They used different programs, CrystalCupid and RMClock, it's like saying AMD is comitting plagiarism since they are making processors

Thank you for defending me, Kenshino and others. It's really sad this thread devolved into accusations of plagiarism. Here is the original forum post which inspired me to undervolt my CPU:

Here are the other sources of information I used to learn about undervolting:

There most likely were some other sites in there but I don't remember the addresses. Most of my learning was from actually trying to undervolt my CPU, through trial and error. This fiasco has put me off from posting some other tutorials I had in mind, such as adjusting your hard drive's acoustical properties or maximizing your battery runtime.

Man this is kinda annoying, can we get a 'plagiarism' thread somewhere else if you guys wanna keep talking about this. I keep thinking there is more news from people actually trying it out and what their results were and instead it is just post after post of something not related to the thread.

Tellerve, who is looking forward and hoping the knowledge, however gleamed, will make his m70 much cooler running.

On my i9300, by keeping both fans on high, I can get the system down to 78F while idle (71F ambient). Not bad if I do say so myself.

hmm, that is certainly cool, but ideally I'd like to keep it as cool as possible with as little fan work as possible. but yeah, 78F is really impressive.

Right. I don't have the fans going full bore all the time. This was just experimenting. The funny thing is, my desktop has 5 fans (2 case, 1 power supply, 1 CPU, 1 GPU) and with them all running full bore, the CPU runs at 98F -ish at idle. 119F+ maxed out. GPU, who knows! But it's an Athlon 2800+ with a radeon 9800.

My point is, my laptop destroys it in every benchmark, runs cooler, is quieter, and it's mobile! Amazing. That's why I got the i9300.

Hey Needled, don't let stupid people discourage you from sharing information. I don't really give a damn who's idea it is, I just wanna make my hdd quiet!

My friends accusations of plagiarism were unfounded. I am sorry to jump to my friends aid without looking at all the facts. needledik congrats on the guide.

Sincerely,
Zac

This is only hurting the ones who are greatful for your time and energy in helping them in the first place. Please share with us this other knowledge you have. Be it aquired or developed, it is you who is sharing it with those in need.

8600 1.6 512 results

Nice post...

Results for 8600 1.6, 512 :

Original voltage settings: startup 0.988 min .7 max 1.340v
New voltage settings : startup 0.988 min .7 max 1.004v

Minimum and idle load temps were the same before and after (same voltages)

Idle temp 116F or 47C before and after

Minimal setting 0.700v @600Mhz 100%cpu -> 125f or 52c with no fan starts before and after.
Maximal setting 1.340v @1600Hhz 100%cpu -> 156f or 69c with 3132-3152 fan speed when slow - goes into fast occasionally
Maximal setting 1.004v @1600Hhz 100%cpu -> 127f or 53c with 3132-3152 fan speed ever seems to go to fast speed...

I didn't check the "run HLT cmd when system idle" either. It seemed when I did, a rightmark process started taking 50% of the CPU load which wouldn't go away even when the CPU was put under max load...

Do these temps seem high to anyone else with an 8600 or dothan?

cheers,

Richie

Would you people shut up about plagiarism already. Keep this thread clear for relevant content pertaining to the original topic.

Thanks for the post, btw.

r23d,
I've got an i8600c (see sig for specs) and I errored at 1.084v. I'm testing at 1.100v now. *crosses fingers*

Full stable at 1.020 V...

At 100% of CPU during an hour only 45ºC, no errors, fan working slow...

A VERY good work needledik, thanks...

Question... by undervolting my inspiron 9300 I will not see no decrease in performance in terms of games and graphics?

More appropriately i should ask what are the drawbacks of undervolting?
Thanks

Prime95 failed after an hour @ less than 1.116v.

Testing at 1.116v.

The lower the voltage, the less heat you have.
The lower the voltage, the more unstable your computer might become IF NOT TESTED CORRECTLY.
The original post is actually a little misleading in the amount of time you need for testing. A few hours won't cut it. You need a full 12-24 hour heavy duty test to ensure that the voltage will run stably.

In terms of graphics performance, it does nothing (or it shouldn't).

This undervolting sounds really exciting! My concerns though are:
Will it damage the laptop hardware?
Does it decrease overall performance of laptop? (stability, speed, etc. etc.)
Can I switch between undervolting modes and normal modes?
