Fantastic Soft For Centrino - Page 2

What I did was use RMClock and CPU-Z... and i sort of tried to put the computer under little load and watched the CPU voltage in CPU-Z throttle as the frequency did.
As I watched, I wrote down the corresponding "half-load" voltages and then manually put them into the CHC program.

I'm sure there are other ways around this, but that's just how I did it.

Geeze you guys. Just click on the "Voltage Information of Pentium M Dothan" in the Voltage tab, it brings up the complete chart of voltages for every frequency step for every CPU model.

By the way, RMClock only lets you set the max and min because in regular SpeedStep those are the only two settings that get used. With this program, you can enable "custom speedstep" which will use all of the settings that you specifically enable. Very cool. And there are enough slots in the settings window for me to enter every frequency that my 755 supports. This program is extremely well thought out.

Of course, it takes a long time to verify the settings for every one of those frequency points. So far all I have is my max and min (from RMclock) and also 8x works on 0.7V.
I'll experiment more with the rest when I have other work saved so I don't have to worry about a crash...

sorry, I'm slow. I figured it out, but I did it the hard way (changed minimum voltage to each individual multiplier, and recorded the voltage on each).


edit: I just looked at the voltage chart, and it looks like on my Asus Z71v, my CPU was already undervolted a tad, compared to the lower numbers on the chart. Perhaps that's part of why it's so cool (literally)?

I kinda liked it, although I tried setting a multiple for x7 and I couldn't get .7volts for it, I think I tried the one higher than that. I dunno how you got x8 @ .7volts. My processors sucks LOL

Otherwise it is kinda nice, although I'd like there something to be in there for nividia cards. Oh and I installed .net to load it and then uninstalled it. Can't do that, it needs it apparently to run as well. Bummer, 'cause I don't see the need for .net. Also, I couldn't get the fans to register, but I might try again.

btw, HYC, are you saying that my cpu is either at min or max with speedstep normally? I don't think that's the case, as I believe there is a middle ground setting of speed for the cpu but perhaps I'm wrong.

I do believe there is "middle ground" too...and it can be proved if you monitor the CPU voltages carefully.

so, if you went and set the voltages for each multiplier would it then go maybe to say x11 on some things and on others x9 or then to x13, and then if it really needed it to x15?

I believe so...yes. It depends on the CPU load... the most common two multipliers used would be the lowest and highest though, that's for sure.

I've only ever seen my CPU at 6x and 20x before using this program. Possibly it went through the intermediate speeds too quickly for me to tell, but with CHC I can definitely see it hitting the intermediate speeds now.

Does it also work for Alviso? I noticed they were using the 855 chipset, the one that runs the dothan at 400 MHz FSB

that's pretty neat to know hyc. I might have to try it out again. Did you do the voltages from the list when you click on that 'help me' sorta button? Or did you actually test your own?

As I said, I was kinda bummed that x7 wasn't able to get .7volts but maybe I did something wrong. I'll certainly give it another go.

Michael, I'm using this on my Asus, which runs on an alviso chipset.
Tellerve, I've got 6x running at .876 volts at the moment. I'm too scared to go near .7

so here's what I got.

6x @ .7
7x @ .7
8x @ .748
9x @ .828
10x@.860
11x@.892
13x@1.052
15x@1.148

Although it still seems to be either at 6x or 15x, although I have seen a couple of the middle ones. Also while I was watching when it goes to 15x it'll hit the 1.314volts that is what it started at and then go to 1.148.

And finally, .net messed with my windows so now I have to log in and that's pretty annoying. I'm hoping someone will know how to get rid of that part.

Ha ha, did the same thing on my system.
Uncheck that either in the Screen savers tab of Display Properties (that's for when screen savers turns off) and for starting up, you'll probably have to re-check the Autologon check box in tweakUI of Powertoys.

Oh btw, thanks for not answering my PM, appreciated

OK, here's what I got:
6x @ 0.700V
8x @ 0.700V
10x @ 0.732V
12x @ 0.796V
14x @ 0.860V
16x @ 0.908V
18x @ 0.988V
20x @ 1.148V

I haven't gone thru the full length stability check yet though, but I know from using RMClock that 20x @ 1.148V was fine, and anything lower at 20x crashed.

I'm interested in this for changing fan speed. Hopefully it allows that on the CL56.

Mainly I want to be able to crank up the fan to full speed on occasion. During midlevel loads, the notebook heats up quite a bit because it only runs the fan at medium speed. I'd like to crank it up to high speed.

I don't see a speed control here, it just lets you set the turn-on and turn-off temperatures. On my M6Ne the speed still changes as the temperature rises, independent of this program.

Hmm...this isn't good, I'm starting to see BSODs every so often. I never had BSODs when using RMClock...but I get them when using CHC; I don't see why/how though... I'm using the exact same voltages as I am in RMClock

Me too. I guess it's not as great as I thought at first. I guess I could try running it with default voltages for all of the speeds for a couple days and see if it's just the voltages, or if it's the switching code that is messing up.

Yeah... the BSODs are really disappointing. I'm trying to run the default voltages right now...
The one thing I really like about this program is the fan control; this is a godsend for us M6Ne users with fan trouble
