RM Clock undervolting

Does anyone here use RM Clock to undervolt their CPU's for better battery life and production of less heat with regards to the CPU.
I use it and the lowest I can set it to is 0.95, I have selected mobile in the advanced settings CPU type. My results are:

T8300 CPU

8x-10x multipliers set at 0.95
11x at 0.975
12x at 1.00

It seems stable and the maximum temperature my CPU gets to when testing it using orthos and the CPU and Ram blend test is 45C so far which i think is quite good results.

I would like to know what results other people got and also if it is a good idea to set the lowest multiplier in use to 10x as this is the lowest the voltage goes to anyway. What would be the results of doing this ie a reduction in life of the chip, etc.

Thanks in advance.

 

You can do this without any ill effects. If you use 10x as the lowest multiplier, there will be an overall slight reduction in heat as the CPU won't have to ramp up the multiplier/voltage as often.

It's fine as long as the CPU is stable.. with Orthos and what-not.

 

OK Thanks
I have noticed that when I leave the laptop on porformance on demand/balanced profile then the voltage seems to fluctuate randomly to higher voltages then I have set. Do many people experience this problem or no of a solution??
Also I was wondering what results other people got with regards to temperature and voltages.

 

Yeah, I've noticed from time-to-time, RMClock temporarily loses control over the CPU which goes back to stock voltages. I haven't found any solution, but it's not a big deal.

My CPU's load temperatures went from 80C+ down to 63C, so I'm satisfied.

edit: this is on my Inspiron 710m which has a Pentium M 745 1.8GHz processor; since then I've got a new notebook which runs fine with no tweaking.

 

So has anyone else had good results with the T8300 CPU temps/voltages?? Do other people experience the problem described above??

 

I've got a T7500 on an Inspiron 1520; once in a while the voltages/speeds will go to the system default for a fraction of a second. But it's pretty rare overall - not like it's doing it for 30 seconds or anything like that.

I would still let RMClock use all the multipliers on Performance on Deamand. The reason is that frequency as well as voltage has an impact on power usage. So you'll use a bit less power with the 8X 0.95 (1.6 GHz) than the 10X 0.95 (2.0 GHz).

Don't you also have a 7X, and 6X multiplier, and Super Low Frequency Mode (SLFM)? I'd enable those if you want power savings, too - even if you can't set the voltage any lower, you'll save some power from the lower frequencies.

0.95V is usually the lowest for T-series processors, by the way. For some reason the T7500 goes to 0.85V, so that's what I run mine at in SLFM. 1.00V is a pretty good undervolt for 2.4 GHz; the best I can get is 1.0125 at 2.2 GHz. Guess that's the newer technology at work.

Temperature reduction is 15-20C, depending on ambient temperature. But that's T7500 from 1.2375 to 1.0125, not T8300.
