OC Software for laptop CPU's

I know it's not recommended because of heat issues and the relative minor gains that can be found by doing so, but I'm in the mood to experiment...........

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a free software download that will allow me to play around with the processor speed in my X205 listed in my sig?

Thanks!!!

 

You will need to find out what your PLL chip is first, then use SetFSB to OC.

 

Thanks...........will PC Wizard provide that info? CPUID? I have both of those available on this machine already which is why I ask. (don't really know what a PLL chip is)

 

No, you cannot get the Clock Generator chip's details via software. You'll either have to open your notebook or get the PLL no. from someone who has a similar notebook and has already overclocked, or checkout your BIOS update files if there are any txt files accompanying them which have the relevant info regarding the motherboard.

 

Ok, thanks Andy. Not opening this thing again, too many screws and too little time to mess with it.

 

dont know if this would work on your machine, give it a shot

I undervolt first before doing a fairly conservative overclock from 1.8 to 2ghz. That way my temps are still cooler by about 2-3 degrees when overclocked whilst undervolting than runing at stock speed and voltage. I also use a cooling pad. Personally, I wouldn't do any overclocking to a notebook without a cooling pad and undervolting to deal with the extra heat output.

Also, I would be more cautious and not push for a big overclock. A notebook is all in one small case, so more heat from one component is more likely to increase the temperature of other parts you can't monitor.

I use ClockGen for my AMD Turion, but I heard a lot of the mobile Intel chipsets don't allow overclocking (locked FSB). But really, do you need to overclock?

 

Thanks, I'll give that a shot and see what happens.

Steven, as you can see from the very first post in this thread, but I'm in the mood to experiment...........

 

Then why not try experimenting with undervolting instead (RMClock)?

 

Because I want more processing power and I'm not overly concerned about the cooling issue or power usage since this laptop runs quite cool and I never run it on battery.
