    I wanted to know how i could OC my T9400.. after undervolting my temps have dropped by 15C++ so i'm sure a little OC won't hurt.. I know that i can use SetFSB but i need a PLL.. if someone who has a Dv5t and knows the PLL so i can have a lead at least... i really don't want to open my notebook so that's why i'm asking.. I would also love to know if there's another program i can use to OC my CPU.. Thanks.

    DV5t likely uses same PLL as the DV2000. Need a pinmod to overclock it from 266->333Mhz FSB as shown here. The ICS954305EKLF PLL cannot be software overclocked.

    Appears so. Pinmod 266->333Mhz is likely it due to HP's choice of PLL. This would increase the CPU frequency from 2.53-> 3.16Ghz. T9400 Ripping.org entry shows it's been done successfully before. The SPDtable for your RAM would need to have slower timings in the 400Mhz entry as it would now be operating at 500.1Mhz.

    No. the only way possible is a pinmod, as said above.
