    Hello Reader,

    I used to undervolt the cpu of my t61p laptop with cpugenie. A program, I think, some of you are familiar with.

    However a month ago my hdd crashed and I bought a new hdd on which I re-installed windows 7 and the cpugenie software. However it now does not accept my CPUgenie licence key anymore, so I will not be able to use the software when the trial is over!

    I emailed greenvantage several messages about my issue, however they dont respond on anything.

    So I have come back to this forum, and hope there is some one that can help me with this...

    Well, this is really something we can't really do a thing about aside from directing you to contacting the developer which you already did.

    So thank you for your replies.

    I tried to contact cpu genie many times again. However still no succes, it seems their product is no longer supported and I dont advise to buy it.

    Instead I now use rmclock. It automatically undervolts the cpu, while throttlestop only allowed manually undervolting.

    Please follow this link for instructions on rmclock:

    It works like a charm on win7 64 bit, if you use the signed driver.

    CPUGenie is great, I guess. However, I must notice that they should have provided an uninstaller for this.
