    lol. You can curse me, I can take it. :)

    And that reg hack looks interesting to say the least.

    Oh and the room has heated up 4 degrees F since I last ran Orthos for a lengthy time. My max is currently [email protected] with my fat leg partially blocking the cooling vent. :D Whats even more impressive is how responsive the system is with Orthos running.

    Are you not able to UV, or are you referring to the processor still overheating? I REALLY wanna try to get yours working properly. I honestly dont think its the processor(although it could be).

    i can UV, but they are wierd voltages. Still overheats too, and it is not the CPU, my T5450 overheated today, and it has half the wattage, and had much lower voltage, its def my cooling system.

    The fact that the fan was broken earlier has me a bit concerned. Do you know how that happened? And your sure you soldered the leads back correctly, right? Sometimes reversed fan leads can cause the fan to run in reverse. I seriously doubt this is the case, but its worth a mention.

    i had serious problems with my t9300 at first and the temps were off the charts and it all boiled down to how i bolted down the cpu heatsink. it took a few tries before i got it right and i know because after removing it you could see the paste was not being set evenly on the heatsink and the best way for me to do it was push down on the center of the cpu with a good amount of pressure and put all 4 screws in while still holding it down use a magnetic screw driver so you can work with one hand and then finally torque them all down . i know all these heatsinks are not made equally by seeing some of the temps others get with the same cpu i have so it may be abit of trial and error and your part .

    quadZ as a t9300 user can you check if your c1e is enabled (everest ultimate under cpu id) ?

    says its supported but disabled with a check mark in the box, no clue on the disabled part other then maybe because i have rmclock enabled ?

    Yea. Ours is disabled as well. Were trying to figure out why Intel did this. Perhaps it IS a BIOS thing, after all, royk.

    all i know is that i bought it like 2 months after they were released. maybe i just got a processor from a not so good batch or something?

    EDIT: nevermind...the version i had of everest was just retarded. it shows up as supported, but disabled now.

    now for RMclock...wonder if i can enable it through that.

    edit#2: yes....yes you can enable it through rmclock.

    Eh. Regardless, its not working on any of ours, so its kind of moot. I'm sure your processor is just fine. Yours came out of another machine didnt it? Maybe intel does something different for OEMs :)

    It indeed does show as enabled in Everest when switched on in RMClock. Who knows if its actually working tho.

    ok the fan was the right way, nvm, but i did what quadzilla did, and i volted it to normal voltage and its max temp is dropping like crazy, currently running the stress test and it went down from 90C to about 77C.

    I just read through this whole thread and thought that it almost definitely had to do with the spring. To my knowledge, the springs are there so that the heatsink applies correct pressure on the cpu.

    Cool. Yea, there's some weird stuff going on with certain peoples RMClock voltages. I'm not quite sure whats causing the issue, but mine seem to be fine. (knock on wood). I'm sure its just luck, as I haven't done anything differently.

    You may wanna watch the Throttle Clock readout too. It may be throttling itself, thus the reason for the massive temp drop. I had the same issue when I had that 6831 with the tilt-temp problem.

    ahhh f*ck it, ive had it with this sh!t.

    same problem still, it was throttling and that is why the temps looked low, still is overheating.

    < humming blame canada >

    applying thermal paste is no rocket science so the only thing i can think of is polishing your heat sink and/or replacing that fan,

    or alternatively you can go control panel / regional and language... and change the local to US ;)

    anyone any idea why the big discrepancies between rmclock voltage readings and cpuz/Everest pro ?

    Any version after v1.41, it will display desktop equivalent voltages for Penryns/Merom. Im guessing they removed notebook cpu support.

    For my Pentium M and T2500 still display the right voltages on any version of CPU-z

    i did go and and dnld cpuz 1.41 as you said
    but it gave an error on running (should have uninstall 1.46 + registry sweep?)
    and it gave me no voltage reading at all.

    so decided just to be lazy and ask again ;)

    Hmm. As far as I know, cpuz doesnt use any registry keys or install. Just make sure you put it in a completely different folder than the other one. Both cannot be run at the same time either.

    Yea. It does that to mine too, but nothing else. ie Speedfan, rmclock, etc. I think it has something to do with the way it polls. Are you getting correct voltages now?

    Sure. I'm game. 'Preciate it! Glad everything is in line now. You *should* be able to UV to at least 1.24 now, which *should* keep your temps at or below 80C.

    Hey nars. Try taking the back off and pushing the heatsink down with your finger a bit while you run orthos and see if that helps. That may give you a better idea as to where to start.

    wooo i think we finally have victory!

    i applied more thermal paste, and pushed very hard to make sure it spread out evenly. 8 minutes on orthos, and it did not go above 85C. idles between 37C and 44C

    if you look in your program folder for RMclock, its the RMClock_Tweaks.reg file. BUT!!! as a warning, the lowest voltage that RMclock displays before the tweak is applied is the minimum operating voltage. the tweaks.reg file is good if you have an older processor, as on some intel processors were able to UV to 0.70V for lowest multiplier.

    friggin tell me about it...i tried to rep you the other day...and alas...i couldnt. :(

    i knew about the reg tweaks with rmclock because i went through 70+ pages of the UV thread. and toyed around with it myself on this T9300 when it was in my x205.
