F3J-C clock generator

Hi, i currently own an ASUS F3J-C PRO31J laptop.

Specs are
Core 2 Duo T5200(1.60ghz)
Intel i945 chipset
2gb ram
Gf 7300GO 512mb
120gb hd



Im gonna try and overclock it a bit, of course always monitoring the temperature while i raise the clock.
I tried to google to find what clock generator it uses but wasnt able to find.
Does anyone knows?

thanks in advance.

 

Thats a fast laptop already, why do you need to overclock?

If its for better gaming performance then its your GPU which is the bottleneck. Overclock that rather than the CPU.

 

Agree with radditz, cpu OC won't really do anything about gaming performance. A 7300GfGo is a pretty low end gpu too, so don't expect too much out of it if you're able to OC it at all; there isn't likely to be very much in terms of thermals or overhead available for such an adventure.

 

it will do difference in games like Team Fortress2.
Since no matter what res(640x480 or 1024x768) i use my fps doesn´t changes.

and ive readed on some forums that it has a high chance that a 1.6->2.0ghz overclock will barely make the temperature increase.

 

The fact that the FPS doesn't change with resolution doesn't necessarily mean that the CPU is the bottleneck. It might still be because of the GPU, you need to check to make sure. One way to check it is to see if your CPU is permanently 100% loaded during the game.

There is a high chance that a 1.6 to 2 GHz overclock will render your system unstable and unusable. Or maybe overheat and melt the CPU. I'm exaggerating a bit with the melting, but I want to emphasize that you shouldn't rely on "some forums"(1) to make decisions about changing settings your hardware. Instead, you should be sure about what exactly those settings are doing -- which I don't think you are given that you want to move from 1.6 GHz to 2GHz in one go. There are two important things to consider:

1. Stability. Each particular CPU has its own limits and if somebody managed to overclock theirs with 25%, it certainly doesn't mean that you can. Even if you can, clocks should be increased in small steps, and each step should be followed by thorough stability tests.
2. Efficiency of the notebook cooling system. Maybe you'll overload it and overheat the notebook.

(1) You should rely on these forums. Heheh joking

 

Of course im not going to 1.6 to 2.0 in one hit. I just used -> 2.0 as am example.
Ill increase the clock while testing stability and trying the lowest vcore possible while monitoring the temperature.

i overclock my desktop since like ever, so im not going to fry anything here.
so, anyone know what clock gen it uses? ;p

 

Oh sorry, you sounded like you weren't so experienced with these things. I don't know about software I have never overclocked a notebook CPU. They work fine as it is.
