T9300 temps.

After getting the stripped screw out (thank god) here are the temps with orthos after an hour. Also am I using the correct test?

 

No, use Small FFT's to stress out the CPU

You can do both CPU and RAM aswell.

 

Temps down to 64c after an hour with that test. Will the cpu be ok? Please tell me I don't have to re seat.

 

OMG i think you cooked it!

No just kidding! Your temps are perfectly fine, and well with in the safe zone (the 9300 can get to about 90deg before you need to start worrying alot)

What is your idle running with the 9300?

But honestly the temps look good, i would undervolt it just to knock more off the temps though. From what i've seen the t9300 does amazingly well undervolted and can sometimes shave 10+ degrees off its temps

 

The newest version of HWMonitor show the current, min, and max temps. Making it a little more useful. I also agree that you should see how it handles being undervolted.

 

Can you guys link me to an undervolting guide. Haven't really played with processors since my desktop had a laser locked mobo.

I think the temp fairy came down last night and graced my laptop with a 5c(idle) and 10c(load) temp drop. Here is a pic of temps with orthos at 10 min.

 

See already better. You should be able to shave another 2-4 degrees once your thermal paste aligns correctly (about 200 hours for artic silver)

And if you undervolt you'll still be able to shave 5+ degrees off of that.

Just think you could have a CPU that doesnt go over 50 degrees at full load I wouldnt be surprised if you could knock it worh to 45deg or so pretty easily.

 

Ok I tried to uv to .95v and .9625v but got errors in orthos . So far I have been running .975v for an hour and have had no problems. Temps dropped too. At load I am now running what my t5550 ran idle..

 

Sweet, your load temps are barely above what my x9000 idles at (37-40) So good job! You now have the coolest running CPU in the game (that we have seem much use in)

In a few hundred hours when the thermal compound aligns you should get another few degrees drop and then you'll be all set.

I wish i had your temps!

 

Temps are great but I don't know if I should uv when when plugged in. Just ran 3dmark to compare uv vs non uv and got a 200pt difference. It might just have been the fact that rm clock was running but 200 pts is a lot.

 

Undervolting does not (and cannot) affect performance in anyway....

 

unless the the multiplier is not supported by rmclock, seen that reported already. hence loss in performance.

 

I'll let you in on a secret. 3dmark06 isnt the end all be all of your computer. If somehow your "actual" preformance suffers from undervolting then i would stop, but your not actually taking a hit from it. its mostly because you have a few back ground programs running. Plus 200 points isnt a big deal.

Also i installed an x9000... my computer runs like it should with a 3ghz CPU and CPU benchmarks tell me that i have the most powerfull mobile CPU (not counting the x9100) available, and my preformance is DEFINATLY where it should be. But my 3dmark06 score was like 5300 and i havent been able to get it above 8600 for some reason. I was chatting to Dook while it was happening (well after the tests because i shut down everything to try and run them better) So he can back me up on the oddball scores.

But you know what, i'm not trying to set a benchmark record so i really dont care that much.
Basically i would keep the underfolt. The powersavings and the nice cool temps will be a much more useful thing to you over 200 3dm06 points i promise

RMclock doenst support .5x modifiers, but i dont believe the t9300 uses a 1/2 modifier does it? I might be wrong though

 

T9300 maxxes out at 2.5GHz (12.5x). If undervolted, it will max out at 12x = 2.4GHz. 100MHz doesn't really affect performance. You can enable IDA and play around with it, but it is pretty buggy.

 

I'll keep the undervolt. Should I undervolt the rest of the multipliers too or is the highest one the only important one?


edit: Looks like I cant go below .95v in rm clock. Is that just the lowest voltage the processor supports?

 

Undervolt all.

Low voltage = low temps
Low frequency = low temps

 

yep...cause something in my head kept telling me 200X12 = 2500 ... must be that alabama math still stuck in there
wow i'm just not doing well today it appears

 

So if my 11x multiplier is stable at .95v and .95v is the lowest possible setting is it ok if I set all the remaining multipliers (< 11x) to .95v?

 

you would be best off testing each of the multipliers individually, but theoretically, yes, the remaining multipliers should be fine @ .95V

 

you can undrclock further by enabling the vid hack in the registry
in your rmclock directory there is a reg filed called "RMClock_Tweaks"
double click to merge it then go to the registry key and edit the UnlockVid from 0 to 1 you can also edit that reg file for the same effect.

 

lol nice! .95 is great, I can get to 1.13 @2.8, but thats about it.

ps royk, try 1,13 if you allrede havent.

 

i cant get that low, 1.1625 gives me bsod.
;(

how low do you go on the 6x ?

 

I unlocked the values in the registry and they show up in the main profile page, but when I select anything lower than .95 and then test it the cpu info page shows I'm still running .95.

 

Actually RMClock doesn't really show the correct voltages for a processor. You can check the actual voltage through CPU-Z v1.41 and run it side-by-side.

If you actually reach the min. voltage of the CPU, you can't go any lower, because the VIDs are hard-coded into the CPU, and the changes that are made to go below the min., will revert back.
