Asus 1201N & 1201HA Leaked Specs

yep. I imagine so or else they would have said so.

slumpey do you have the 2.2.98 earlier version?

 

I tried it and it offers no difference over the old version in terms of OC ability, actually I cant see how it would since you close the program out after making the changes.

 

of course it won't change anything in that it overclocks, but the guy in hpmini forum was able to get more overclock stable compared to last edition. 172mhz compared to 165mhz

like he said : maybe a better dual channel support...

 

actually I had the old version on and then uninstalled it and reinstalled the new version of OCTuner. Got up to the cpu frequency where I had the old one set to, but when I was trying to watching something with quicktime, got the blue screen so I uninstalled it and put the old version back on.

But I do have a quick question, did I have to insert the ion file in the new version folder like with the older version.

 

you always have to put back the file in the list.

 

Well I think the guy is full of it, unless it makes other changed behind the scenes I don't think it should make a difference. All it appears to do is set the FSB and then you exit it. I would assume the better dual channel support was for when you have chipset.ini files that allow for more tweaking options.

 

ony thing i see different is it higher the volts on my ram at first to 2.1.

than next time when it booted it was 1.78volts. which is lower than before because it was around 1.9 with the older oc tuner.

but i cant see how it would overclock better with lower volts but higher volts it problee would give the ram little more oc room.

im gona test more overclocking with it and see if i can get higher but i doubt it .

 

I am using the old octuner and mine says 1.8 when looking with cpu-z

 

seems like the new software might be little buggy just check now when i woke it up from sleep and its at 1.9v now in octuner tab.. lol

this is my 3dmark2006 score

at 2118 mhz
didn't overclock much on gpu

480 core
850 memory
1170 shader.

FSB was 176
and i just of Hit the limit of the octuner. i can 't go any higher in the program.
when i tried 180 .. the mhz doesn't change

by the way people asked me what ram i used...
kingston pc5300 value ram DDR2 2x2gb!!


click them

 

thanks fury, you rock!!! Do you have SHE running also with these numbers, if so at what level: Super Performance? Performance?

 

very nice numbers Fury. so I guess lower ram let you go higher in the overclock at the expense of graphics power since the gpu shares the ram.

I wonder with kingston hyper X pc26400 what the results would be...

 

Has anyone figured out yet what the CPU configuration does in BIOS and whether you get better performance if its checked "enabled", rather then the default setting of "disabled"?

Thanks

 

Ok just ordered the sliver 1201N. I should get it tomorrow. I'm replacing my Dell XPS m1210 (2.16Ghz Core 2, Nvidia 7400GS, 320GB HD, 4GBs ram) with this 1201N. Looking at a windows 7 score the 1201N beats out my M1210 in everything but processor performance (3.3 vs 5.0).

I see a lot of overclocking being done on the 1201Ns. I will be upgrading to 4Gbs of ram and I'am thinking that 667 will overclock better then the 800. Also according to the specs wouldn't the 800s just be cut down to stock 533 speeds? My goal is 2Ghz, I have no need to overclock the GPU seeing as the Atom is the bottleneck on this.

 

for the ram backing down to 800mhzs no it fully runs at 800mhzs sense why it comes with it stock


and for the 667mhzs or even 533mhzs which im running 1x stock 2gb and 1gb of 533mhzs because the 533mhz one runs at low latencys which is why i could overclock too 2ghzs. but is holding the ion back sense my ram is ony runing at 667 max with the 2ghzs overclock.

if you get a good 800mhzs with low latency's that would be better which is why in about a month im gonna get the kingstons hyper x 800mhzs 2x 2gbs ram which seems to be the best 800mhzs ram for overclocking.

 

by the way mind if i ask that why you replacing your dell for the 1201n?

i just asking because well the 9400 ion is more powerful than the 7400go but with core 2 duo cpu which is much powerful than the atom the dell might do a bit better in gaming that's if you gonna be using it for gaming.


i did little test comparing the hl2 bench on on this linkhttp://www.notebookreview.com/default.asp?newsID=3199 too my 1201n which is overclocked too 2ghzs and even ave the ion overclock and the difference on the hl2 test from stock too overclock was like 1fps to 2fps kinda wieird


my fps i get is around 45 to 47 avg on that test with the same settings as what they have it on in that link i even tried turning res down to 1024x768 but still got around 47 to 48 but stayed around thoes even when i run native 1366x768.

so it does show that the dell is faster on that bench which is the cpu helping it.

but doesn't mean the dell is going to always beat it in other games but if they depens on more cpu than im pretty sure the dell is gonna beat he 1201n sense it seems like hl2 relies more on cpu than the gpu.


i just don't want you too get it and be let down that it isint as fast as your dell.


but the 1201n s a nice machine so far im loving mine been trying pretty much every game out on it and it does pretty good on it not mind blowing but good


today i just tried bioshock which i didn't think it would play good but its really playable with the settings on low and the res on 1024x78 too 640x480 i keep it on 640 sense its a bit faster i even tried some settings up and it still was playable even with the dx10setting.

 

I don't see how it can run higher then 533mhz seeing as the FSB is 533mhz for the Atom and not 800Mhz. I think I'm going to go with these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231154

 

well in cpuz it shows it runs at 800mhzs and every other program.

what it does is pretty much runs at 800mhzs pretty much for the ion sense the normal ion memory clock is 800mhzs but when i went too 533mhzs ram the ions memory went down to 533mhzs so i had to clock the ion memory it back up too 800mhzs.


the memory on these ion computers run much different than a normal computers does.

if you look back in teh screenshots you can see in cpuz the memory is running higher than 533mhzs

 

like if you look at ferrarista cpuz screen shot up above his ram is running at 441 which is 882mhzs.

hes running 667 ram which if he wasn't overclocking it would be 333mhzs in cpuz which is 2x 333mhzs which is 666. so the 1201n runs above 533mhzs with higher ram up too 800mhzs stock.

when i had the stock 800mhzs in it it showed 2x400mhzs


i could also provide a screen shot of mine running at 800mhzs later on.

 

LOL gordesky1 : you mean furyagain. I still don't have my 1201 lol. waiting to find a silver one in canada

with some hyper x memory , furyagain would be around 1000mhz in memory speeds. That is if it doesn't crash, but it shouldn't with that memory I hope.

 

Hmm that is interesting. I figured it would be locked at 533 (granted that is unless you overclocked). I should have mine when I get home from work tonight and I will play around a little. I don't think you would be able to overclock as good if you use the 800mhz ram.

 

wow .. i must of been really tired lastnight.... lol sorry ferrarista furyagain...


scupking ya i find it interesting too how it works with ram but what i herd the ram deals with the ion and not the cpu and the memory ram on the ion depends on the system ram what you put in like my ion memory was 800 stock because of stock 800mhzs ram but when i pop in the 533mhzs it down clocked the ions memory down too 533mhzs so i higher that back up too 800mhzs.


ony 800mhzs ram problee overclock better than all is the hyper x memory sense it runs cas 4 so it should overclock pretty nice than when it hits a wall just have too higher the timings higher and you would have more headroom.

the hyper x memory should hit 1000 that's what i hope too but it should sense my 533 ram overclocks better because of the low cas than the stock 6cas 800mhzs which why it hits a wall because the cas is pretty much already up there so not much headroom.

 

Ok so I have my silver 1201n. I like it except for the single bar left right mouse button. So how to I go about overclocking this machine. I have octuner installed but can't get it to run. Right now my Dell xps 1210 seems quicker. That might have to do with the 4gbs of ram. Also my sound seems to make kind of a popping sound sometimes. Do I need to update my sound drivers? Below is a test between the Asus 1201N and my Dell XPS m1210.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showpost.php?p=5721371&postcount=599 for overclocking


for why the dell is a bit quicker is problee from the core 2 duo cpu sense its much faster than the atom 330.

but the ram should speed it up some depens on what you do.


right now im running mine back at the stock 2x1gb 800mhzs ram sense my g50vt needed its ram back lol but pretty much the 4gb well 3.3gb of ram because that's the max the 1201n sees but going back too 2gb really didn't hurt the performance much so gonna keep it at 2gb till i get the hyper x ram.


ony thing now is im limited too lower overclock sense the stock 800mhzs high cas 6... ram stops me around 1.850 1.870... but still good for now the extra 70 or 100mhzs really didn't make a difference anyways.


i aready did a fresh clean of 64bit windows 7 and it did speed it up some sense the bloatware on the stock os it comes with.

but it still seems like my 3dmark o6 score is still kinda low even running the 800mhzs again but it did get better its around 1760 now with the cpu at 1.870 and the ion at 580 core 850mem and 1180 pro before it was 1600s and low 1700s.

i see people around the same mhzs im running hitting 1800s... might have too do more tweaking hehe.
