    should be using SetFSB 2.0 ,so i DLed it, used to use it on my desktop. Trying it on my laptop.. E6700... So anyway. I opened the program... and started going down the list of chipsets till i found one that didn't give an error wen i hit GetFSB.. which was the second one... So i clicked to move the slider one teency weency notch. And it worked... my processor went from the usual 2.66 and now its reading 2.67... temps are on 36 with FN+1 on... obviously its no big deal. But now i cant re-open the program. I double click it, and NOTHING happens. SO how do i get back in the program??? and once i do, Someone help me out with this... i wanna get my E6700 on a constant like, 2.8 at least, ya know, just a small boost. help me?

    im already top thread so this aint a bump. So, umm... computer froze up, even after i got it to restart and found the chipset that i thought corresponded to mine... (p965)... so, anywho, hard reboot needed :D... no damage, temps were fine. so it didnt spazz out... i wont be doing that again until someone in here is nice enuf to maybe help me with issues i dont kno about... does any program work on the D901c... systool said i didnt have the driver... any1 wanna help? or i just cant do it.... (i have to admit as much as i luv laptops thanks to this beast, Desktops seem easier to troubleshoot, OC, etc...)

    the D900 series have not been very good for CPU OC'ing... very unstable.

    If there is no BIOS option, then its not going work correctly.

    Is is not possible to overclock this laptop using software to change the FSB. The FSB is locked. I tried every possible way to overlock, even studying the PLL datasheet. The only option there is, is to put a Q6600 and do the pin-mod.

    Clevo designed this uniquely... like a hybrid desktop/mobile chipset and motherboard.... too unique to find a good software to OC the CPU properly with.

    damn... i knew it.... i will swear tho.. for that first shot i took at it... I could swear my FSB changed from 266 to 268.... i just did that as a test, and it showed up as that in RMClock!!... but now anytime i try to get my FSB with different clock gens in watever program i use, my whole computer locks up and freezes.
