I have seached and searched for a solution to my problem, which is that the ATI Radeon Mobility x1600 in my laptop gets way to hot. Now, i don't really need all that power, so the simple solution would be to underclock it i think.
Now, everywhere i look, ATITool seems to be the only tool which can solve my problem and thats to bad as it is not working, well, i can't get it to work that is. When you apply the new settings, it jump back to the default values.
Yes, i have searched the forums and learned that i should either use the 24.xx version, which i have tryed without any luck or use a more complicated methode which involved modding drivers and stuff which is basicly more than i can handle.
So what do i do?
Have i missed the obious solution?
Is there a solution?
Or am i just doomed to a life with a steaming hot laptop which shuts down due to overheating if the room temperature is above 0 Kelvin?
I really hope to can guide me here cause i haven't got the money to buy a new laptop (or even a used one)
Thanks in advance
