Asus g72Gx heelp with undervolt.

First I read the basic undervolt guide, and I seem to be having an issue with ORTHOS. It only seems to stress 2 of the 4 cores in my q9000 and I don't see a way to change that. the reason I was interested in undervolting is because I always seem to be burning up the nvidia gtx 260m chips in these laptops. I have had asus replace 2 already once a g71 they upgraded me to the g72, and now they just replaced my g72 as well, with another. They have only lasted 3 months each! I used the hwmonitor and saw may gpu was a scorching 97c! Since my laptop is running 24-7.... I guess that really kills it. I am also looking for a guru to asist me I want this done right and possibly undervolt the gpu.

 

If someone would kindly make me a "for dummies" post on the q9000 i have been reading through the posts on the undervolting guide but im on page 112 of 500 pluss and could really use some condenced help. I have tried rm clock but as others I get very limited options and no ability to drop any voltage below 1.050v
Thank you for this info it has been great food for thought.

P.S. I was able to use this guide with great success on my gf's asus ux50v (core solo su3500) and it barely hits 48c maxxed!!! and i even over clocked it a little tiny bit to 1.51ghz!! i followed the advice and over clocked then undervolted it works like a charm!!

 

OK so far I have gotten the G72Gx Q9000 it to work some. With rmclock I was able to get my 6.0x and 7.0x multiplier to 1.050, which is the lowest possible setting in the drop-down options to run stable. and superlfm on 6.ox also is 1.050. I read that I can use the registry to be able to adjust my 7.5x clock......... but i dont feel comfortable adjusting the registry (unknown territory for me) I would like some help on this. Also lol i read that it is not possible to undervolt the gpu...... it was just a thought.

edit. I noticed that at 7.0x multiplier it is running at 1994.9ghz at 1.050v ok now im confused the crystal cpuid listed the 7.5x (i could not get the crystal to work) if this cpu is supposed to have 7.5x and im running 7.0 would it not be much slower than 1994? god im a computer noob plz dont hate
GPU nominal still running 65c+ lol while im reading on how to set this up no background...... and with just a virus scan it hit 78c!?!

 

So I feel I have fairly good success with the G72Gx........for now. I will continue to tweak and see what else I can do. so thank you all for the epic thread on undervolting!
My results:
Pre undervolt- idle [email protected], max [email protected]
idle temps 50-53c
gpu temps maxed around 90c!!
loadtemps core0-79c; core1-79c; core2-76c; core3-75c this was after about 20 min of orthos (the core2and3 were not being stressed for as per previous issue mentioned

post undervolt- idle [email protected], max [email protected] steady for 3 hours no bsod
Idle temps 49-53c
gpu maxxed at at 89c
loadtemps core0-73c; core1-72c; core2-71c; core3-71c I was able to level out the cores running them almost all the time at 100% but using orthos which maxxed core0 and core1, then I opened 15 tabs in firefox, put 4 movies in que playing in windows media player, opened avg scanner and had it running non background scan, then opened divx and qued the same 4 movies playing (They were blueray rips) this did not max it so I had it convert a wmv 1.4 gig file into mp4 and I was having to open and use stuff to keep the processor maxxxed. also rmclock, hwmonitor, cpuz, windows resource monitor, and 2 youtube videos in windows internet exploder!!!! lmoa any1 know a loader that will load a quad core to max?

 

You need to use Prime95 to stress test your CPU. You should be able to put your GPU in 2D power saving mode. I'm not up to speed on power miser mode for GPU, but you should be able to do a search on it here in the forum.

 

I have been trying to look and find out how to under volt my GPU too and no luck ... u had any luck yet??

 

Check this sweet thread out: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/505552-asus-g51vx-overheating-fixed.html

 

to control powermixer of GPU , see REB's Riva tuner tweak below.. it seems to also undervolt GPU i think... it did for mine...

So I finally accomplished everything I wanted to do I even am able to overclock to 2.4... but I felt that was a little too much High temps were about 65 deg C in stress test so I keep it around 2.2ghz.
