    I urgently need step by step instructions to OC (Overclock) a G1S because i want the bets performance possible. That however is only up to you so if any of you can be so kind would you give me links to maybe software i need and the clock speeds and well as if i need a notebook cooler or not. It will take little time just clock speed, software, and cooling. Thxs guys sorry for posting mso many threads on this but i came here and posted because i know this is a great forum!

    I'd suggest not overclocking unless you need it for a game or some other app to run well. New notebooks, like the Santa Rosa series from ASUS, are very hot and I wouldn't advise adding more heat on them unless absolutely necessary.

    Got your PM, sorry for the late reply.

    I use Riva Tuner and you can download it here:
    http://downloads.guru3d.com/download.php?det=163

    Open the software after installed and go to:
    1: nVidia PNP Monitor to see the clock speed for both GPU and Video RAM.
    2: go to Driver settings and click Customize and then System settings.
    3: here is my settings:

    I've been OC'ing mine ever since I got it and it never goes past 95 degrees, not too hot at all. As long as he doesn't overdo it and keeps it in a cool environment (like not on the carpet, for the love of jeebus!), the lappy OC's quite nicely actually.

    95° is way hot I think. You should really try to stay in the high 80s as a maximum and in the low 80s as an average. Anything over 90 can do damage and your laptop will age much faster.

    Well considering that gpu temp on my non oc'ed g1s is 80 degrees celcius when just surfing webpages and 100 degrees under load, I'd say that 95 degrees for an overclock is pretty good.

    This thing IDLES at mid 80's. It's in a VERY cool environment, and has given me no problems. I don't think 95 is very hot for the laptop, I've heard people having theirs all the way at 110 degrees, now THAT is hot.

    CORRECTION:

    Actually, its been idling at around 70-75 degrees Celsius. During high performance when playing STALKER, its gotten up to 90 but not over 90. I was exaggerating before. And that was when it was overclocked. When I left it at regular speeds, it gave the same temps during gameplay, so I don't think the OC'ing has put the system under any extra stress so far. If it does I'll be sure to report it.

    you guys have been talking about GPU temperature... however, all the utilities i've tried running only give me CPU temps, which idle around 60-65, and under load run about 78-83. do you think that's too hot for the CPU, and what programs do you use to monitor GPU temp?

    thanks :)

    Offhand, I would say yes, that's rather hot for the CPU. My Core Duo only gets in the low 80-s when stressed to the max by Intel Thermal Analysis Tool (and that's way above what usual loads do to the CPU). But newer Santa Rosa laptops are comparatively very hot by design, so probably you shouldn't worry about it.

    For the GPU: usually the driver will tell you the temperature: on WinXP rightclick desktop, properties, settings, advanced, GPU tab.

    my CPU idles at about 49-50 (by speedfan) and goes up to mid 60s under load, GPU idles at about 74 or 75 (by rivatuner) and goes up to mid 80s under load.
