Undervolting/tweeking new V2000Z

I just picked up a new one with a ML-32...is there a tutorial or sticky somewhere that will help me figure out what I am doing? Also, are there any other common tools for this model to tweek other settings like the video? Thanks.

 

If it's working, don't fix it. (i.e. don't undervolt)

 

Where's the fun in that?

I have my ML32 undervolted to 0.95V at 1GHz and 1.25V at full speed, using CrystalCPUID to manage power. Most people prefer RMClock. Results vary quite a bit between individual CPU chips. Generally you just stress the CPU at a given speed/voltage with your favorite stress test program (SuperPI, whatever), find how low you can go before the machine crashes, and set the voltage a couple of notches higher.

If you're not going to max out the CPU load very often then undervolting isn't worth bothering with.

 

Ah, I misunderstood. I thought that it would help with battery life.

 

It will help with battery life, just mostly when you really push the CPU. If your CPU spends most of its time idle then undervolting isn't going to help battery life much.

 

Yeah, who needs lower temperatures, better battery life, and less fan usage? Look at sig.... yeah, it really helps to obtain all of these.

 

Im also curious about undervolting, so far its running fine but if i were to max it out im sure it would be better if its undervolted. Is it time consuming or difficult? I think i saw a post on it by chinnna - i'll try to find it, in the meantime if anyone has any easy to follow steps leme know. Thanks!

heh i got my ml-30 undervolted to .9v -1.075v

 

Based on my tests, undervolting helps the most when the processor is under load.
