    Maximum multiplier not being used

    I was trying to undervolt my laptop (m1330 - T7500) last night when I realised that it wasn't using the maximum multiplier, even while on high performance settings and with ORTHOS running a stress test.

    RMClock detects my max clock speed to be x11 but my laptop only runs at x6 (1.2GHz), even while running a stress test. I tried re starting, running the stress test without RMClock running and testing using CPU-z but they all just said that my multiplier was stuck at 6. I've just searched these forums and didn't find any similar questions.

    I just changed my power setting to "Power Saver" and saw that the multiplier changed to x8 and it now says the CPU clock is .8GHz.

    Any help would be appreciated,
    S.h.

    In the section of RMClock where you adjusted the voltages, can you post a pic or a screen shot?

    Here you go.

    I included ORTHOS running and CPU-z as well just incase they were useful.

    Ok, In "performance on demand", did you tick all the options for the P-states?

    Yea, but then when I unchecked 0 (SuperLFM) and 7 (IDA) in Profiles it seems to have grayed out 0 and 7 in Performance on demand. But other than that they are all ticked...

    Try an older version of CPU-Z as you may be getting incorrect readings; if you notice your VID for 6x is supposed to be .85v while CPU-Z is reading it as 1.05v

    The same happened with my M1530.

    Browse the folder of RMClock (program files) and you'll find a file called "Wipe Out" or similar. Run it, and it will turn everything in RMClock to default.

    The problem should be fixed.

    I tried an older version of CPU-z (1.40.5) and it was still showing my multiplier being 6x while under stress.

    I then added the reg entries suggested by JinRoh above and low and behold my laptop is back to running at 2.2GHz again!

    I'm now going to start from start and try undervolting again.

    Thank you both for your help,
    S.h.
