    I downloaded the latest rmclock when i did the 64bit install. When i ran the program, i had a multiplier called SuperFLM and an extra 12x multiplier. I didnt know what these did so i rolled back to an older simpler version (2.30.1)

    Anyone know exactly what it does? Just curious, if it somehow helpful

    What do you mean? SLFM is simply given as a multiplier in rmclock's profile page. The only setting you can change is the voltage for it.

    RMClock 2.35 supports Santa Rosa and provides some features otherwise not available.

    For example, the SLFM can be used for 600MHz as well as 800MHz and the SLFM voltage is available for any speed. So my T7300 spends a lot of its time at 0.90V 600MHz (ie light usage) while the normal 1200MHz voltage is also 0.90V. That 12s is the IDA (Intel Dynamic Acceleration) where one core can speed up by one step when the other core is idle. However, it's rare for a core to be idle for very long so IDA tends to be a rare event.

    Okay so i tried re-installing it again. As soon as i hit apply and let it idle it BSOD me. Ive disabled IDA so far

    What should i set superFLM too(FID & VID)? I tried putting it to 6x and voltage to 0.925v but i dont see the mhz going any lower on idle.

    EDIT: Nvm i got superflm working. My CPU-z version was outdated and wouldnt see it any lower. I saw it go on 600mhz on rmclock though. Ive set superflm to 6x @.900v

    but i still need help with IDA, what should i set this on??

    So, if I'm getting this correctly, it runs fine as long as IDA's disabled? Did you try using IDA's default voltage, which is 1.250 V on my T7250? If it's stable at that voltage you can start lowering the voltage for IDA. From my experience I couldn't bring down IDA very much without crashing.

    how do you test its stability? .. i tried setting it the same as my 11x thats when it crashed. When exactly does IDA work?

    i noticed the latest rmclock makes the core run warmer. About 4-5c hotter than the old rmclock. i kept a close eye on the temps

    ORTHOS will stresses both the cores at max multiplier which is 11x. Isnt IDA supposed to be only 1 core working?

    I was pondering about that as well flipfire. But it seems to do its thing anyway. Since when I ran orthos with IDA enabled, I would crash, however if IDA was disabled it wouldn't. I've no idea the underlying stuff, but it seems like it stills boosts itself periodically.

    I dont think you can set ORTHOS for single core stressing, cant see a setting anywhere.

    Ive kept IDA disabled because it just keeps crashing. I eventually gave up.. very happy with superflm though
