RMclock problems on DV5t P8600 processor

Hi there,

I was trying to undervolt my dv5t with P8600 processor recently, but encountered a situation. RMClock could correctly recognize my processor and there is no 9x multiplier to be adjusted, which differs from a posting by Chang099 where he described his undervolting process with his dv5t.

What may be the problem here? I had followed(or so I thought) all the steps in the undervolting guide

 

I have a DV5-1015TX (P7350) and RM Clock couldn't recognize that either.
I could only see the 7 and 6 multipliers for mine so under-volted those 2 down to 1.000V.

If anyone knows some better tool for undervolting please post here.

TIA

 

If running XP or Vista 32, you can checkout Notebook Hardware Control.

Or use CrystalCPUID to manually assign a voltage for a particular multiplier.

 

Hm, can you tell us your exact system specs?

 

This is my system config,
Intel Centrino 2 Processor Technology
C2D P7350 (2.0GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3 MB L2)
Intel PM45 chipset
NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT (512MB)
15.4" HP Brightview Widescreen display
DDR2 RAM 3GB

 

I guess Chango99's DV5t has a P8600 which does not have a half-multiplier (max - 9x). Your P7350 has max 7.5x, and RMClock does not recognise half-multipliers, so in RMClock the max multiplier will be 7x, so you lose 133MHz per core.

 

Yes...but the OP stated he has a 8600 processor and wasn't getting the 9x multiplier

 

Yeah it looks like RMClock has some prob with the Intel P series CPU's (or maybe that is not supported as yet by it)?

 

@OP: Run the RMClock_WipeOut.reg, and see if 9x is detected. If you have a x64 OS, remember to replace it with the RTcore64.sys linked in the guide.

Or NHC, and CCPUID are alternatives (depending upon your OS).

 

(Didn't see the previous post by Andy.)
Ok so then I guess and undervolt of 1.000V would be the best I can get on the P7350?

BTW any way we can unlock the multiplier?

 

No LapBoot, it can't recognize half multipliers. I want to make sure the OP has a P8600 and not a P8400, thus no half multiplier, and no 9x multiplier.

1.000v seems the lowest RM clock goes.

Also, to the OP, as Andy stated, there is a slight difference if you have 32bit or 64bit vista, make sure to replace the RTcore64.sys on 64bit.

 

IDA is kind of a work-around, but is said to be buggy.

 

My bad, guys. Chang099 was right, I re-checked my processor and it was P8400 and not P8600. Am really sorry bout it, being too sure that mine was a P8600 too, hahaha... This is the only processor available in Japan's dv5. The other specs are similar to yours :
P8400 (2.26 GHz, 3MB L2, 1066MHz FSB)
2 GB DDR2 SDRAM
250 GB 5400rpm HHD
nVidia 9600GT 512MB DDR2 GRAM
15.4" 1680x1050 WSXGA

By the way, I went on to undervolt it regardless of RMClock not recognizing my processor. At the 8x multiplier i managed to reduce it down to 0.95V, the 6x multiplier to 0.95V and the rest kept at 0.925V (which is the default value). Had not notice much changes to the temperature, but will test the configuration more tonight.

Once again, pardon me for the mistake.

 

You gotta understand that RMclock is very outdated. Its a miracle that it even works for some of the latest processors.

It didnt even have full support for the first gen Penryns chips.

 

Is there any upto-date other tool that has support for the newer processors?
Or is RMClock opensource?

 

None so far..

RMclock is a freeware not open source.
