Simple Undervolting Tutorial - Pentium M Dothan - Page 21

I've been progressively lowering mine, and I think i'll stick with where I am now. Max: 1.084v, Min: 0.780v. I am getting better battery life, and my fans hardly ever come on!

rmclock new version 1.6 is released!

http://cpu.rightmark.org/products/rmclock.shtml


With the newly implemented multistep P-state transitions instead of previous
two step min FID/VID - max FID/VID it probably will match the competitor
Centrino Hardware Control (which previously was able to save about 10% more power than
RMClock, as it has been reported on some German forums).

Note that, unlike CHC, rmlclock does not need M$' .Net framework.

ofelas,
I don't know what are these issues, I think the best is to ask on forum.rightmark.org.
It's very helpful.

I'm having troubles following your steps

7.) Make sure "Minimal FID" is at the lowest number (6.0x in my case) and "Maximal FID" is at the highest number (15.0x in my case).

Where do you see this "minimal FID" and "maximal FID" ? I can't find it anywhere in RM Clock, nevermind adjust it

The newer version has changed those steps. You need to add a FID profile for each multiplier. I used Centrino Hardware Control to find stable voltages, then slapped them into RMClock.

On the General page (the very first) of RMClock, right above all the checkboxes with option setings. This is where you find min/max FID and default min/max VID for your CPU.

Change them on Management page by enabling/checking Use P-State transitions (PST) and then using Add button.

Better yet read RMClock.htm that came in the downloaded archive

How one can uninstall RMClock or upgrade it to a newer version?
It seems to be somehow not straightforward, or it's just me so ... stupid.

whew, that was a long 28 pages but well worth it!

A question that I could not find an answer to was, do I need to set voltages for all multiplers? Right now I am only using Max and Min with CHC. [P-M 745 1.8 Min 0.796v Max 1.116v]

Prime 95 has been running for 12~ hours on each setting. After all testing I will be using 'dynamic switching'.

So which is best the CNC or RMclock?

There are varying opinions about that. CHC also acts as a temp and CPU speed monitor, as well as a hard drive temp monitor, a battery guage, and a clock & fan control for your graphics card (if it's made by ATI). I use it becuase it replaces 2 or 3 other applications I was using (like mobile meter, for instance)

You don't have to set them all. I'm only using the max and min because I don't feel like testing all the others, plus I've only seen it on a multiplier that was not the max or min once ever. I'm either plugged in running at full speed when necessary or on batteries where I want max life. I suppose if you want a tradeoff say when on battery, you could test another one.

if you want simple undervolt program then go rmcock, but if you want a program that cover everythin on your laptop, like cpu speed,cpu voltage, harddrive, temp, gpu, battery then CHC does it

Thanks guys....CNC it is.

Lostbob, i see that you have a S360P - what are your current setting using CNC to get the best battery life?

Thanks.

is it ok to run dynamic switching when im on battery power? or should i put it on max battery?

dynamic switching is fine if you want to customize things a little

Isn't dynamic switching the default on battery.

When setting RMClock, I kept Prime95 runnin' while I used some of my regular pgms just to make sure I had pushed it as much as possible, but it still blew up later... lol So I set it up a notch and no problems since.

I wanna switch to CNC but FanGui and RMClock are wkin' so well... decisions, decisions...
