    @h3tz3r: It could well be not the cpu failing at all and be something else not liking the high fsb - lots of other components run off the fsb, not just the cpu... do you have 800MHz ram in there cause if you've got 667 it might not like the overclock

    Theriko not really, i have a 667mhz ram and when overclocking it never fails.

    @brainer: i have no problem till 2,9GHz, but i think the cooling is high enough to get more CPU power. But therefor the cpu voltage needs to be a little bit higher. Do you have a t9300 too, and which oc?

    @theriko: at the moment i dont know what ram i have, because i´m not at home. But i think its 667 because 800 isn´t supported by the m570ru.

    And the bios, have somebody one where i have have oc functions. Or has somebody a selfmade, for example with "Phoenix Bios Editor" ??

    if you dont have a prob till 2.9ghz then those 100mhz arent worth all those BSODs believe me, and about my CPU, i have the t7200 with 2ghz :p planning to overclock to 2.4 or 2.5 dunno, my max temp with 2.2ghz is 63c on CPU using Orthos

    The 570ru will downclock 800MHz ram to 667MHz but it generally runs at tighter timings and supports overclocking better

    Increasing the FSb will get the RAM to run at 800Mhz, just check Audigy`s sig :)

    Yes I know that, I was saying that as standard it'll underclock it but then it will 'overclock' (back to standard speeds) better than 667MHz ram will

    bah. this sucks, setfsb doesnt recognize my Aw m9750, and Clockgen allows me to only overclock to 2.2ghz ( from 2ghz)

    I was guessing that new Intel mobile processors for centrino 2 are compatible with our sockets (or not?) so to grant compatibility, Clevo should launch a new bios that eventually could fix the PCI-E FSB issue...

    Unfortunately I think that they will never do that even if they could...

    They not support any kind of overclocking(except on Extreme Procs, wich is made via unlocked multis), so they will never bother to fix something that happens on an unsupported environment.

    For Montevina ones?

    No way... new chipset needed: Mobile Intel 4 Series Express chipset (code-named Cantiga; GL40, GS45, GM45, GM47 or PM45).

    Please make sure that you have the SetFSB folder on C:\... I´ve re-check the code an appears to be everything correct.

    If the problem continues, please reply back... ;)

    I will make it later(to much work right now)... ;)

    Quite clearly he's not doing it for money, or he'd be charging for it. :rolleyes: And last I heard, it was neither insulting nor dishonorable to ask for, or receive, alms to support one's holy work:

    I did this to use on my T7700... so the only thing that I´m doing here is sharing with all of you...

    No money here please! I´ve made only a simple thing, the hard work was made by the autor of SetFSB(japanese guy named Abo). He is the right one that needs donations... great work that he is doing in this tool.

    I´ve only made a simple tool(.exe) that will improve the SetFSB usability. So you can OC your system with only a touch of a button or automatically if you put it on the start folder.

    I haven´t had much time these days, to much work to deal with... but I promise that I will add the CPU models that haven´t receive support yet, and maybe improve/add features to the tool.

    Thanks to everyone for the support!


    ;)

    Relax, boss - the one thing you most certainly do not need to worry about is people sending you their money against your own wishes (they can send it to me, instead, if it makes them feel better, or finally lances that boil of psychological angst they've been carrying over all those atari games they pirated on 5.25 floppies back in the '80s :D :D joke, folks :D :D ).

    The point wasn't to muck up a simple thing with complications, or to force you into a commercial position - it was, instead, a compliment in the sense that your s**t is good enough that, if you so wanted, you could earn the gelt needed to keep material body and spiritual mind together in living harmony. It was praise, boss, not a prescription or an imperative. Okey-dokey? :D

    Is overclocking T7100 possible??
    I've red once that T7100 is like a "downgraded" T7250/T7300, so does anyone know anything about OC'ing that chip using SetFSB and how much GHz could it be?

    Clevo doesn't support any kind of OC'ing. To the best of my knowledge. If they did when you had a X**** CPU in your machine you would be able to OC it via the BIOS.

    umm...As Audigy said, you can OC the X9000 via the BIOS...You can change the multiplier to give it up to a 400MHz speed boost without touching the fsb. You are however correct in that they do not support FSB overclocking

    I´ve been diging around this matter at quite some time now, and I think I´ve found the problem on M570RU when OCing the CPU and GPU at the same time.

    The PCI-E has a base frequency of 100MHz, this is fed into a clock multiplier which increases the frequency by an effective 25x using one (or possibly 2) PLLs. For example if the base clock is increased to 120MHz the differential signaling rate is now 3GB\s. The line coding used (8B/10B) should allow for clock recovery. Due to the limiting factors such as line capacitance and slew rate, the only way to increase the maximum PCI-E frequency is to increase the voltage output of the driver IC’s, even then the de-serialiser at the other end may be/still be the limiting factor.

    So the problem of M570RU is on it´s IC driver. If there was one way to increase the output voltage... maybe via hard mod... I need to dig more on this...

    ;)

    An IC driver provide the required current and voltage needed to turn power switching elements on or off, based on the logic output signals of a digital signal processor (DSP), microcontroller or other logic device.

    The problem here is that voltage is insufficient for that the wave switchings can occur, leading to an instable system.

    Then it has to be only that one machine then. I don't know any other models that it's allowed on. I have an unlocked CPU..i.e. X6800 on my D901C and no CPU OCing here from the BIOS.

    I didn't know they had allowed it on the M570RU. Thank you for the heads up :D

    I love this technician speech but I don't understand something about the real influence of PCI-E frequency... ok I share with you some results of my hours of testing: OC both CPU & GPU IS POSSIBLE only not at max. My best and stable result is T9300 @ 2.852 (PCI-E 99.0 Mhz) and GPU @ 539 869 after hours of Crysis tests. Going further causes possibility of instabilty and crashes.. consider that I have 667Mhz Kingston DDR-II 5 5 5 15.
    I think is a good news for all ,or not??
