setFSB PLL's?

i didnt really know where to stick this, but i was looking for the PLL code to use with setFSB with the intel 965 chipset, or if anyone can suggest any other prog i can use to change the FSB from inside windows

i use setFSB on my desktop and it works flawlessly

thanks

 

Overclocking a laptop is kind of crazy...I have not heard of any success stories with OCing a CPU either in laptops.

 

well this is for CS:Source, minimum for that game is a 3ghz CPU (for a 32 player server), so what i did is disable the second core so basically i have a Core Solo now which should generate less heat than both of them running, and i was hoping to take it to 2.5, i have it at 2.0 now which is just not enough

i read some threads on people with sagers overclocking, but obviously thats a diff beast (i have a thinkpad)

 

Are you having a problem running it?

I don't see anything wrong with leaving your CPU stock if it's a 2.0GHz dualcore.

 

This 2.0 v 3.0 thing is utter garbage that is reminiscent of the Pentium 4 days...when all processors had was raw speed (and not power). Screw the 3.0 requirement...you're fine there.

 

cs:source runs like poorly on 2.0ghz, and its a single core game anyway so the fact that i have a dual core is useless, its a very very cpu intensive game

 

what video card u got?

 

Hey anarky, do you have the PM965 or the GM965 chipset? Cause I've got the GM965 and I'm looking for a way to crank mine up.

 

Minimum system requirements appear to be a 1.2 gigahertz processor with 256 megabytes of RAM and a DirectX 7 video card. Of course, to take advantage of the full Counter-Strike experience, you'll want a 2 gigahertz or higher processor, 512 megabytes of RAM and a DirectX 9 video card. Link. With a quick search this seems to be supported by other sites.

Also remember this 2Ghz is a P4 not your Core 2 so your CPU is not the problem. As BigV says looks like it might be your card. I notice you don't list GPU so I suspect you have IGP.

Greg many on this site have overclocked. you must have seen. While I don't really see a great need to do except for fun it can and is done. I have done.

 

well to see if it was the CPU that was slowing it down i went to my desktop which i usually use to play cs and cranked it down from 3ghz to 2ghz and it slowed down to pretty much the same level as my laptop so its not the graphics card, p.s.:both are C2D cpu's
counter strike source isnt video card bound on any res up to 1260x or higher, it uses up all the cpu clocks you can throw at it (im talking about a 32 player server and up, which is all i play)

 

Yea and I'm talking I don't see how any internet connection is going to overwhelm your CPU 32 players or not. I just don't get but maybe I am wrong. But to humor anyone who reads thread how about telling us the CPU and GPU on your desktop and the GPU on your notebook.

 

x3100 IGP on the laptop, x1950pro Radeon on the desktop, however at the resolution i play (640x480 on both) the game is completely cpu bound, anyway i dont see how you established a relationship between my internet connection and cpu usage, counter strike is cpu bound because of voice comm, tons of physics calculations, bullet trajectory, large number of sound effects, etc., you can google it because the thread is about how to overclock my lappy not about counter strike in any case

 

I've never heard of this problem. This is almost humorous. Any current notebook, IGP or not, should be able to handle ANY CS server, no matter the limit, at 640x480!

 

I am stepping out of this one I mean a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo can't run a 3-4 year old game? At 640x480, I am clearly missing something on this. Best of luck to OP, sorry I doubted it was CPU problem.

 

That may be the best for both of us. Seems more and more people don't come to the forum for help anymore... just come to tell us their problems, and not take our advice.

 

I have pinmodded a mobile Celeron successfully in a Toshiba Satellite.

Now you've heard a success story.


The advice you could have gotten if everybody weren't so conservative and scared of breaking their laptops (cpu's are cheap-blow one up and replace it) is that the PLLs for your chipset are designed (according to the datasheet) to only recognize 533/667/800 and will shut down if set to unknown frequencies. If you have a 667 FSB CPU you could possibly pinmod which would put you at 2.4. If you're already running 800, you're OOL since electricallly is your only shot and Intel didn't build it that way.

Outside shot of finding a hacked bios, but that's always a little scary and likely not worth it.

I absolutely would turn on the other core-if you're talking about hosting a server, the more threads you can handle the better. CS:S my not be designed for multi-core, but it probably spawns more than one THREAD which is a different thing, and even if it didn't the second core would be available to handle all the things you don't realize are running like services, anti-virus, device drivers, etc.

 

Why not try turning up the res to 1280x800?
