    I attempted to under-volt using the great guide flip has up but i run into this weird issue that when i apply my profile the multiplier will lock at the lower state (6.0x in my case) and will not increase even when i run orthos leaving me with 1.2 GHz clock speed all the time when RM is running, it seems to get stuck on the lowest one. I also tried returning it to stock voltage no effect, using maximal performance profile with the highest one, no effect.

    Quick edit im OCing it to 3.0 before undervolting if that helps anyone

    Any help would be greatly appreciated,

    Sage

    I had the exact same issue.

    1st thing you need to do is disable "Enable thermal monitor 1 and 2" on the advanced cpu setting tab.

    2nd, apply the vid hack by adding registry value follows:

    [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\RightMark\RMClock] add dword UnlockVid = 1

    Reboot.

    Restart RMclock.

    Should step up to 14x multiplier and operate correctly.
