Has anyone tried undervolting their Ferrari yet? Can you post on how you did it?

Thanks

I would like to know this also, as I do not know how to undervolt

Right now i'm using RMclock to undervolt the voltage when the cpu is at maximum loat. At 2Ghz i've managed to bring the voltage down from 1.5V to 1.325V. I'm testing stability right now with Prime95.

I'm folowing this guide right now: http://www.notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=80394

I'll update my Ferrari review once everything checks out.

What is the purpose of undervolting? Reduce heat, increase battery?

Correct. With undervolting my laptop fans do turn to full speed then playing system intensive games like Half Life 2. I'm very happy with my undervolting results though i haven't tested battery life yet with undervolting.

Is this method is comparable with eManager's ePowerManagement ?

I have no idea because i can't find ePowerManagement installed anywhere on my Ferrari.

the Turion CPUs should undervolt very well. I bet that the 35W CPU can easily do 25W, if not <20W.

Just follow this guide, which has nice pics:

i looked at that guide, and my version of RMclock looks different than the one they use. Mine also has only 1 multiplier at 4x. any idea whats up. I would like to try and do this soon

Ok after some trial and error i think i've managed to get RMclock to run and be stable. So there is a step by step for you people.

1. download the latest version of RMClock (latest version to date is 1.6) from here: LINK

2. Set your Windows powermanagment settings to 'Alway's On'

3. Install RMClock and run.

4. Go to the Management Tab. Check the box that has the 'Use P-State Transtiton (PST)'

This box will have one value in it, you're lowest FID and VID that's the default on your laptop. You now want to add the State for the Max FID and VID for your laptop.

Click Add and use the drop down box to pick the greatest FID. In the Ferrari's case it's 10x. For your voltage you'll have to use trial and error, running prime 95 and lowering the voltage gradually untill you find the lowest Max Voltage the cpu can run at. In my case it is 1.350V.

what about the 4x multiplier? can you change that setting? and how do you get the computer to run at 100% load but only using he 4x multiplier and not 10x

i undervolted tonight. mine seems to be running fine at 1.325 and only stops prime95 about 1/4 of the time at 1.300. But i just gamed for about half an hour with it at 1.325 and mobile meter still says im running around 70 degrees. maybe the big gain is in battery life, but so far no lower temp

what is the point of undervolting when running on ac exept to make it run cooler, although it doesn't seem to make it run cooler. Undervolting doesn't take away from proccessor capabilty or how much data it can proccess right?

If you just want to keep the computer running in the 4x mode only then change the battery/AC profile to minimal.

That will lock your voltages to what the lowest FID and VID p-states are in RMClock

It really depends on what you are doing. If you're just browsing the web or watching the movie, that doesn't really affect your temps since you are not continualling putting a heavy load on your processor.

But if you're like me and play 2 hour sessions of Half Life 2 in a sittting, then you'll notice that the computer won't get as hot as it would usually do with out undervolting. This helps your computer from overheating and puts less stress on the components to make them last longer over time.
