8600m GT O/C prob

Ok, so I've just noticed something, overclocking only works when I plug in my power cable, if it's not connected, the clock value would retain its current value. An example would be, if I started my laptop without having the power plugged in, the clock value would be the default one, and it would revert to its default clock value regardless of applying different clock values to it.

Yet, if I had my power plugged in, I would be able to O/C it to 600/500. After overclocking it and taking out the power cable, the clock retains at 600/500, but the value will not change unless you apply a lower clock, which would then not respond to a change to a higher clock value

 

Might be PowerMizer adjusting clock speeds for you depending on whether or not you're plugged in.

 

What kind of notebook do you have 000022?

I know the Dell's are kinda stuck with "low power 3D" settings when unplugged (on battery), which are 275/200. Otherwise when plugged in they run at "performance 3D" settings of stock 475/400 for DDR2 and 475/700 for DDR3. I haven't found a workaround yet for it either.

Some people claim Notebook Hardware Control will allow you to modify it, but I haven't figured out how. Maybe with the registered version, but I'm not spending $20 if it doesn't work. It could be something with PowerMizer, but that doesn't help if I disable it either, and there's nothing in my BIOS to override it.

 

I'm using an Acer 5920g , previously, nothing like this would happen, I've set my battery performance to high, even manually adjusted the power settings for the high profile to ensure the minimum processing would be a 100%, thus fully utilizing the processor even if I'm plugged out.

I think this happened after trying out the omega driver, does Nvtweak in the regedit has anything to do with this?
