Overclock Asus G1s via Clockgen

Hi,

New to this forum and about to become owner of an Asus G1S!

I saw that overclocking the 8600M GT gives great performance boost (apparently beats the 7800GTX and 7900GS).

Now I am wondering whether you can use Clockgen to overclock the CPU.

Seeing that you could do this with Pentium M CPUs, I think it can be done with the new Santa Rosa platforms too.

I know that the chipset used is PM965 - the only real task left is finding the correct PLL number.

That however, means opening the laptop to find it out. I am not exactly sure which one it is but maybe you guys could help me out:

Check out the PLL list there, one may work with the PM965. If it does work, then it would be fantastic.

 

Do you like sending your notebook back for service? I dont. Overclocking may not cause it to burn,,,,but it may! I fried mor ethen one desktop gpu by overclcoking

 

I see no realistic reason for a regular user to overclock his notebook CPU. Unless doing some very heavy-duty processing (like video editing, numerical simulations, etc.) the CPU will almost never be used to its full power (no, not even in gaming).

So I would advise against overclocking.

 

Overclocking for the most part is for benchmarking with the exception of when you can get a low end cpu that has had its clocks reduced just to be sold as a low end cpu.

But thats only really an option in desktops since they get more voltage and have better cooling.

I run my opteron 148 at 2.8ghz 24/7 on stock volts and its only a 2.2ghz cpu.

and many many C2D users have the 1.8-2.2ghz cpus close to or past 3ghz on stock volts.

Not sure if there moble brothers can acheive the same results.

 

I think you can do it with overclocking the FSB, but this will first cause possible instabilities and because of the possible overheating is not suggested to do at all.

 

I dont suggest you to overclock your Asus because it is already very hot at its stock temperature. I have checked it while doing heavy gaming, the CPU is as high as 72C consider I am using a notebook coolpad already.

 

Are you sure that the cooling pad is not making it worse ?
It is the case for some laptops + some cooling pads.

 

Well,

You guys seem to be worried too much about overclocking...

When done carefully, where you constantly monitor temperature and increase FSB by about 5Mhz and run a benchmark afterwards, you can achieve a stable overclock that won't effect heat or stability problems.

I did this with my old laptop having a Pentium M CPU and I got a boost of 20% with no problems at all.

That said, it took me about 2 months to fully get it to stable, but each day, I got a performance boost and it was fun to do that.

Don't worry, I have overclocked many laptops this way, just unsure about new Santa Rosa based laptops...

 

I have tried to take away the cooling pads. The CPU temperature is 73 to 75C. I got the information from RMclock.

 

Please be reminded that your Pentium M is cool if it is only 1.5 - 1.8g, but we are talking about 2.2g which I believe is already the peak of the CPU consider it is staying in a thin area. I am sure the CPU can get to higher clock if you have a desktop cpu cooler. I know they can get as high as 3g with no problem, but we are talking about 2.2g which is already reaching 70C in a thin notebook, so overclocking is NOT recommended.
