I have a FW-550 F/B (specs here: [url]. I want to overclock it to 600/800. After using Riva Tuner to set the clocks, I always run a FurMark stability test (1280x1024, 4xAA), while monitoring the temps with GPU-Z. It always crashes to a black screen (the monitor doesn't turn off, I just stop hearing anything and later I get a loud buzzing noise). The only solution is to do a hard reboot.
- It's not a temp. problem, sometimes it crashes at 60C, sometimes at 70C
- The GPU is not faulty, at normal clocks I beat Far Cry 2, Dead Space, RE5, Crysis, and Fallout 3 at pretty high settings without a single crash. All those games push the GPU load to 100% and temps go up to nearly 70C.
Some interesting things
- I had this problem in Mass Effect at normal clocks. I lowered the settings until it was almost pixelated but it persisted. I did some research and it seems i wasn't the only one, so I stopped playing the game until I could find a solution
- After this problem, I checked the Event Viewer. Apparently, they're all bluescreens. The description says "Display is not active'", with the source being "atikmdag.sys "
I want to overclock my hd 4650 on my FW. can hd4650 be overclocked well.and can overclocking get my computer hot and harm. and which software will be used to overclcok hd 4650.
7600go 1GB Ram T2400 Processor @1.83 Duo 160GB HDD
Now it was hitting 100 and eventually powering down (Mind you this was after 4 years of having the heat sink uncleaned) so i eventually decided to open it up and clean, boy was i covered in dust
i looked in the owners thread but cant find any answers...has anyone actually o/cd this laptops 5650 from 450mhz default up?
I tried rivatuner and there is no option for it and ati tray tools crashed my pc and i had to uninstall in safe mode.
Currently i cannot upgrade to the 10.3 catalyst drivers as they r not supported in vaio's(why?)
I think this is what the problem is but i was just wondering if anyone has had any success...this model has its 5650 factory underclocked to 450mhz and i know it is designed to go to 650mhz .
I asked around and people said that the 8xx Series nVidia GPU is defective and its very high risk of bricking my PC if i do so, others have said that its possible but to a small boost which is more than fine for me, becuase when im playing games or whatnot, then my screen freezes for a second.like if im playing a racing game and i have the up arrow key pressed and turning right and have them both held the game freezes untili let go of both keys and it returns like it was just frame hiccup or something nothing major but its a bit bothersome.
It still irriates me ALOT that even though Sony moved up from 7400 GPU to 8400 GS then DOWNGRADED the video ram from 128mb to 64mb which really sucks. I just sold my SZ4 for a pitiful £250 and bought an SZ60WN/C off my uncle for 350, but I feel like the overall performance of the SZ4 surpasses the SZ6 I notice a good amount of slowness...im not gonna say lag but slowness in the things i do on normal bases whether its multiple tabs or photoshop or anything else.
Now I know OVERALL the 8xx cards are defective but I heard that only some models were defective does this affect the SZ6/7? and anything I can do to OC the GPU or speed up my system by anyway.
MY ram is PC-6400 667 bus speed would i get a good speed bump moving upto a 800Bus speed RAM?
I ordered a Sony Vaio E series laptop yesterday which has a ati 5650 underclocked to 450mhz. Now I've heard that its possible to overclock it using AMDs gpu clock tool back to the 650mhz it should be. Does this mean that the clock rate of the gpu will always be set at that value or will it reset to 450mhz on restart?
Is there any way to make sure that the gpu stays overclocked always even on restart of windows?
I just want to show you how much overclock you can expect from the HD4650 Mobile graphic card. Wait for 1080P Full HD results.
I don't have external monitor to do 1280x1024 standard test, I'll post the results next week when my monitor arrived.
( Due to poor 128Bit memory controller VGA can't handle 1080P res gaming even with No AA/All settings Low & Crysis FPS stay below 25. However 720P gaming is superb & Crysis stay above 36FPS all time with NO AA/ All Medium setting)
I decided to try out Windows 7 x64 on my Z, build 7600. I download all the vista64 drivers from sonys website and installs Windows 7.
and then, I'm going to install the drivers, so first of all I go to windows update and it says I have 3 updates, I click to update, BSOD. restart, click search for new updates instead, BSOD.
Confused as I am I start to install drivers from sony instead, chipset and display driver installs fine..
I ran the intel wireless driver installer, BSOD
then i try to install shared library, BSOD. setting utility series, BSOD, event service, BSOD.
and about there I pretty much just gave up and wrote this post wondering w t f is going on.
I bought this model in Japan Z71JB, Vista 64 premium, 4go ram, 320 HDD.
The problem is after getting hibernate, especially from sleep to deep sleep and when resume i got BSOD with " multiple IRP requests complete" and ve reboot fresh start. I ve some clue that Kaspersky internet security can be faulty.
Anyone with this error? Kaspersky user? im stuck with several BSOD on resume always the same.
i bought GTA IV the oher day and installed it on my laptop so i start running it and it had put restrictions on my specs -_- is there anyway i can turn these off i looked at a few sites that say you have to run it on the command line ive tried that but it wont work :
i have a Dell XPS specs are in sig + i overclocked my dual nVidia 8700m GTs to 650 core clock 1100 Memory clock and 1600 shader clock
I'm using the nvidia official beta drivers 178.28 IRC.
Ntune will install but if i try to run it my whole computer hangs. Its not in the control panel either. Rivatuner will let me move the sliders but it won't apply my clocks.
15'' unibody. In XP now that I have decent temps, trying to overclock my GPU.
NVIDIA system tools does not show up on my control panel for some reason even though I installed it. Rivatuner is not detecting my GPU clock settings correctly nor is it changing them when I tell it to (I'm pretty sure).
Does anyone know what I should do to overclock my GPU?
I'm getting my E1705 back from repair tomorrow and I'm going to push the thing to it's limits. I used to frequent these forums before they were redesigned, and it seems my old user name is gone as well -- so I get to start back over.
Using I8kfangui, and a PA-13 or a PA-15 -- whats the easiest way to push the laptop to it's "safest" limits.
I noticed the "new" JuanLu bios lets you overclock via software now which is nice. Depending on my bios revision once I can check again, which should I pick? I hear of some folks using the GTX bios on the GS, but like I said -- I'm so out of the loop now that it's not funny.
I'll probably look into dropping a FX2500 in there at some point in the near future, is there a guide to hardmodding the E1705 like this?
Anyhow, if some veterans will chime in and give this newb all over again some guidance to do this right, let me know.
I will overclock my 7900GS, what i the best clock for my 7900gs( i had already flash my bios for the 7900, but i dont know witch max clock can i take)-- i will play Crysis, this lags!
I've had my E1705 for 4 months now, and I have unlocked my bios so that I can overclock my videocard. Now I want to see if I can overclock my CPU. It's a T7200, but unfortuanlly I can't find a thread on that any where.
i'm an owner of a m90, which i recently received from dell in substituion of an e1705.
Talking with abo, the developer of setFSB, it seems the m90 mounts a Cypress clock generator. There are real possibilities he can develop a version of setfsb that can interact with our notebook. The only thing we need now is the pll number (something like cyxxxxx).
It's written on a chip on the motherboard. If someone can help me finding it, we will probably enjoy a new crysis experience
I have a e1705 Geforce go 7900gs oc'd to 450/600. Also I have the power supply that is included with the laptop 90watts. I have seen people here in forums that o'cd there card up to 600 core or more. I flashed my rom using the 375/507 to unlock my bios and then i use rivatuner to overclock my video card coz I want to know the limit of my card. And it reached 455/600 so i underclock it to 450 just for safe distance.
Now, I am using ntune to o'c my card and there is no testing whether it will work with the core I specified so I assume again that its 450/600.
My questions will be,
1. What is the max core/mem overclock that is safe for my 90 watts power supply w/o increasing the voltage to 1.24volts?
2. I create a profile in ntune that I enable the overclock (450/600) everytime I will play 3d games and I get it back (370/507) . Is that ok? Will it harm my videocard?
I got a rev 1 card. I am using a windows vista w/ dell performance driver, 2gb ram and 1.73ghz core duo cpu. Weird I got 152 increase in score in 2005 3dmark when using vista to xp . My score is 7196. And also I don't want to use nibitor to o'cd my card .
Can it be done? I have never dared to overclock a laptop due to them being so hot in the first place but i was wondering if anyone has tried on this laptop yet?
I have an 5920G laptop I want to upgrade some components on it in the future. I was thinking in the meantime, I want to try get as much as I can from the current processor, a T5550 (living tissue over metal endoskeleton)
I'm actually surprised information on how to do this is so scarce. Surely there is a way to overclock this model?
The current cpu temps dont really go past 60c, so I think I'm comfortable even if it raises another 20c or so. But I cant find a single method to alter the clockspeed.
So has anyone done it? Or knows how to go about doing it?
Overclocking the 8600 was a no-brainer, just requiring non mobile drivers, and I've been running it permanently overclocked to I since the day I got the laptop about 2 years ago with no issues.
Its about a 25-30% increase in performance across the board! To be honest I dont see why anyone should be without it. I couldn't stand using it at stock speeds.
A overclocked 8600 just barely made games playable at decent settings even 2 years ago, although thats getting a bit slack now also.
I really can't figure out why I can't overclock my GPU (in sig) while others with the same cards and even the 9200M GS can overclock theirs..so, fellow Acer-mates, are there any of you who have problems overclocking? Or are there any of you who at least had success doing so? Check this post for the details of the problem..
I'm looking into doing a review of the laptop, but not until I really really know my lappy from the inside out.
Just bought an Acer Aspire 6930Z for multimedia purposes but I wouldn't mind playing some low end games on this like Left 4 Dead but I know I need to overclock to at least play it on the bare minimum without lag.
I have experience overclocking proper graphic cards with dedicated vram but for a onboard card, I have absolutely no idea. Can someone tell me what program I should use and what values I should use? RivaTuner is what I use normally. Please don't tell me to slowly raise the bar by bit by bit. I'm too lazy to spend that much time on a GMA. So can a 4500MHD overclocked user tell me his/her values used?
if it is possible to safely overclock the 2.8 ghz cpu on a macbook pro to run at speeds above 3.0? Intel's website lists that the 2.8 ghz cpu has a "turbo" mode. Has anybody tried this? Also is it possible to safely overclock the GPU? has anybody tried it?
Couple things Bought from Dell 3+ years ago Just installed a new hard drive with Vista Ultimate Core Duo @ 1.88 Running @ 1.00 Original Ram: 1000 Just installed: 4000, rated at 3320 Intergrated 945G GPU: Maximum allowed memory is 240 Current memory is 42ish, never changes .....
