    Hola people i was just given a program called setFSB i think its a overclocker for the cpu but i don't know ? :eek:

    Anyone know what this dose i see in the setting of the program there is a G73JH setting and if it is a over clocker i don't think i will use it.

    A friend payed for the key to use but is don't work on his laptop i guess so he emailed me the program and key.

    21 views no help :( ok i know theres alot of overclockers where are you ?

    With SETFSB you simply raise the PLL and test every couple of mhz by using something like Prime 95 to make sure it does not lock up or BSOD. As you have the 720qm like me you will start at 139PLL or 153PLL depending if you have turbo mode on. Work your way up and as above you will gradually reach a point where things start not responding, gadgets and programs start crashing and you eventually BSOD. For me that is around 187PLL although my overclock ability as per my sig link of 2ghz is a lot higher than the norm and I usually hang around 185PLL to remain stable. Remember what your highest clock is and drop it down 4 or 5mhz once you have rebooted from the BSOD and then stress and test the PLL to make sure its stable, if not drop it a few more.

    (SETFSB will reset back to default 139PLL if you crash or restart your computer)

    IMPORTANT: have a read through this and apply this fix if you plan to o/c the CPU as Windows 7 has an adverse effect which needs correcting with a simple timing fix applied through DOS prompt using administrator settings. All compliments go to Unclewebb for this fix and his continued support with CPU overclocking.

    Overclocks are limited by voltage and thanks to Asus it would appear because of hardwiring these cannot be changed so as long as you have good temps at the moment or good paste you wont really need to worry about the small increase in temperature, but use HWINFO to make sure everything is running as it should by using the sensors. Also every chip is different so do not expect to reach what others have or expect to reach more, as Tijo has explained on another recent overclocking post that chips are put through certain tests to make sure they can handle the stock clocks, voltage, watts, etc (called binning) and if they pass the tests they are allowed into the OEM production world, they do not necessarily test for the chip to reach the sort of output we aim for which in my case is excessive and im nearing the point of attaching a car battery to the GPU/CPU. :twitchy:

    I posted this on another link I have amended it slightly. Remember overclock at your own risk as always.

    If you dont find any let me know and I will post a video for you of me doing it. I plan to rip apart my signature during my day off tommorow and totally cover CPU / GPU overclocking with videos and notes but can put one together when I get back from the Gym in a few for you if needby.

    Its pretty straight forward if you follow what I said above you cant go wrong.

    Go back and read my post all the way through on the other page before attempting overclocking because there are some very important bits.

    I cover why that is because Turbo mode pushes the FSB up from 139 to 153.

    video would be cool i see in your sig you pasted with IC Diamond im about to do that to ICD 7 paste should be fun but ya the setting i was talking about 153/760 can you tell from that if its bin clocked? the guy i got the laptop from just sent me the program and his key for it but i dont want to over clock it more if im already pushing the CPU :)

    Ignore the second number you are focusing on the first which is the PLL for the FSB speed and again it has not been overclocked you have your TWIN TURBO button on which pushes the PLL upto 153 if you turn it off and then select getfsb again it will drop back to 139PLL.

    I will probably have some vids up later and update my sig, watch this space :)

    I have a nice range personally I find 171 is a sweet spot for me under normal usage and I can throw it upto 185 stable but it will throttle under full load my max is 190 but that is not stable under a full stress test.

    Dont expect to hit these though I have a chip that was dipped in mythril. :p

    Yeah highly recommend ICD if you haven't repasted yet you should hopefully see some good changes in your temps as long as you do the repaste properly. See my sig for some results of my attempts.

    I have uploaded a movie to my signature for ya on CPU overclocking. I will be uploading a movie for GPU overclocking shortly as well using CCC but you can use ATIGPUCLOCKTOOL or MSI Afterburner also.

    I recommend CCC Overdrive.
