    with t9300 you can probably reach 3.1Ghz stable.

    in case you don't know, m15x bios won't allow you to OC x9000, so basically you are stuck at 2.8ghz.

    yea my t9300 does 3ghz stable, 3.1 is really pushing it and is not too stable, its all because of the RAM, the ram clocks go up and cause instability

    If the laptop ran good why over clock it to overheat it. Then you end up with a load of junk. The fault lies with the user.

    Desktops on the other hand might be cool to overclock. Eeks Hold it I did that on a Amd 3000+ it died in a year. Unknown if it was the CPU or Motherboard. This was about 8 years ago. But it was only overclock 5 to 10%.
    Overclocking adds up to a dead computer. Why waste your Money on overclocking when the newer systems will be out Soon

    Or try this idea. Save up your money Overclock the hell out of the old system when the newer systems come out then wait untel the old system burns out. Longer it runs the more money you save. Then when th old system dies you have a Excuse to buy the Faster computer.

    i mostly just want a slight overclock say 2.5 to 2.8 and if possible a little undervolt to keep it cool. It wouldnt surprise me if it is the exact same exact processor as the x9000 cept slower.

    the extrema has a higher multi allowing it to run at higher speeds same FSB with less volts ...

    i would seriously not over clock a lower multi to 2.8 via just FSB and volts would prob downclock more than a x9000 due to the volts u would have to jam in to get the fsb up
    I have not over clocked this processor but i think this is the only method.

    I really want to OC my t9300 too. But setFSB will OC everything which is the worse scenario I would imagine last.

    Anyone on updated info to share how to OC t9300 in m15x?
    Thanks.

    hey sorry i know this is not the right thread to ask this but im new to this forum and just need help with this laptop i got so here it goes...

    ok so my question is I have a satellite L300 toshiba laptop.its running on the T3200 intel processor and intel 4 series chipset. toshiba makes it clear that this laptop can ACCEPT PC6400 ram but does not say if it actually runs it at 800mhz or downclocks the DDR2 ram to PC-5300 to run at 667.

    I need to know if this machine can support 800mhz ram or not so I can finally know if i should buy 800 or 667 mhz ram.

    Of course I dont want to waste money on 800mhz ram only to get it downclocked if its not supported.

    It seems intel sats the 4 series chipset (GL140 here) supports 800mhz ram yet my FSP on this processor is only 667mhz.

    So im very confused and need help on this,thanks.
