My P8800 reaches 97 Cels. when I run Orthos, and today I tried playing COD 4 Warfare, then it went to 99 Cels. degrees and my Z was blowing FIRE from the vent.
Now, I'm planning to use RMClock to undervolt my CPU, my system specs is in Signature, except that I Updated from Vista SP2 64 to Windows 7 Pro 64 .....
I've been using RmClock to undervolt my Dell Inspiron E1505 for awhile under Windows XP and its been great. But recently I went from XP to Windows 7 32bit, it stopped working. It'll just run the default voltages. I've tried running it under administrator and Windows XP compatibility mode but still doesn't work. I was wondering if anyone knows how to make it work under Windows 7 32bit?

Is it the same motherboard or a totally different motherboard. My Laptop currently has a P8800 [ 2.66 GHz 3MB L2 cache)
I'm currently thinking of buying a Sony SR series laptop, but unfortunately here in Sweden we only get two configurations:
Vaio SR49 - P8800, Radeon 3470 256MB
Vaio SR41 - T6400, Radeon 4750 512MB
Since I would like P8800+Radeon 4750, the only possible way seems to get a SR41 and upgrade the cpu. Has anyone here got any experience on upgrading a laptop CPU? More specifically, upgrading from a T-series to a P-series.
I guess they use the same motherboards, so I can't imagine it would be incompatible, but I'm wondering whether it requires any BIOS changes which would be hard to do in a laptop bios.
I'm having trouble sourcing the screen assembly (the bezel or surround rather than the screen itself) for a Sony TZ series. Is there a site that can show me part numbers on a diagram..
I can't look at the machine in question until next week to find out the part numbers directly..
My z arrived last week but was out of the country. Spent the past few hours getting settled in.
Here is what I'm looking at on the Windows Experience Index (along with my computer's specs):

First things first: The new Z is the best laptop I've owned so far. End of story. Had MBP, MBA, AW m15x and several Dells, but nothing like this.
Second:
Im not a big fan of hardware overclocking/undervolting (anymore). (Referring to the "Insyde hacking" thread.)
Ok, with that in mind; how do I software undervolt the mobile core i7 processor?
Tried good old RMClock, which doesn't work. (It hasn't been updated for years, so I didn't expect it to).
CPUgenie... didn't work.
Crystal CPUID.. didn't work.
Now I'm out of own ideas, started searching. The only thing related to my "problem" (which actually isn't a problem, I'm just a big fan of undervolting and want it that way), is this thread:
ThrottleStop thread here on NBR.
Downloaded it, tried it... doesn't work. I don't get access to the voltages.
questions:
1) Is there a rmclock equivalent for osx for undervolting the cpu?
2) Is there a program in osx that allows recording gameplay footage?
3) And lastly, the 17 inch base model includes a 2.66ghz cpu but I couldn't find out what model it was exactly. Anybody know what the model number is and the specs on it? (l2 cache, etc)
hey im looking now for a xps 13'' and i dont know what taken between the 2.53 p8700 or the 2.66 p8800 i saw a couple of benchmark but it doesnt mean anything to me ...

This is a description of how to cool down the XPS machine, e.g., the CPU
and all the other chips. Under specific circumstances, the GPU and CPU
temperature can be lowered by 5°C and 20°C, respectively.

The Dell Client Deployment Pack 1.0 supports the following Dell

T500 , T3500 , M6400 , R5400 , M6500 , R5400 , T3400
This suggests that the Latitude numbers are what everyone assumed they would be. The M6500 has arrived but, so far, Google isn't unearthing anything about the E4310, E6410 and E6510.
Do outlet items have tracking numbers when they are shipped? It's been 3 days and it still says data unavailable. On the other hand, the S2009W I ordered with the XPS sale event had a tracking number the moment it shipped.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI've had a flickering screen problem with my NX7010 for a while now and previously asked about it here:
What part do I need to fix the screen on my nx7010?
Since then I've changed both the LCD cable and the inverter but flickering problem has not gone away. I'm now assuming it's the backlight but as I've heard the backlight is very difficult to change, I'm hoping to pick up a cheap screen somewhere.
The service manual says these are the options for the NX7010
With carbon finish for use with
HP Compaq nx7000 notebooks
15.4-inch, WUXGA - 337006-001
15.4-inch, WSXGA+ - 337003-001
15.4-inch, WXGA - 337008-001
How do I know if my computer is WUXGA, WSXGA+ or WXGA? Are these interchangeable?
Also, I've looked on eBay and have seen LCDs with part number 337008-001 listed but they don't mention compatibility with the NX7010. They do say they are compatible though with the X1000. Since it's the same part number can I assume that the X1000 and NX7010 use the same screen?
Lastly, I've also seen screens listed on eBay with the part number SAMSUNG (LTN154X1 - L02) and again, it says compatible with 337008-001. Is this LT part number now also an option for me?
I am doing a lot of work with excel spreadsheets and I was wondering if there was a keyboard shortcut in Numbers that is similar to Ctrl-Shift-down in excel. Basically a keyboard shortcut to select a full column of cell entries that have a value in it. I can't for the life of me find it.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI received two of the incorrect travellite modules from Dell so far and the third one seems a bit sketchy as it rattles around in the bay as if isn't quite tall enough. The part numbers don't match up with what I see on the accessories site either. The latest one I received (on the left) looks like the one for the E6400 and carries a sticker with 0M011C-38561-87M-05FT-A00 on it. The ones on the right which didn't fit had 0H022G-69400-88U-01C0-A00 on the sticker. Can anyone confirm if the one on the left is in fact the proper one for the E6500?
View 9 Replies View RelatedOn my Dell XPS 14z laptop, on certain websites when I go to type it comes out numbers going in numerical order. So if I type out 'Hello there' it would be 01234 56789 and the numbers would restart again from zero. This only happens on some websites such as Tinychat. On others like Facebook it's fine and types normally. I've already tried restarting my computer, and I don't see a num lock key.

If i'm in firefox typing in the google search bar when i press 1 for example the keyboard will beep, firefox will go into full screen mode and the text box will start to auto-fill with 1111111111. it does this no matter what number is pressed; except 5 and 6.
Â
Same goes if i'm in word, except it will bring up the save as box and start auto-filling in the fill name with 111111

The only way i can type 1 at present is to use the on-screen keyboard.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've been attempting to undervolt my laptop following this guide The "Undervolting" Guide
Using RmClock, I reduced the voltages to the minimum and ran Orthos for 12 hours.. without a crash... It seems sort of wierd being able to reduce the voltages to the lowest amount allowed for all of the multipliers,
My new MacBook Pro 15" just arrived via FedEx!
I was just wondering if there's any way to undervolt it in OS X like there is with Windows computers?
So, the famous notebookreview undervolting guide is aimed for computers running windows, so I'm wondering if there's a guide to undervolt cpu/gpu under OSX? Since opening the computer to apply AS5 (and void warranty) isn't worth it, undervolting is the next best thing to dropping massive temps for doing virtually nothing.
View 10 Replies View RelatedI am currently working on a ThinkPad Edge 15 0302-2BU for a client of mine. The system is able to POST and I can enter the BIOS but the UUID is all zeros and the Machine Type Model, System-unit serial number, and System board serial number are all blank.
Â
I went to the support page for this model and downloaded the ISO file with bootable BIOS update utility for BIOS ver. 2.20 (82ET80WW) I updated the BIOS in case there were any issues with the current BIOS release. Rebooted then went to update the model number off the bootable utility. I entered the model number, Updated, and Rebooted again. Still having the same issue. The model number didn’t record after I punched it in.
Â
I am still able to POST and get into the BIOS configuration. The system will not load an OS or boot off a CD into something like Windows PE.
I'm not sure if Windows not being able to load is due to the BIOS or not but I'm inclined to think so since I have trouble booting off CD.
I get how to do it, but what do you guys recommend settings wise and what program should I use ?
View 8 Replies View RelatedSo I recently installed Ubuntu 9.10 64bit on my M1530 and have a dual boot setup with the other OS being the NSA's Windows 7 64bit.
This is my first Linux experience and I am rightfully enjoying it. Thus far I have been able to figure things out OK, but I am a total Linux newbie and dont know of a way to undervolt.
I havent figured out if its possible to run RMClock and I dont know of a Linux alternative.
Most the stuff I find on google is years old and Im thinking there have been better solutions since then .....
I want to undervolt my Presicion M4400 as per this guide:
The "Undervolting" Guide
A few questions as I embark!
1) Does it matter how much power my M4400 draws when I do this? That is if I later attach USB drives, add a 2nd hardrive to optical bay, should I take these into account? I assume no but just checking.
2) After doing the first stress test I got max temps of 76C on CPU, after lowering the max 10.0 multiplier voltage and running it for 10 min I got max temps of 79C. Something must be wrong?
In RMClock's CPU info page (see pic. 1) the "current" 10.0x multiplier reads 1.1250V when Im doing the stress test although I've set the 10.0 multiplier to 1.1500V (default max is 1.2500V) on the profile page (see pic 2).
Shouldn't the read outs correspond with the set max voltage? Also on the RMClock CPU info page (see pic. 1) the "maximal" 10.0x readout is 1.2500V which is again different from the set 1.1500V.
Is this normal or have the setting not been saved or something?
3) On the advanced CPU settings page my thermal monitoring is not checked (see pic 3) this differs from the Undervolting guide screenshots and is not specified if these should be on?
Does anyone here use RM Clock to undervolt their CPU's for better battery life and production of less heat with regards to the CPU.
I use it and the lowest I can set it to is 0.95, I have selected mobile in the advanced settings CPU type. My results are:
T8300 CPU
8x-10x multipliers set at 0.95
11x at 0.975
12x at 1.00 .....
