ClockGen silently at logon, I couldn't get this to work with the FSB setting of 217.01MHz so I settled on 212MHz instead which gets me 3,816MHz on startup - I can then run ClockGen manually and set the FSB to 217.01MHz if I really want the extra speed for something.

MotherBoard

Hey,

WHat motherboard is in the Sager 9860? I am looking at downloading ClockGen

http://www.cpuid.com/clockgen.php

TIA

ASUS P5GDx, you want the CG-ICS954119 link on the download page.

After further testing I've settled on a scripted FSB speed of 215MHz as the highest stable overclock I can achieve, this gives me a CPU speed of 3,870MHz which I'm more than happy with!

Thanks

I will post what the outcome is.

uiiii yeah, im wondering why alienware doesnt do this as a factory standart? maybe the threadcreater is more intellegent?

mmm voiding your warrenty.....

anyone know what the motherboard for the 8890 is..i tried the 56XX motherboard in clockgen and it worked...but i'm not sure its doing right
post #10 of 20
oh, by the way, I used the CG-ICS952607 clockgen for the 8890

did any else try this oc? any more info anyone can offer?

I have been running my 3.8 at 4ghz since I owned this machine. So I'm pretty sure it's safe.
post #15 of 20
anyone try ocing a p4 3.4 on the 9860? if so how much did u crank out of it? i'm at 3.63 but am very hesitant of going higher!
post #16 of 20
Hey AndrePeterHill.I run my 3,6 at 3,8 too..and runs fine.But to your GPU. I cant run it so high like you 256Mb DDR2 Geforce Go 6800 361/691MHz (GPU/Memory)

If i go to this settings i had in Ati Tools (the 3d object,yes its a good test programm) errors with the Graphics,or my screen are getting dark after some time.. Do you run this settings all time??

One thing is that how about the P4 EM64 will be overclocked ? it's the same thing,right ?
1-Isnt the EM64 more overclockable ?
2-Is any1 here tried oc'ing the 3.4GHZ EM64 ? and what were the results ?
3-it won't do any harm to the speestep as the higher frequency will mean distortion in changinf of the GHZ wen on battery ? like instead of going to 1.8 might go to 3.0GHZ ?

a bit of newby oc'ing questions...

hey can anyone tell me how to write The "ghost" mode file? and anything else i have to do like where i should have the clock gen folder and the .bat file should be placed.
thanx!
post #19 of 20
how about the 9880 ? is it like a different motherboard ? or it's the same P5Gx series ?
Where r the 9880 o'clockers? especially those with the EM64

Was wondering if someone could help with the location of the PLL file for the D900T (9860-S). It is being listed as ASUS P5GDx, CG-ICS954119. But there is no link for the file on the ClockGen site, or it's not possible to do this notebook. currently I'm running at 3.6ghz, but want to see how far I can run. The FSB is 800mhz, P4,ht

Thanks
