eee PC 1000HE Overclocking ?s

I've been tinkering with my eeePC 1000HE and trying to overclock the system beyond what SHE allows. I can make at about 1819.6 MHz before the system locks up. I read all over of people being able to OC to a minimum of 1.9GHz and up to 2.15GHz. Running BIOS 0902 and using setFSB to OC.

Is my CPU just a dud or am I missing something? Any way to increase the voltage? Specs in sig.

 

Some cpu chips have more overclocking potential than others. Intel pulls and clocks them to minimum standard speeds, but the overhead varies by specific cpu model and also by production wafer.... this is a well known phenomenon in the desktop realm, which I'm guessing you already know given your desktop rig.

In your case, you just have one of the cpu chips that was in the lower performance range (but still met minimum Intel standard for the Atom) and it doesn't have the same overhead as others out there - not much you can to about that. Spicing up the voltage is a dangerous deal with notebook chips, esp in small formfactor chassis like the netbook category that aren't designed to handle a lot of excess heat.

 

Thanks for the response. I don't have a desktop right now. Thats my other notebook in my sig .

I figured that was the case. Just a lower performing chip, which is too bad. I'm familiar with voltmodding, there is a thermal allowance for it on this netbook. The TJMax if 90C, I rarely top 65C, even overclocked to 1.8Ghz. My happy maximum is 15C under TJMax, so I've got another 10C I want to push. A little extra voltage would do the trick. But if it won't overvolt, it won't overvolt.
