Reccomended RightMark CPU settings fot TX1000

I recently purchased a TX1220us notebook, and I notice it runs quite warm, so I am considering undervolting it to keep it keel, in addition to getting a bit more runtime as a tablet.

I installed the newest version of RightMark (2.30) that was released a few days ago. All of the voltage settings from 4x to 11x were at 1.125 volts. I put 4x at .7V (but it only goes to 0.8V) and 11x at 1.025V and set the AC power to "on demand". The weird thing is, when not even being used the PC goes from 4x to 11x almost randomly.

For on battery I chose power saving and put that at 5x. On battery I typically use journal and some firefox, should i set that higher?

My temp varies from 54 or so into the lower 70s (59 right now typing this message)

I am just looking for the best overall performance at the lowest temp, because I kinda think my HP L2000 cooked itself.

I am kinda looking for some tips or a guide. I looked at the RightMark guide, but that is for the older versions and doesn't relate too much to the current one. http://winhlp.com/rmclock.htm

Thanks!

 

As long as the system seems to be stable and has passed the stress test at the given voltages you should be fine. I would expect the 11x to be a little lower but it can vary from one cpu to another.

 

the reason it fluctuates is because it uses CoolNQuiet to regulate itself.

 

A weird thing just happened. I came back from class and plugged it in to recharge the battery and the machine went to 11x and 1.075V with nothing running until it shut-down with an error.

It was stable at 5x, 7.75V all morning, although the battery seemed to drain faster than w/o RMclock.

I think I may just go back to HP recommended and remove RM until a better explanation can be found. According to the RM forums, the designer plans to start working on a more user friendly explanation soon .

 

I would trust a degreed engineer at HP who has probably had a few classes in electronics and thermodynamics over some dude on the internet with a fix all undervolting program.

Just stick with what HP designed. The laptop runs warm because Turions run warm/hot. I could warm my kid's milk with the heat output from the TL-60 in my tx.

 

Hi, just wanted to add to this post. I purchased the HP TX1000 about three weeks ago and being a second AMD laptop user I knew it was going to be hot. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit. I have the Turion TL-60 running at 2.0GHz and I am using:

4.0x - .712V
10x - .950V

the in betweens are adjusted automatically. So far my PC runs at 69.5-70.2 degrees while 10x (doing video encoding and the like) and runs at 45 degrees when 4x (in battery). So far no reboots or BSODs but wanted to know what other TL-60 users are using. Thanks for your input

 

"runs warm" is an understatement...i recently purchased a TX1110US. Removed all HP junl programs.

All I do is boot into Vista and with no program running, the laptop starts to heat up....super hot...maybe enough for an omlette! what gives?? Are AMDs that bad?? will this much heat kill the laptop eventually? Help!

 

I am typing this on a tx1000z. It is warm when on ac power but nothing too bad. I am monitoring the temp. 48 for the first core and 33 for the second.
