The ThrottleStop Guide

[GamerBR]

Are there any plans on integrating some kind of fan control on the software? That would be nice, we are lacking a good fan control software for laptops.

Installed a Qx9650 into my D901C, and then tried out ThrottleStop. By letting the CPU idle, and having the voltage set to cap at 1.200, the Laptop is cooler while running at the 3.2 speed. Important to me, as I was concerned about heat as this Laptop has 8800M GTX SLI installed.

Have run for about a week now with no downside to date. Smooth and cool is a good thing. Next week i will move up a 0.5 step on the multiplier and see how that goes.

Thanks for allowing me to jump past the faster [and much more expensive] Xeon processor!

Before I started playing with the multiplier it was at 4 which is the highest internal multiplier cmos let you set to. I restarted and 2 beeps with a blank screen showed up again. So I reboot 4 or 5 times until it starts properly. At least I know the cpu is fine and my graphics cards are good. I wonder if rebooting while watching a movie caused some kind of corruption somewhere. I wonder if this problem is coincidental. So as it stands I am going to take off all the overclocking stuff off of this computer and try to put everything back to they way it was before, in case I have to send it back for warranty issues. ThrottleStop is working great on my other computer. I will just have to give it another try when I get my Clevo running properly.

ClevoX8100, try removing the battery from your laptop and unplug it from the AC adapter. Wait a short time and then plug back in. De-energize all the circuits.

I had to do the same thing when my Asus G50VT wouldn't boot because of halting during the Power On Self Test.

I haven't read all the way through this thread, sorry, but is there a way to use Throttlestop to undervolt my Core 2 Duo without fixing the multiplier?

Yes, you can do that using ThrottleStop but during my testing, based on power consumption, there was no reason not to fix the multiplier at the highest possible value.

At idle, whether the multiplier or VID are high or low on a 45nm Core 2 CPU makes virtually zero difference to power consumption as shown here.

http://forum.notebookreview.com/6369641-post5060.html

It used to make a difference on the previous 65nm Core 2 CPUs but the 45nm CPUs are very power efficient at idle regardless of what you set them to. They are designed to automatically go into the deeper C3/C4/C6 sleep states where the VID used is lower than RM Clock or ThrottleStop let you control.

If you want a low multiplier at idle, click on the Set Multiplier button and maximize that and then reduce your maximum core voltage. If you lose full load stability then you have reduced your core voltage too far and will need to increase it. I use Prime95 Small FFTs for testing which is a good enough real world test for my purposes. Some users prefer LinX, IBT, Linpack testing.

After that, click on the Power Saver feature. You can fine tune this feature by going into the Options window and increasing or decreasing the Power Saver C0% number. This feature will lower your multiplier at idle and make your computer slower but on the 45nm CPUs, it really doesn't save you much power. You can also use the SLFM feature if your CPU supports it but same thing, it changes the reported speed but doesn't do much to save power.

Ok, thanks! My max temperature using small FTT's on Orthos went from 76 to 67, thats a rather marked improvement, and my processor works fine on the lowest voltage on the highest multiplier.

I tried that a few times without any success. But thanks for the help.

Quick question, with version 2.90b8 what does 'PWR_mW' mean? In the logfile this is empty.

[unclewebb]

The new column, PWR_mw in the log file will show the battery charge or discharge rate. If you don't have a battery or you are plugged in and fully charged then this column will show 0. This number is in milliwatts so divide by 1000 to get watts. This is a reading from a Windows function that only updates about every 15 or 20 seconds. Here's an example log file and an explanation of what the log file PWR_mw column is showing.
