get rid of speed-step in inspiron 1720

hey guys, i really want to get rid of this stupid annoying speed-step technology. there is an option in bios that will allow me to turn it off, but it will put the processor at 1.2 Ghz, i want it at its fullest at 2.00 Ghz, any ideas how?

 

You can use RMclock and select the highest multiplier available, and untick the rest of the other multipliers you want the CPU to constantly run at. But why would you want to do that?

 

i'm guessing u already kno what it is, so when i'm trying to multi-task, the processor doesn't go at its maximum capibilities which causes my computer to freeze and me off a bit, and tnx

 

how do i use rmclock?

 

SomeFormofHuman, if you leave it at a 13.5 Mult, then will your CPU constantly run at 2.69 GHz if your running say a T9300? Though I doubt it would do much good to use it for everyday uses. At least 13.5 is where it's at on my 1720 when I took screen shots of the benchmarks

 

Can't you just adjust the power plan settings in windows? Unless I'm totally missing something it seems to be working for me.

 

Yea, but thats not OCing it. It can't be OCed. That just enables it to use the most power it's designed to use for optimal performance.

 

Ok, but that's what the OP was asking about. He just wants the processor to stay at full speed and not downclock.

 

Ahh yea then RMclock should work, I'm going to give it a shot tonight and tommorrow since it's my day off for the week

 

what should i do in rmclock? like where do i go and choose the clock?

 

Go to profiles, maximal and in the index column check 100%. Then you would set your profile to Maximal. I don't see anything to play with the multipliers, unless thats in the registered version. Maybe SomeFormOfHuman will have more input.

I tried it and it didn't affect my benchmarking at all. I went from 4259 to 4280 3DMark06 by playing more with the GPU.

It would be sweet if we could increase the voltage.

Your best bet is to get a T9300 2.5 GHz. Best Cost/Performance ratio.

 

how much is it?

 

well the rmclock didn't have an effect on the speedstep

 

When you're in RMclock, you need to just select a multiplier (the highest in this case) you want to the CPU to constantly run at, and just untick the rest.


In this case I managed to make it run at 2 available speeds for the X9000; 2.8GHz (14x FID multiplier) and 3.4GHz (17x FID multiplier).
This means that the X9000 will run at 2.8GHz when idling, and 3.4GHz when stressed only and no other speeds selected. The 11x FID multiplier is for battery mode, that I want my CPU to run at to save power but retain at a level of speed, which is 2.2GHz.


This screenshot shows what happens when the X9000 is made to run at 3.4GHz constantly from 2.8, after de-selecting the 14x multiplier.
Notice when I de-select the 14x FID multiplier to make it run at 3.4, do watch the temps too, higher voltage, higher temperature. But in this case, it's acceptable.

These screenshots are taken from my M1730, my 1720 isn't with me at the moment.

 

oh ok, i have uncheck the 1's i don't want... ok ok, tnx now i get it. + rep XD to all

 

yay it works!! cpu-z shows it at 10x multiplier, ty very much!! now all i need to do is pin mod lol, get 2 ghz of ram, and overclock my gpu XD
