asus g1s cpu overclock is now possible

I've been in touch with setfsb author and the day has arrived !!
The version of setfsb that works with asus g1s ics ( and problably more laptops ) will be available on setfsb site soon.

 

haha oh boy

The weather forecast is calling for a few fried laptops coming soon.

 

if you do things with caution....

choose this
ICS9LPR363DGLF (ASUS G1S)

 

basically we can now overclock our CPUs? Any reason why?

 

not much for gaming, since the limiting factor would be the 8600GT

 

Good find I'm sure some will be interested.
Thanks.

 

..........and still ur lappy workin ?????????

did anybody try it ??!!

How do i make this to auto setfsb at startup?

Yep mine can reach to 2.4GHz and the temp is the same i set the FSB to 461.

 

Tried it on V1S and overclocking seems to be working. However, it crashes after I do some mouse actions, no matter what FSB is set.

 

It's bad.
My computer hang when I'm playing crysis so i will not OC My CPU again!
Thanks.

 

My NB is ACER 4920G. I don't find the proper PLL for my NB.
Will setFSB provide the PLL in the future?
Thanks.

 

Overclocking a laptop is bad simply because a) smaller heatsinks, b) smaller volume of space for heat to go which causes it to build up, c) they already run pretty hot (and you want them to run even MORE hot?!), and d) eats battery life like nuts (plus the fact that you might ruin your power adapter by overdrawing power from it).

This is only really useful for UNDERCLOCKING, but EIST already does that for us...

 

man don't take it so personally , i just wanted ppl to know it's possible, not to use it if you do not feel comfortably !! I use it. It's like "adding more horsepower to a car". If you take care of it, monitor it as you use it you should never have problems. I know, like everybody else s**t happens if you are really unlucky or you do not know what you are doing but you learn by doing stuff..

don't get me wrong, you are "right" at some point but do make it like "you are going to prison if you do it"

 

The new Pll is also working for my A8JS but there seems to be a limit at 2200 MHz i cant adjust an higher level, anybody recognized similar behavement ?

 

It looks like i can adjust what i want in setfsb but i wont get beyond 2200 MHz. It is showed in the following 2 pictures



In the one left i tried a value of 553 in the right one 663, i'm running the T7200 currently at 1.175 Volt and at 2200MHz it is definitifly prime stable so i want to try more but it isnt working ;(

 

noone got any idea how this could be fixed ?

 

Yes, but in general people tend to be overconfident when it comes to computers and many of them think they can handle anything. And usually, it's those than know less that trust themselves more.

That is why a large warning in bold red characters should be added to the first post, saying: Warning! If done improperly (and under rare conditions, even if done properly), overclocking a notebook CPU may very well kill the notebook by overheating. In general, it is very possible that the notebook will overheat when overclocked, so monitor your temperatures closely and revert to stock clocks if you notice a significant increase in temperature. Furthermore, do not overclock unless absolutely needed (e.g., if you really need that simulation or video encoding to run faster by 3% or 5%). Otherwise, it is just wasting power, heating up the notebook unnecessarily, and possibly endangering it for no reason.

Of course, "properly", "improperly"m and "significant increase in temperature" should be properly defined. Then again, I wouldn't advise anyone to overclock a notebook so that's pretty much enough time invested in this thread

 

Has anyone else tried it with a V1S yet? Mine keeps crashing after I set the FSB value.

 

are u still in contact with the author of setfsb ? @adolfotregosa

 

guys, this is ONLY for the g1s!!!!!!!!!! i know that there are laptops with the same ics but everything else could be diferent

 

ofc i know that it is only for the g1s and it is working also for the a8js, mb only a lil change in the pll could fix my prob, thats why i asked

 

same for V1S

 

I'll make some test, and will post the results

 

so basically u increase FSB and times the Multipliers to overclock it ? like on ur picture u clocked to 2.8ghz with stability?

 

Neither 2.4ghz with stability here....

 

miltiplier is the same. I only changed fsb and yes, that speed is stable !

 

Would you ask the programmer of SetFSB to recode it for Asus V1S? PLL seems to be the same or a very similar one, because I can clock my V1S to different speeds but it crashes after a while even when clocked at lower speeds.

get an engineer sample processor and overclock all u want.. with regular retail.. the multipliers is locked, the overclocking ability is limited as well.

 

Hey adolf, ive done the same with my fsb, however i cannot set it to the same as you.

The first bar is ok 399/760 , ive been able to run it at up to 2.7 Ghz which is good for a 2.2

However the 2nd bar, "43/95"?, yours show different numbers here, any clue what it does and if it has any significance?

 

that's because I have a T7700 and you have a T7500

the 2nd bar, "43/95", was a bug on setfsb !

 

Yeah, its the 2nd bar i didnt understand. So my 2nd bar is correct, your's bugged?

 

Hey ppl,

I've tried this program on my G1S, and I could raise its speed from 2.2GHz to 2.4GHz without even increasing the temperature too much...

However, everytime I reboot my Windows Vista x64, the CPUs comeback to their normal (default) values... :S

Is there anyway I can make them stay running at 2.4GHz.. like forever? Or would I have to keep OCing them everytime I reboot my OS???

​

1) Here you can notice that the CPUs are running at 2.4GHz;

2) ????? I've got NO clues about what is it !!!???? (however as it's possible to "insert something" on those empty spaces... perhaps it might have something to do with changing the CPU speed forever...)


Can anyone please thrown me some light here? Cause I'm completely lost in this matter...


Thanks.

 

I would strongly suggest:

1. That you do not mess with parameters that you do not understand.
2. That you do not force your CPU to always run at 2.4 GHz (nor even the 2.2 GHz). It should only run at high speed when needed. Otherwise you generate heat, draw more power, require more cooling, and your components wear out faster. Use IntelSpeedStep.

Also note: The benefit of increasing the maximum CPU frequencies is minimal except in things like math simulation, encoding. (I am not mentioning games because those usually don't top up the CPU)

 

i would only use this when extra speed is needed or when i get bored and want to see how far my laptop could go (i will be getting my first laptop in about a month from now).

and i think we all understand how dangerous OCing a laptop is, theres already major heat problems before OCing it. and i do think any one that would want to 24/7 OC a laptop is crazy

 

I don't think everybody understands, and when it seems that people don't understand I emphasize it carefully.

 

I DO understand that... and that's why I've made several mods on my lappy in order to keep it running in "OC mode".

My mods are:

1) External cooling system. I bought a Notepal Infinite (made by Cooler Master)

Review here: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=162820

2) I drilled holes on the cpu cover of my G1S (not in the original parts though... but in the extra ones I'd bought from Asus e-store), as taught here:

http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=146088&page=34


Well, after doing all those things, I've been pretty confident my G1S would be able to handle a little OC... as It's been running even cooler NOW, than it was before I'd mate all these mods.

-------------------

Anyway, I still need to find out what are those numbers in pic 2 for (at my last thread) and how can I make it permanent. Any ideas?

 

I understand why you made the modifications. What I don't understand is why you need to keep it running OC-ed. Are you running CPU-intensive tasks all the time? Or is it just for fun? I can accept the latter reason, you know

 

Actually I rip and manage a lot of video files at work... and that's one of the reasons why I bought this G1S in the first place. The other one is that I'm an "addicted" first shooter player in my spare time! Hehehhe...

And you know, playing Crysis and COD4 demands a lot of CPU/GPU "power"... specially Crysis which won't run at all (on a playable FPS) unless I tweak my note a little bit!

So, my final answer would be BOTH!

Anyway, do u have ANY idea what are those numbers in the SS I took for???

 

First - ATM you cannot force ANY santa rosa cpu at full speed. It's minimum or dynamic speed.
Second - You need to re-set setfsb EVERY time windows restarts, suspend/resume inclued. But for that make a batch file on the same folder as setfsb and put this [ setfsb.exe -sXXX ] where the XXX is yous desired fsb.
ONLY if you suspend/resume you will need to manually re-run that file.
After that, when you restart, setfsb will open, wait 10 seconds ( you can change that, but believe me, let it that way ), set the fsb and close itself.
Then make a link to that file and put it on your startup folder of windows.

Now, drilling holes on the cpu cover was just.... I really hope that you applied as5 or mx2 on the cpu. If you really want to be "perfect" dismantle you g1s and apply mx2 on the gpu and then apply gpu oc via bios. Only do this IF YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. I'm with the mods here, listen to them

Hope i helped

 

Thanks for your help mate,

but... "as5", "mx2"..??? What is that? Is it any kind of thermal paste or something??



Well, I don't mean to bother you, but I've got 2 more final questions for you.

1) What should I do to OC my GPU via Bios?

2) What do you think about this thermal solution:

http://www.evercool.com.tw/products/nb_ma1.htm

I'm not sure if I should buy it or not... cause the fan seens a little too weak... what do you think?

One more time, thanks for your time (and patience!)...

 

as5 is Arctic Silver 5. The other things, I don't know.

 

When you have time

My T7500 OC'd to 2.4 GHz sits at about 49C - 51C while I surf the internet with an Antec laptop cooler.

Is the temp high for my CPU?

 

Nope, it seems to be normal.

Edit: you're welcome & thanks for the rep (although I really didn't do much )
