underclocking and/or undervolting a Celeron M 360

I have a gateway 6020gz with chipset Intel® 855GME that runs too hot, shutting down after about 30 minutes if not laid on its back. Mobmeter has the cpu at 90c after about 2 minutes of stress test.

I've ordered a pentium m 735, but in the meantime I'm looking to give the processor some relief.

 

You can't lower the clock speed of a Celeron as the functionality is locked; the Celeron line has SpeedStep disabled.

That said, your best options are to undervolt the CPU with RMClock and apply high quality thermal compound to improve heat transfer between the CPU die and heatsink.

 

I can't see my core temp in Right Mark nor do i see any way to lower the voltage. Under profiles no indexes show up except for throttling.

Do i have to pay for the pro version?

 

You cannot undervolt the Celeron M series. They lack Speedstep which is necessary for undervolting (What Bog said ^). You might be able to reduce the throttle, but not the voltages.

You cannot do anything about the high temps with that Celeron through software, so don't push it to full load.

 

1- Pentium M and Celeron M don't have built in temperature sensor. So Mobmeter must be reading the temperature of a sensor in your modo or something.

2- I used a Celeron M360 in my laptop for a year before upgrading to M735, and my friend used one before I upgraded his laptop to M740, and I'm quite sure that the M360 doesn't reach 90c when properly cooled. I would say 60-65c max. They are actually coller than a none undervolted the M735 or M740. The M735 and M740 uses a vcore of 1.344v while the M360 is at 1.24v. I even have one that work at 1.16v.

3- clean your cooling system, there might be dust bloking the exhust. Also, apply some new thermal compound such as Artic Siler.
