also, where are you guys going to get the additional power supply from with these overclocks since a stock brick is at it's limits supplying power to a maxed out system spec-wise?

bottom line is that you have more than clock speeds you must keep in mind when you do hardcore overclocking.

this is true, in the summer even with all the air conditioning in the room I am most probably not gonna be able to keep the same clocks and GPUs volts. But hey, I've got 2 options: to take a small break and spend more time with my newborn daughter and familly or to downclock/reflash the bioses with default voltage. Which is gonna be?

I know that there is more than clock speeds, I've done this for so many years. As an example I have disabled all the unnecessary things in BIOS like LAN and bluetooth, I have undervolted the CPU which saved me some good watts, I am never using my screen at full brightness (i can't stand it like that it is bad for editing pictures, the image is so blown) which also saves power etc. M1730's power brick is 230W though.

And there is another thing. You guyz are saying that the GPUs temp is so high with overvolting and overclocking but I can tell you that it is ONLY 3-4 deg. higher than stock, and if i'm reaching now 86 deg in full load, when stock I had like 82 deg. Talk about shorter lifespan of the chips - there is no way I can believe that 4 deg. more will shorten significantly the chips' lifespan in fact it'll not make any difference at all, trust me. Anyway I don't plan to use this laptop for gaming either heavily or not for more than 2 years.

in my house I spend most time in the lower 2 bedroom area theatre room etc.

its sunken in the earth and is cool as heck in the summer, heck I gotta turn on a baseboard heater somedays cuz my roommate turns off the heat to conserve cash.

Has anybody tried this with a q6700?

Thanks,

For the moment there is no known hardware hack for the q6700.

Does anybody know how much the Q9450 can be pushed in the 9262?
Since it is out in Europe, I was wondering if anybody had one and pushed it.

There is no way for the moment to push it. BIOS or software it is unknown for the moment how to change the FSB in order to get higher frequency.

yea i tried the beforementioned hack and it works... ran cpu-z and got da same specs dat da first pic in this post shows... it still shows 2000 mhz but thats under normal load... windows system settings show it as 3.0 ghz... so thanks guy for the hack i will be part of the testing team now so if my pc blows up... i will post a feedback.. wait no i wont.. i wont have a pc.... big joke here guys im praying to all da pc gods dat nothing bad will happen

and by pc gods i mean the espers from final fantasy 3

Did you do the two pin or one pin mod?

[ARGH]

i bet you don't even need to run max fans since the cpu fan ramps up based on cpu temps, anyway. having said that, has anyone done this mod with running normal fans? i would love to know the idle and load temps!
