Any NHC-like utility for Windows XP?

Since Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) is pretty outdated and does not support current notebook hardwares, I'm looking for similar freeware utilities for Windows XP, to be used primarily for on-demand controlling/setting CPU performance.

I appreciate any suggestions..

 

It is still being updated, see here. Just click on the links that say "work as of May, July, August, September/October, or November".

 

Thanks! I'm aware that it is still in "a bit slow" development,
...which led me to ask if there are similar utilites available, aside from NHC.

 

RMClock is what you are looking for, I guess.
It has the same undervolting capacity as NHC.
I've used NHC on XP and RMClock on Vista, both work just fine.
There is an Undervolting guide from NBR member Flipfire available here.
Cheers.

 

You can fix multiplers (and half-multipliers), and voltages with CrystalCPUID too.

 

Thanks Baserk and Andy, will try 'em both...

 

RMClock does not seem to support Penryn processors yet... Any possible conflicts of using the CPU profiles features it has?

 

RM Clock is more dead than NHC, RM Clock has not been updated in months nor shown has anyone there shown any signs of it being updated in the future.

 

Well, NHC has been dead for a few years, good to see it coming back though. It was a brilliant software, worked like a dream with my Pentium M notebook.

 

Thanks guys!

So, it's only CrystalCPUID for now?

 

You can use RMclock to undervolt the P8600 even if your CPU isnt recognized. Penryns are supported but only first gen. Second gen isnt but you can still undervolt just fine.

John Ratsey has the same notebook and was able to undervolt to like 1.100v

 

Thanks for that information flipfire. I just noticed that RMClock CPU Profile management has no effect on the processor at all. Always performance on demand, whatever profile is selected. CrystalCPUID, on the other hand correctly manages to CPU to max, middle or minimum.
