Fantastic Soft For Centrino ... well only the coder of this soft may know - maybe :P and actually i think that the best way to improve the software is by report ...

well only the coder of this soft may know - maybe :P and actually i think that the best way to improve the software is by reporting all known bugs/errors etc to the programmers who made it, then they can sort them out, fix/improve and give back to us so we could be even more happy with it

Do you mean when you change the wallpaper? Or the Visual Style?

Seems to work fine for me...

runs fine for me.. i didn't undervolt until i got this..
only problem is that they think i'm running at 24x100 when i'm running at 2.4ghz but i'm actually just at 18x133

Djembe · 05-09-2005, 02:20 PM

well, you're a special case.

guys I think the BSOD problem is caused by hdd management. Before I was running it on Loud (256) for benchmarking and it would BSOD really randomly.
I set it back to Default (128) and they stopped, I'm running 6x at .876 and and hasn't given me a hiccup.

The one strange problem I have had, though, is with ATI underclocking... If I enable "Clock directly down ATI" which downclocks your card after x minutes of inactivity, or I use "Enable ATI overclock" and lower the core/mem speeds my screen goes all fuzzy and nothing except a reboot can get rid of it. Does anyone else have this problem?

Whats the software that comes with Dell??? I have a 700m and did a clean install of XP, I didn't recall seeing anything like that before I wiped the drive though...

I switched my hdd to quiet, and enjoyed a quieter hitachi, that even benchmarked a tad faster, and no bsod. I have, however, uninstalled the program as I just generally didn't like it enough.

FYI...

he latest version is Centrino Hardware Control 1.7
(May 08, Version 1.7.0.2 with faster startup and atapi blue screen fix)

Here are my stat I got for undervolating with it...

x6 -> 0.700v
x8 -> 0.796v
x10 -> 0.892v
x12 -> 1.004v
x14 -> 1.020v

So far, passed all the stress test I've tried and battery life around 4 hours w/ALS active.

Enjoy.

wait so you can undervolt with this program? no need to follow the long tedious steps posted under "centrino undervolting"?

AuroraS · 05-12-2005, 12:07 AM

I recently tried the undervolting again... and I haven't experienced any blue screen. I didn't download the new revision... I guess the program "automatically updated" itself without me knowing?
Still... no blue screens! this is awesome. I'm starting to like this program even more

whoa.. it went faster on Quiet? what were you using to benchmark? I was using CrystalMark09 and there was definitely improvement from Quiet to Default to Loud

I emailed the creator, and he said that the newest version added a number on the battery indicator icon in the taskbar, and that also he's working on adding more notebooks for the fan control.
