Use ORTHOS CPU loader, this stresses BOTH cores. Some programs are only programmed to stress out single core CPU's.
You can download it from my undervolting guide

I'm running prime95, But I just realised that i need to run two instances
-
I ran Orthos and hit 80C on my CPU and that was scary. It`s not good to stress the CPU that much.
Wprime 1.55 does a much better assessment. -
I can only OC my T7500 til 2.7GHz, after that it gets pretty unstable, sometimes even rebooting... And even after I'd made some mods and applied a new thermal compound on the CPU, which led both temperatures (average and TJunction) to drop, it still won't go beyound the 2.7GHz barrier.
Anyway, if you realize that an X7800 runs at 2.6GHz and costs over $1000 usd... 2.7GHz doesn't sounds that bad for a $250 mobile cpu at all...
Then, consider yourself VERY lucky owning a cpu that can OC to 2.9GHz w/stability! That's really something. -
HOWEVER, it ain't that accurate... cause last week I OC'ed my CPU to 2.75GHz and it complete several cycles at Orthos without any sign of failure....
Then I thought to myself: "WOW its stable! I'm gonna play some games to enjoy the new frequency." So, I ran Assassins Creed and... it crashed.
I tried to play another game and again the same thing happened.
So, I thought.. "Damn! Gonna try Orthos again, but leave it carrying on the test for a longer time and see what happens..."
The OC'ed cpu again, has passed the test...
CONCLUSION: Sometimes even passing all the tests (which your CPU would only fail if it's HIGHLY instable...) the only real way to be sure it's running under perfect conditions is to play some games keeping record of the temperatures and paying extra attention to any suspicious bugs that might happen. -
Dude,I know the G1S series is supose to be hot, but no way in hell 90C is a fine temp. Anything below 85C can pass the test ,and still last a few years ,maybe even as much as a stock setting would, but close to water boiling point, na ah, no way is it safe. Ask any hardware specialist(not manufacturer,they`ll tell to OC so that you`ll fry your unit and buy another
) and they`ll tell that 80C is a huge temp even for desktops.
If you LOAD temps are at 80C already, it`s a sign you should not OC, that as a Disclaimer.
Just my 2 cents -
But yeah, I can draw another conclusion from this. It will likeyl under volt quite well, as well.
And all of this is quite nice. I like the G0 stepping of merom. My old T7200 couldn't reach 2,1GHz stable. -
If you increase the highest multiplier's voltage on RMclock you should be able to OC' higher but with greater risk.
SetFSB doesnt increase the voltages which is needed for higher clockspeeds -
>.< my computer froze after running the first program posted (possible japanese os????) restarted and ended up in windows classic
-
I'm sorry to inform you that if that's happening to your laptop, your CPU probably doesn't OC very well and/or is getting instable because of it.
Then, lower the OC frequency you'd set and try to run the test again. If your cpu manage to pass the test this time, after completing it, play the most hardware demanding game you own or even just perform a 3DMark06 test for like 1h or more.
Always keep record of the temperatures while performing the tests.

Actually I couldnt even get to OCing, it froze on warming up
?
how long should I let it sit I cant cancel warming up without force shut down but clock on computer even froze -
Mate, sometimes that might happen when you use this program... So here are your options to solve this issue:
1) Wait more time before you force your laptop to shut down... cause although the software appears to be frozen, sometimes it isn't...
2) If after several minutes of waiting it remains frozen.... try a different software to test your CPU: download Orthos.
