    I recently Purchased a M570RU that has a T7500 C2D in it. i am fairly new to Oc'ing, and want soem decent advice on how to go about it.

    I tried this once i stablized my system the other night with Setfsb. i found what i beleive is the correct PLL, and entered into the SetFsb program and it grabbed it, and seemed to work.....my question is this,

    Cpu-z still shows tht the clock speed is 2.2ghz. the parts of cpu-z show that the clock speed initally was 1596.0 with a 8x multiplier. when i bumpped the clock up to 225mhz, it was showing 1843, with agian a 8x multiplier, occasionally it would jump to a 11x multiplier, which would make more sense since the FSB is normally 800mhz, with the fsb set to 900, does that mean that im clocking it to 2.475ghz? and if so then why does cpu-z only show the lowered numbers. any advice or thoughts would be appreciated.
    thanks

    Check your windows power options and make sure you have cpu set for 100% always: right click on taskbar power tray, 'power options', 'change plan settings', 'change advanced power settings', 'processor power management'. Make sure min and max state for ' plugged in' is set to 100, or just use high-pro power plan. This will keep windows from throttling the multiplier, which i think is causing you some confusion.

    thanks that was it, it was set to 5% default i guess..lol....got it going to 2.6ghz right now, all the temps are in the 46 range while doing some multitaksking& whatnot, what Temps are acceptable? and at what temp should i be concerend?
    thanks

    I would say 70C up to 80C should be your safety margin.

    Yep, although anything up in the 90 range won't cause a meltdown, it does however lower the life-expectancy of the chip and may cause stability issues, especially when over-clocking. I run a very small tray app called CoreTemp to monitor the CPU, does not require install or registry integration. Just put it in a folder and make a shortcut in the startup menu. It does logging to: every ten seconds it will show you temp, load, and speed.
