    I ried RMclock in my friends Dell Vostro laptop. His CPU is a T7300. His CPU should use VIDs in the range of 0.9v to 1.25v. RMclock thinks that this CPU is using VIDs in the range of 1.0125v to 1.3625v, and 1.4v when IDA is activated.

    I tested with CPUz and I saw the voltage oscillating between 0.9v and 1.25v.
    Any idea on how to fix RMclock?

    Did you check advanced cpu settings and make sure it's set on mobile and not desktop?

    +1 to Moralhazard.

    This is a common problem with RMClock on some Core 2 Duo CPU + motherboard combos. RMClock does not properly detect the machine as a laptop, so it defaults to the measurements and ranges for desktop CPU's.

    Simply change the setting under "Advanced" to mobile, and you'll be fine.
