    Hello,

    Has any Turion user tried notebook hardware control
    software (prev. centrino hardware control)? Does it work?
    Or is RMClock the utility of choice to undervolt Turion?

    Thanks

    Imran

    as far as I know you may use the latest version of NHC to undervolt Turion based systems. I use RMClock but there are users who don't like it. A third choice would be Crystal CPUID.

    RMClock has been pretty popular and I like it. But some people looks like have problems with Version 2.0. You may try 1.8. But you make sure you select Power Scheme "Always On" so that it won't conflict with RMClock 1.8. RMClock 2.0 has it own power scheme, so you would be fine.

    I tried it on my Turion and can't seem to get it to work. Options and check boxes unselectable for some reason.

    Hi Neero,

    That's what I'd suspect. The utility was called
    centrino hardware control. I guess RMClock is the
    one for Turion based notebooks.

    Thanks for useful feedback.

    NHC actually works for my Compaq R3000 AMD64 3000+. But I change it to RMClock so i can undervolt it.
