    Hello.
    Has anyone here been able to undervolt their g1s? I've tried following guides but the g1s is incompatible with the programs they use to undervolt. So has any experienced g1s user have any success in undervolting?

    Indeed, I second RMClock. If you tried NHC and it didn't work -- well it seems it still has (many?) issues with Vista. I've heard of no issues with RMClock although that doesn't mean it won't have any.

    Try RMClock.

    Is there a newer tutorial on how to undervolt in RMClock, i can only find ones from like 2005... and the program looks nothing similar now. To be honest, the new one quite frankly confuses me. I can use rivatuner just fine... its just this is kinda o_O


    found one here :

    edit 2:
    I guess this is my problem...
    While in the profiles part of RMClock then i check the "Use P-State Transitions (PST)" it lets me only select one of the multipliers, hitting control wont let me select another one. *is confused*

    The "Max Performance" and the "Battery Saving" modes will only let you use one P-state (multiplier) only.
    The "Performance on Demand" will let you use any combination of multipliers.

    This is the normal behavior of the program.

    Do not forget to load the defaults by pressing "defaults" in the Management tab (I think), otherwise you will get just generic defaults, not tailored to your machine, and you will not undervolt correctly.

    As to a guide... I just undervolt using around 0.2 volts lower than the default. If it's stable like that, I keep it like that. Otherwise I go back 0.05 volts at a time, until it's stable. I never do any stress tests or stuff like that, I just wait to get blue screens and if I do then I decide it's not stable. :)

    Yeah, I know, not too elegant but it works and saves a lot of time as well.
