To Deathmojo - VERY IMPORTANT QUESTION !

Hi Deathmojo;

ok senice we have exactly the same laptop with the only difference being mine is 2ghz urs 1.8'something ...

anywayz my question could u plz direct me to ur source for ur overclocking ?

like the sites that u used and how u over clocked it and so on ...

make sure it's safe though ...

thankx so much ![:I]

BEFORE you do any o/c in the laptop, I would *strongly* recommend you open up the back of the I9300 and check the gpu. What I did was I opened it up, and separated the heatsink assembly from the Go6800. I then applied a layer of Arctic Silver Thermal Compound to it and reattached the heatsink. This is to make sure that the heat generated by the GPU gets efficiently transferred out. I've heard some ppl say that in their I9300, the heatsink wasn't even making full contact with the gpu! If you want to overclock you have to MAKE SURE that there is full-contact.

The same goes for the CPU too. I'm not gonna bother OC my CPU (2.0ghz), as the most demanding programs that I run are all GPU-bound (games). So I slightly oced my Go6800 after done the abovementioned fix, and left it at that.

cheers,

yass

PLZ Deathmojo or anyone else tell me how to over clock my laptop !!!

any help would be greatly appreciated !

ok i oc'ed my GPu to 10 mhz down from the max ...

351 core

772 memory


is this ok if i leave it at that ?

if not wat would be a safe place to put it at ...


PLEASE HELP ME !!!


thankx so much ![:I]

Supreme, sorry i haven't had a chance to get to a computer since thursday morning. Anyway, used Coolbits 2.0 to overclock the system. Just know it CAN cause damage to your GPU and other components. Monitor the heat of your GPU and make sure it never gets too high. Its really your discretion, just be careful!

omg thank u so much !!! iv waited so long for u to reply and thank u agian !

if it would be ok could u post ur oc's ...

how do i check my CPU temp ?

coolbits 2 ... isn't that that registry thing for nvidia gpu over clcoking thing ?

so how do i overclock my CPU and FSB and ram and other stuff ?

plz go into a bit of detail ... im some wat of a newb

thankx so much ...

make sure you tell him that if any arctic silver touches the motherboard or circuitry he will kill his computer.

u got to be careful when you apply that stuff, its not mayonaise.

lol you are exactly right.

I helped a friend of mine build his new desktop computer, I advised him through the process, but let him build it on his own, I told him to get some arctic silver if his CPU came OEM, it did and he said he put it on and nothing on the compute rworked except for a loud "popping" sound.

Turns out he SMEARED the silver compound all over the cpu and it was dripping everywhere. I dont think he realized that when he attached the Heatsink to the CPU, all that thermal grease he smacked on there would squeeze out like playdoh all over the place.

I think its something like a few Millimeters thick of grease over the area which comes in contact with the heatsink... (The thickness of a dime or penny I believe)

I just wanted to remind everyone who is doing this that its not the "amount" of grease that is important, its the secure connection of the heatsink to the board.

 

Ok if you want my advice, do LOTS of research before you continue.

First of all, weigh this consideration.
Do I need to overclock?
:This is one I ask myself alot, for instance, because im a nerd. I also ask myself this because if I am already getting good or better than needed performance out of my PC, What's the point of risking total and irreversible failure?


If you must overclock, and some of us do in order to play that game on the old PC, or run that business software program, then do LOTS and LOTS of research on what you are doing.

Overclocking is seemingly easy to do, but very hard to do well.

I personally have no clue what the best way to remove the heatsink, etc. on your card, but if you want some of my basic advice,

1. Make sure you completely clean off the old residue (left over thermal compound) from the heatsink before applying arctic silver 5.
2. Make sure you put just enough to cover the heatsink, but not so much that it will squish out when you put it back together and fall onto the motherboard or the card itself.
3. For god's sake do not apply it with your finger. (I have used plastic wrap over my finger to apply it before)
4. Make sure that when you reseat the heatsink over the processor or whatever you are doing, that it is very SECURE!
5.Immediately check out the temperatures before you overclock while in Idle to make sure that the heat is not severe, if it is lower than normal, try running a couple programs and see the heat level.
6.Begin overclocking procedure.
7. Test overclocking reliability by using something intensive like 3dmark2001, if you crash repeatedly, you probably need to change your overclocking settings.

If you want specifics on exactly the procedure of overclocking, dont ask me! Go to Hardocp.com or just google "how to overclock PC"

Hope this helps!

 

can someone show me a guide on how to apply this artic silver compound?

and where extacly to put it etc ...

also show me wat to do everything from scratch including taking out the GPu ...

sorry im somewat of a newb in this sector ...

omg thank u so much ! i hardly knew any of wat u told me and thank u so much agian !

but could u plz tell me how to oc the cpu ? dunt tell me coolbits because cool bits is for the gpu alone ...

any rpogram software that could help me ....


thankx so much ...

btw is this arctic silver compund use a bit of silver? or is it just name that[:I]sorry newb here ...

and thankx u agian ...

Oh yeah it uses real silver, thats why its so much more effective than any other thermal compound.

Honestly though, I really don't think you should be overclocking. It looks like your laptop is quite fast already, so I'm not really sure why you want to risk failure of Overclocking (especially since its your first time)

It's a bit easier to do Desktop overclocking, because heat isnt as much of an issue..also parts are very easily replaceable.

To overclock the CPU it should be as easy as going into the bios and changing the voltage settings.

But like i said, go to some overclocking dedicated websites for a tutorial, but again if you want my advice I would say dont do it, its not worth ruining a nice laptop over.

Not that you can't do it, I'm just saying its not worth it.

My 2 cents...

 

The chipset has to support o/cing in the first place, generally laptop chipsets are not that flexible when it comes to that -- simply because there usually isn't enough cooling in the confined space of a laptop for much ocing. And what really is the point if you oc your 2.0ghz pm to 2.05ghz? I didn't bother looking into that because 1) the cpu performance is more than adaquate for me, 2) any o/c possible will be VERY minimal because of the space constraint of a laptop.

If you never done ocing, i'd strongly recommend you do it in a desktop first -- much better ventilation, much more space to work with, much cheaper parts! like the other guy said, www.hardocp.com is a good source to start -- check their forums as well.

cheers,

yass

I'm pretty sure I know why you want to overclock your notebook so badly.


<hr height='1' noshade id='quote'></font id='quote'></blockquote id='quote'>exactly hehehe and how did u know?

it just dosen't make sense for a 1.8 to get 3900 in 3d mark 2005

while mine a 2ghz gets something liek 3850 when oc to the max !!!

anywaz thankx for all ur help ... uv all been great ...
