Laptop overclocking adventures

[Tyrael]

My mate has this cooler. It's silent and totally ineffectual, See if you can get something with a 120mm fan in it.

OK...I'll try to look for a 120mm fan. But, its going to be hard to find this laptop cooler.

Note: Could you plz tell him that...I need a little help finding a good cooler.
If you can....that would be very greatfull of you.

Thats all I can find so far thats any good.

well it was a no go with the pin mod... got the proper pins done up, booted the system up and after everything came to life the system shut down.. pulled everything apart to double check the mod and despite the mod being intact the system still would not do anything but power up and down with the mod present.

thankfully both the proc and mobo are alive and well after this failed attempt. going for FSB OC'ing my max stable thus far is 9x267 (3-3-3-8 1T). the board has no PCI lock or at least ClockGen reports back 44MHz but so far so good. still think i am going to improve upon my portable USB water cooling system so onward with that.

Thanks for your help Theo. I'll order the product there.

Cheers!

ah the disappointment of waking up knowing you were not successful in your OC endeavor... i knew my laptop only handled 62W (1.4v) Mobile A64's but i was hopeful. damn.

spoke to soon as 9x267 did not pass an overnight run of Prime95 (system rebooted).. damn. 10x240 3-3-3-8 1T seems to be the final frontier. damn.

Are you trying to overclock your RAM???
Dude....you're out of your minds, if you're going for that area.

Note: Just be carefull on what you're overclocking.

Edit: Mine is 4-4-4-8 on the crossfire RAM (Dual 2x 1Gb).
But, they're cool!!

Get yourself a better heater!!

well i was able to get my acer aspire 1642 from 1.73 to 2.5 and stable too thanks this guide rocks

Are you talking about your CPU???
Well...if it is....Excelent!

Real shame dude- but now you know you tried. I've been considering getting a Pentium M745 (not a M750 like atm) purely to pin mod it to the M750's FSB to get higher cock speeds.

Real glad to have helped mate.

RAM is not being overclocked (i am using the 166 divider). the CPU/FSB is.

well in all the original mission with my laptop was to get the temps down via water in the form of something that i can take around with the system and so far my current water cooling concept does that for me. i had hoped to be able to OC at least 20% as a by product of that but a 10% OC is all i am apparently going to get without more voltage..

pmrdij can you give me your standard and overclocked clocks please. Im putting up a list on the first page.

yeah the cpu. it blew my mind!! i am not at home right now to look but it was a little over a 40% increase. and the ddr2 went from 533 to almost 800. i havent tried orthos or prime 95 on it yet but it make it through a 2 hr stress test with everest ultimate just fine. it got kinda hot 68C so i slowed it down to 2.2 and did it again and all is well. i am totally impressed with this laptop. and i got it for free cause the screen didnt work. i replaced the fl inverter and all is well. and vista home premium reuns great on it. woo hoo.

Nice a free laptop

I've made myself a laptop docking station cooler!
Here is the concept!

I'll give the detail to the company later.
------------------------------------------

 

[pmrdij]

pmrdij can you give me your standard and overclocked clocks please. Im putting up a list on the first page.

standard:

CPU/FSB/Memory
11x200 1.40v
3-3-3-8
200MHz
1T
TREF 3072 cycles

GPU/Memory
i'll put this up someday but it's a fair bit lower than the specs ATI has listed for the MR9700 (450/250)

--

OC:

CPU/FSB/Memory
10x240 1.45v
3-3-3-8
166MHz
1T
TREF 3072 cycles

GPU/Memory
450/260

--

seeing as Tyrael posted another cooler concept i figured i would let everyone in on my pondered water cooling upgrade for the laptop to see if i can further reduce the temps (temps right now are far better than the stock HSF but we all know cooler is better). the idea is as follows:

1. take a nice cheap PSU ($15 @ Newegg)
1A. paint it really nice like (perhaps have it powder coated --> not that expensive compared to a can of Rusto or Krylon considering how much painting would need to be done by an auto body shop). in my case i have a storied history with aerosol so i'll paint mine
2. DangerDen just came out with a nice little pump that only requires 8v for $45
3. get an 80mm BlackIce radiator from them for $19
4. get a Thermaltake Aqua Brazing W2 for $37
5. Dimension Engineering AnyVolt Micro for $20
optional 3.5" reservior

i am sure you all know where this is going --> the PSU casing serves perfectly as the body for all of this (and provides the 80mm fan for the rad). the thing can even be made to be a contained water cooling system for many other applications (block not being factored into that statement). nice and compact.

basically it has come down to a Cowon A2 PMP or this upgraded cooling idea. at this point the leader in that argument is the Cowon A2 seeing as winter is on us and PDX is now constantly in the low 50's. decisions decisions...

There will be a second concept for ASUS 17 inch laptop docking station.
I'll need to refurbish the looks on Autodesk Inventor 11 Pro.

Cheers!

Edit: You guys will love my design! But, I'm going to make it bigger so...it could fit a 20 inch laptop!!

 

[TAEL]

i cann't run Notebook Hardware Control on the Vista . I see this error . How can i run it ?

beyond the looks of this dock what kind of fans are you going to be using?

The startup object couldn't be started in a timely manner.

Error! Object couldn't be started.

- Robert (pMr)dEATHiNjUNE

4x fan (70mm x 70mm x 15mm)

The startup object couldn't be started in a timely manner.

Error! Object couldn't be started.

So how can I run this program ?

 

[pmrdij]

don't run Vista so i've no immediate clue short of shutting down the UAC (User Access Control) if you haven't already. have you tried Systool yet?

- Robert (PmR)DIJ

No , I haven't test it. I want a program with abilities of Notebook Hardware Control , but Systool is for overclocking , yeah ?

 

[theonetruewill]

No , I haven't test it. I want a program with abilities of Notebook Hardware Control , but Systool is for overclocking , yeah ?

Is it possible that you could just delete the startup entry (using ccleaner etc) and then just run it manually after startup? I'm pulling at straws here...I don't have Vista.
