    Hey all, trying to do the undervolting mod on my 1410 SU2300, and I can't seem to find any details on the proper multiplier/voltage for RMClock. I'm using der_mali's tutorial for undervolting, and I've found that the proper multiplier is 6x (it seems that the SU2300 only has this one). For those who have a 1410 SU2300 undervolted, what settings did you use? Any extra things I should be aware of?

    hi formerglory,

    what is you standard vcore with that cpu according to cpu-z?
    mine is 0,975 volts.

    the multiplier is fixed to 6x - the fsb is 200mhz = 1200 mhz.
    however my vcore never changes. i thought it was supposed to change depending on whether it is idle or under load.

    i undervolted it with crystalcpuid to 0,90 volts, created a shortcut in windows to undervolt it manually.
    works fine, but i did not notice any change in battery time.

    According to CPU Z mine was already at 0.900V so I don't think it's possible to undervolt more.

    With RMClock, mine appeared to be set to 1.00. I set it to 0.9 and stress tested a second time, and it runs 5C cooler now. But like you, I didn't notice any change in battery life.

    I imagine it must be doing something in terms of power usage, because 5C is a substantial reduction (from 60C down to 55C). But I guess the difference isn't big enough to really matter for battery life.
