Overheating Issue

Hi all, I use RightMark CPU Clock utility, and after trying the undervolting guide, I reset it all back to defaults because I gave up the undervolting. But now when I play BF2 the cpu overheats and turns off the computer. Does anyone know how I can fix this with RightMark?

A good suggestion to all people who think they can mess with the voltage in your laptop without any knowledge.


DON'T TRY, IF YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR DOING.


A guide with step by steps is nice, but give yourself a tap, you don't know what you are doing and you aren't helping yourself.

 

^^^ Undervolting is of no risk to your hardware. Just make sure that RMClock doesn't automatically start with Windows and you're fine. I would say that that advice does apply to overclocking, though.

 

If the behavior is new since having messed with RMClock? I suggest uninstalling just to remove the possibility RMClock is still controlling anything and trying to force settings prior?

And I agree with Bog very important to not set to run on startup I even keep this way once I have found stable settings. Really not that hard to manually start. OC only takes a little bit of tech savvy and common sense and not dangerous.

 

The only risk that you run in undervolting is an unstable system because you are in effect overclocking the CPU for that particular voltage. If you undervolt too far, your system will lock up and you'll need to restart. (As said, avoid RMClock auto-starting with windows)
Manufacturers undervolt almost all CPUs on a routine basis- it's the part of Cool 'n Quiet/Intel Enhanced SpeedStep that does the most to quash heat production and power draw. CPU makers also undervolt specific lines of CPUs, such as AMD's Turion 64 MT series, Athlon 64 & X2 Energy Efficient, and the Opteron HE line. Intel undervolts the Pentium M LV & ULV, Core Solo/Duo LV/ULV, Xeon LV, and Core 2 Duo LV and ULV.

If you have been undervolting effectively through RMClock, run the wipeout registry key, in the RMClock 'program files' folder....

 

The only thing I used rmclock for before I tried undervolting was to fix a bug in the Asus BIOS, If the battery is under 90% charged, the cpu runs at 50%, so I just used it to fix that. If I uninstall the program, and reinstall it just to fix this bug, will it still mess everything else up, or can i just use it for that one issue.

 

I am suggesting remove it. If that solves the problem you at least now know what it is related to. Then reinstall and see if you can get it to work. If you are over riding the CPU power saving features that could be causing the overheating. It might even power down when gaming at times when not needed reducing heat output. By forcing always 100% that could be your problem. My suggestions are just things to try to rule in or rule out. I do not have the answer but these are logical diagnostic steps that are free so try. You may find I am way off base but at least we will know that and can look at other things then.
