Eee PC 1215n Performance

[Mr.Pigeon]

1. I too have that HDD clicking, so i was willing to try that notebook hardware control, went to dl off the first post but link doesnt work, so i dled the newest version off of their site, but it doesnt seem to provide the same option as the version hes referring to. I then tried an older version I found on the net but every time I started it, it froze my system. I proceeded to remove it, but now my entire system font is like italicized idk how to fix this yet but i was hoping someone could post up the correct version...

Thanks, much appreciated

And I guess just as a data point for this thread, I was able to fix my font problem, had to manually reinstall all the fonts off of a Windows 7 USB installer I made...just in case anyone else comes across a similar problem, that was the only way I was able to fix it

For some reason, when I do the OC'ing of the CPU and downloading the app for the HDD, I cannot restart my computer without it not even turning off...and when I force shut it down and turn it back on, it won't boot up to the bios menu...the power light it on, but with no HDD activity, any help?

Take the battery out and hold the power button down for 30 seconds. This will perform a power drain on the system. Then replace the battery and boot as normal. This happened a couple of times to me and that's how i fixed it.

Well when I do that, it will boot up alright, but the problem persists when I want to restart the computer, I have to keep taking the battery out. Was this a permanent fix for you, meaning you could restart the computer normally with SETfsb on and the HDD app on after the power drain?

No it wasn't a permanant fix. The issue arises as a result of using setfsb and overclocking to the point of crashing, at least it was for me. I only overclock now when i need it and dont usually push it to the brink so i dont encounter this issue anymore really.

Hey oogmar, any tips beyond what you have on the first post for OCing with Nvidia System Tools? I cant seem to get it (or MSI afterburner) to work

I read your other post and u say that even an overclock of 10mhz makes the gpu when taxed default to 400/800?
If that's definately the case then i can only summize that because you have the the lesser model gpu (8 cores vs the 16 in the 1215n) that also they may have lowered the power limits of the device - thus limiting it to stock clocks. Although i find it hard to believe that they would do this as accurate as to 10mhz.

My advice would be to just try a 1 mhz increase on the core only, see if it takes. If it doesn't then i'd try another driver.

Any of the AO gamers here found a solution for the acceleration problem yet?
