Undervolting the P-6860 with a t5550 cpu?

I'm sure this has been brought up before, but can you under voltage the p-6860 with a t5550 cpu?

I looked on Google with no hope. Would it be possible so that I can get a much battery life as possible out of my laptop?

 

look here and you will suceed.

 

Check the guide for the how-to. I run the t5550 at it's lowest voltage setting of .95v for all multipliers without any stress/benchmarking errors. I know others have too.

 

yeah i undervolted mine for kicks and giggles and it runs perfectly stable @.95 volts. It would more than likely run at .85 or lower but unfortunatly thats as far as RM clock will let you go with out hacks.

it will lower your temps a good bit though. I think i shaved about 9-12 degrees off my idle temps and about 15-16 degrees on my max temps.

 

I just finished all the testing and every thing works phenomenal!
I have my t5550 at a .95v all multipliers all stable 3 hours stress testing.

Max temps went from 70c to 57c.
And power usage went from 68 watts full load to 52 watts full load. This is of course plugged in.
So the power saving features are not turned on.

 

Sweet.....

 

Let us know roughly how much battery life you gained

Im suprised you missed the guide on google

 

Idk how I missed it. I must have typed it wrong.
Actually on my laptop when I put my power setting under "battery" it showed .95v at 1GHz. So I don't think It's going to make any difference in battery, but It will in heat out put and the amount of power my laptop uses when playing a game.

 

I'm thinking about under volting, but I read in that guide's thread that under volting will hurt performance when doing cpu intensive things like playing games? Is that true? That's when I'd want it b/c the cpu gets so hot then.

 

it wouldnt hurt performance unless your cpu has a .5x multiplier i.e. 12.5x (T9300 cpu) but there are ways around that.

on top of that, undervolting the cpu at its highest multiplier should lower your temps to some degree. i took 14C off of my cpu at load.

 

Does this work on the stock 6860 too? That's what I have right now, but I AM going to upgrade hopefully in the near future to the T9300.

 

it works on the CPU. its not specific to a computer.

 

I'm glad I found this thread!

I have a P-6860 FX Gateway Laptop as well and the CPU usually goes as high as 62C without the undervolting.

After I undervolted all the multipliers to 0.95v, the results that i got were amazing!

I tested it for approximately 45 minutes, and the max temp that I got was 54C but the temperature was almost always at 45C at a 100% CPU load.

 

lol as high as 62 C! OHHH NOOOOO, WHAT THE UNICORN!

haha mine sat at 96C sometimes on Orthos, and I thought it was hot.

 

Hehehe I get slightly paranoid about the CPU getting too much heat.
You know what they say, a cool CPU is a happy CPU
