    You could ask the author of the program to add your PLL (if you know it)? If nothing else, at least you don’t have to worry about frying your CPU. :D

    I know the motherboard version and chipset though, is that good enough?
    Chipset: Pm965

    It would be nice if it were that easy. You need to know what’s keeping track of the clock, so I believe more information is needed. Try studying this site, and see if it helps. If someone with your notebook has the PLL, then you should be able to use it. I tried using this site for my D600, but it never worked out for me.

    The PLL (and therefore the clockgenerator) is motherboard specific, not chipset.

    So different motherboards with the same chipset may very well have different PLL chips and require different clock-gens.

    Equally, motherboards with different chipsets could also have the same PLL and would therefore work with the same clockgen.

    So it's not enough to specify your chipset when looking for a clockgen.

    Hi Audigy!

    You have a rock solid automatic tool, thanks for sharing!

    I was wondering if you ever purchased this gem. If so, did it work and where did you purchase it from?

    Can this work for an HP or the M570TU?

    I have a newb question....what exactly is the "clock generator" and how do I determine what mine are on either my HP or my Clevo

    Hey there emike09, fancy that meeting you in here.

    Let me know what you find...when you find it!

    Also, what is clock generator?

    Heres what I found:

    The DCG (Dynamic Clock Generator) generates all clocks, resets, power and clamp signals, and sequencing for the chip.

    The DCG consists of three PLLs. One PLL has a fixed frequency at reset, the other two are variable.

    The fixed PLL clocks the processor at the 100% performance level and is used for the AXI, APB, and other fixed system clocks.

    All I can get is up to 2.7GHz and nothing above it. The PM45 chipset is still not yet fully supported.

    The information that SetFSB development needs for implementation is as follows.
    1. the motherboard(/PC) name
    2. the chipset name - PM45 ICH9
    3. the clock generator name

    Thanks...

    This is useful info...

    I am not looking to OC tho...

    I just want to fix the FSB so the CPU clock stops changing
    between 6 and 13 or 6 and 11.5

    Hey guys. Just joined, but have visited the site a lot before this. I am assuming this doesnt work for mine because it says that it has oc to x.xxghz but cpuz says nothing different...

    Could you add support for Compal Notebooks ? They are so popular and still no oc support!

    Here are details:

    Intel Platform Santa Rosa

    Northbridge Intel Crestline-PM PM965

    Southbridge Intel 82801HBM ICH8-DO

    Clock Generator ICS 9LPRS365BGLF

    Would you add this one?

    Where do you find the clock gen for a system?

    You might want to send that info directly to the developers:

    The over clock works for an Asus z37sp with t9500 (up to 3GHz without changing the voltage :D) . I think it depnds more on the proc than on the mother board.

    Hm? What are you about dude? I can't use SetFSB to overclock my processor because it does not support my clock generator ICS 9LPRS365BGLF. Yours is supported so you're lucky guy.

    Well, bad luck. I just copied the files that were indicated for my proc on the first post of this topic (sorry, I made error it is a T9300 not a T9500). I thought that for you would be enough just to take the files for T7500 and it would work.

    Open up the notebook, and look for the clock generator on the top side (keyboard side) of the motherboard....

    yeah, it "works" up to 2.7Ghz. after that(2.8Ghz and 2.9Ghz) Orthos comes back with errors and warnings(temps stay in low 60's to high 50's), and stops running. once i get to 3Ghz i get the bluescreen everytime.

    You also have to change the voltage. I was lucky and it worked up to 3.0 (I used wprime for testing) , but it did not work for 3.1 and 3.2. I am not sure , but I think that you could use rightmark to change the voltages. If you can not change the voltage than that is it. Also keep in mind that when you increase the FSB you also the memory speed changes. In a way you overclock also the memory. That might also give troubles. If the memory is oveclocked than sometimes also the memory voltage has to be increased

    The GPU frequency is also OCed. So, the chances of going unstable is 3x....

    Andy- i haven't noticed any graphics issues when running stress tests. I run the ATItool at the same time as orthos when stress this machine.

    k so assuming that my chipset supports OC with setFSB (the laptop im getting has "Intel® PM45 Chipset + ICH9M") does setFSB provide the tools to make an exe for my cpu like there are on the front page?

    I'm not sure about making the exe, I have not done that with my system yet. However, the PM45 chipset is still not fully supported yet. Nobody can seem to find the clock generator for submitting it.

    I noticed that your memory is DDR2-667. If you can, borrow some DDR2-800 from someone and try again the 2.8-->3.0 GHz overclock. I have a hunch that it will work.

    If I have some free time tomorow, I will work on those... that´s a promise! ;)

    By the end of the week I expect to finish all the support of the remain CPUs... maybe add the Montevina platform ones...

    The problem is not in the CPU or in the platform, is on the clockgenerator...

    The PLL used on M57xRU models is the same used on D901C models, supporting 667/800/1066/1333Mhz FSBs.

    So the problem here is on DDR3, wich requires a new PLL because of the new JEDEC voltage and frequencies...

    I don´t know yet if the PLL is similar on Montevina ones, but I can always add support of those CPUs and ABO can add the PLL control later...

    Ohh 890Mhz on stock 667Mhz 5-5-5-15 1.8V modules... thats really good..

    Wich ones are those? Whats the chip maker? Micron? D9s?

    Stock 800MHz 5-5-5-15, from A-Data (ADOVE1B16).
    Runs @ 667MHz 4-3-3-4 is also no problem. :)

    Good modules :D

    Don´t lower the tRAS(last one) value to much, or you will have problems of data corruption on your RAM... 4-3-3-9 or 4-3-3-8 or 4-3-3-12 are the bets values...

    If you give only 4 cycles to the tRAS, the controler will wait only 4 cycles until the next access to the memory can be initiated, wich is not sufficient for CAS 4 and will make errors on the data inside them because the cycle is incomplete.

    ;)
