Laptop overclocking adventures

[kwchang007]

Maybe, It's only using up 69Mb of memory. (I removed all the useless services).


Here's an Idea, you might be able to upgrade you're graphics card if you're laptop uses the MXM standard.

Ahh I just ran it with everything open also. Nope can't upgrade...it's dell defiantly not mxm.

Definatly a shame, Laptops are to expensive and limited in they're options when it comes to upgrading and getting more performance.

Yeah, but what are you going to do.

I've been able to play most games on a not OCed environment on my notebook. 50fps on cod4 everything set at max 1440 x 900, nfs prostreet played 1440 x 900 everything max, 35fps MoH Airborne 1440 x 900 and 1280 x 800 Crysis (cos I did not display 1440 x 900) @ everything medium with object detail high @ 25fps. I've hit 5.8k on 3DMark06 and 21995 on 3DMark03...I'm starting my plans for 8800M GTX SLI now

Show off! I think I'll keep my laptop and just upgrade my desktop, Keep my laptop as a portable DVD player/MP3 machine/Torrenting/Byond Game hosting.

I have a hp tx1308nr
with a
Turion 64 TL-58
1.5 Gigs of ram
a 6150
the chipset of the motherboard is a 410/430 MCP
I have managed to get the FSB to 250 via ntune and coolbits (so its a 450mhz overclock)
Ntune will not let me put the fsb above 250, and no other program I tried (Clockgen...i tried more I just cant remember which ones right now...) even functions, they claim to change the fsb but show no actual change. Does anyone have any Ideas?

P.S. My temps are fine, please dont bother me about how its a bad idea etc etc, I have a hd2900 overclocked partitioning my matx case and it does not break 71c. I will make it work lol

Hi um does anyone know what the most common PLL used on i855PM laptop motherboards is? I used to be able to overclock my M755 2.0 to about 2.3, but now it dies horrendously at 2080.

Hey,

I've been reading through this thread and a lot of other ones and tried to follow your steps to OC.... I got to the step where you increase by 100mhz, and when I tried to apply that, it went back to normal and wouldn't let me... So I'm thinking it's a locked BIOS or something like that, I will try systool, but i'm new to that program . . . .here are my system specs hopefully this will help a little... I just copied these from spickets of the DxDiag.txt

Also I'm running the orthos test right now for about the past 20 minutes and it says the temp in notebook hardware control 2.0 is about 90C.. never gets above that but once it gets there the fan speeds up and then it drops back down to 85 and it's in that range most of the time...i know that' very hot compared to a lot of yours... any suggestions..?... i know i read about undervolting, but obviouisly to little makes the syste unstable, higher frequency and less power how good is that?

 

[smelskya]

92 right now.... but then it goes back down to 90...

 

[kwchang007]

It's probably because you don't have the right pll selected.

 

[smelskya]

well I tried all the pll and even the ones that froze my comp... and it was the one that was the closes to the specs at the time....So i don't know waht else to do...

 

[kwchang007]

Some don't have plls that you they have...like mine.

 

[smelskya]

Hmm.. then what do I have to do... I don't get it... so for yours you didn't have a specifid pll that worked.. how did you get around that..?

 

[kwchang007]

I couldn't, only the graphics could be overclocked on my laptop.

 

[smelskya]

Alrighty.. then how did you manage that..?

 

[thegave]

If it's ATi then you use ATiTool or ATi Tray Tools.

If it's nVidia then you throw it away and buy a new one.

No not really. I'm not sure for nVidia. Maybe Coolbits, or rivatuner or something like that.

If it's Intel GMA then you smack the shit out of it with a blunt instrument like a baseball bat or golf club, douse it with paraffin and set fire to it.

Seriously.

It will clock like a bat out of hell.

Yup, ati tool does work with nvidia cards to, but just be sure to check the front page of this thread to download the correct version.

 

[smelskya]

Ya it's ati mobility radeon x1600... i tried ATI tools and it goes back to defaults how do i get them to say? it's telling me that "the default profile canot be overwritten"... how do i fix that?

 

[Xtriny]

Riva tuner is working fine with nvidia cards. I've oc'ed my nVidia GeForce Go with it without any problem

 

[theonetruewill]

You click, "New" and create a new profile.

 

[smelskya]

I try to do that... and save it but it doesn't change anything..when ever i click out of the window it changes back to the default numbers. How do i make it so the changes stay?

 

[GeominorAI]

Greetings all.

A bit new to the overclocking scheme here, but before it gets off unnecessarily, has anyone been able to (or knows how to) overclock the CPU on the Dell Inspiron 1520 series? Clockgen fails to show the configuration screen and SetFSB seems rather risky.

Pardon if this has been addressed already; vBulletin's search feature does not work well with large threads.

Any ideas?

Idk I've tried on my e1505...but no luck.

Are you actually clicking "Set Clocks" at any point?
