So each time I restart the computer, I have to reset the voltages? (I'm in the process of going through the last twenty pages or so of this thread.)

no, if you want them to stick you have to clk the X in the upper right corner... it's a bug in v1.6 of RMClock...

you should run Options>Torture Tests

Is there also a way to reduce heat caused by the hard drive? It's searing my lap.

Don't think so. Haven't heard of any way.

there is a Dell utility to reduce the HDD noise by reducing the speed (i assume) that might help a little (very little)...

I was running Prime95 and was fine until I hit 1.164V, when I got an error of .

I went up to 1.180V and continued getting the error, so now I'm at 1.196V... which seems really high compared to the levels some of you are at. The proc is not pin-modded, but it is not the original processor that came with the M60. I called Dell and got a refurb 755 proc that was still in-box with seal intact. Should I get another 755?

No. The numbers you get depend both on the cpu you have and the motherboard (not only the chipset) it's running on. I suggest you find people in this thread or other that have the M60/D800 and see what number they've got.

Okie. It looks like I'll be staying at 1.196 for a while... I'll go and play with the minimal VID later.

Anyone else have any ideas on the saving of the VIDs? Clicking the "X" doesn't work for me.

Just don't shut your computer off. I put mine into hibernation and it always comes back on when I start the computer again.

New upgrade of RightMark CPU Clock:

Quote:
21 June 2005

RightMark CPU Clock Utility v1.6 is released!




Changes to this version include:

* New P-States Transitions management with user-definable P-States table feature.
* New unified PST/ODCM management scheme (when both PST and ODCM are used).
* Single set of profiles for PST, ODCM and PST+ODCM management schemes.
* Added optional OS load-based management (a workaround for Intel Centrino platform).
* Removed "Run HLT command when OS is idle" option.
* Fixed restoring of Advanced CPU settings upon resume from Standby/Hibernate modes.
* Added more configuration options for AMD K7 CPU family.
* Added power management-related chipset configuration options for Intel Centrino platform (i855/i915M series).
* Added FID/VID transition stabilization time setting for Intel Pentium 4 and Pentium M processors.
* Fixed Transmeta LongRun Table Interface info.
* Added independent AC and Battery settings for Transmeta processors.
* CPU Load and Throttled Clock are now reported as "N/A" when CPU does not support necessary features.
* Added logging period limiting and log file "rotating" (when max logging period elapses and at the program startup).
* Added command-line parameters support (CPU info dump, profile change and exit commands).

Do your settings save correctly?

yes there are probs with saving the values, you can read about them in my posts on the RMClock Forum.

mine do ever since i checked "use os load-based management" under the Management tab and clicked Apply and clicked the X (close) button in the upper right corner... i also checked "Remember these settings" under the Advanced tab 'cause i've made chgs on that page... but i always clicked the X last... even Dmitri, the author of RMClock admits he had the prob in earlier versions but thought he had it fixed...

I saw those comments, and I did as said, but it didn't work this morning. (I'm also the last posted in the thread you posted.) I'll do it again, and if it doesn't work, I'll just switch to CHC. At the moment, I can't tell if undervolting has done a huge deal... my proc doesn't run at 100% for this long this often, so it's difficult to compare temps.

Thanks for the help -- it's been insightful. Hope things work out!

Okay, when I restarted, I lost the settings again. Perhaps this will help -- when my programs load in the taskbar, RMClock does NOT -- even though, under the general tab, I have "Run Automatically at Startup" checked. When I closed the program, I clicked apply, and then clicked the red X. And then I installed my updates, restarted, and no RMClock; no settings. Ideas?

Edit II: Okay, yes, RMClock does load, just after a very long time. Even so, it still does not save the settings under the Management tab. I guess I'll switch over to CHC today, then...

Depends on the processor. I can only get my 745 1.8ghz to 1.164v. That is sorta high for a 600m Anything lower and I get errors in prime95. I was able to get the min down to .700v. I consider this better as this will increase battery life and keep heat down while idling. Which I have it do a lot. However one of the reasons I did this was because World of Warcraft overheats at around 30 minutes. With the overvolt I can play for a few hours, but I still hit a throttling point. Oh well once I get my desktop built I probably wont game on this.

Toshiba question

I looked an could find no posts from anyone with a Toshiba.
I have an M200 that I'm currently havie run the the gauntlet and things seem to be going well but I have a few questions.
The process as described checks the max and min but what of teh other steps in the processor? RMClock can load them all - so should they also be adjusted and tested? Does RMClock manage teh processor speeds properly by load?
The Toshiba's come with a utility that adjusts the processor speed and display intensity according to profiles - the profile can also be flagged to auto step the processor with specified limits according to load. Will RMClock "fight" with the Toshiba util or will RMClock win? It seems like during testing that RMClock is successful in modifying the processor voltage but I don't want the syetem to start acting wacky. Are there any utils that someone may be aware of that can adjust the Display intensity?
I guess that's enough questions for now...
regards,
Jon

Hi All

I have done reading most of the thread and actually undervolt my CPU, I like the safe battery time and the temp drop of my CPU, but then I have question regarding the Harddisk issue, my computer is a Fujitsu N3510, and using CHC, I couldn't apply the customize fan speed, so after undervolt, my harddisk temp jack up to 67 degree Celusius, but after I remove the undervolt program, the fan kicks in normal and then my harddisk temp drops back to 54 degree Celusius.

So my question is there any other program that can control fan speed except CHC or fangui for dell computer, or just I am out of luck of this undervolt program?

Thanks in advance

speedfan also controls fan speeds, but I am not sure with which computers it is compatible.
