Hello, Im Dathan. I dont want to be a butthead, but I have a question about a laptop's processor. Is it over-clock-able? Is it a bad idea, and does it have no positive results? Id like to learn for hte sake of learning, and I want to build a fully custom computer, hand made case and all. But till then I have to start somewhere right?
I have one AMD Turion 64x2 mobile TL-62 @ 2100 MGZ on a Quanta 30D1 mainboard. It uses a Athlon 64 hypertransport chipset.
Why would you? That stuff already overheats like crazy. There isnt any modern utilities made in the last 5 years for overclocking these stuff.
Ur best bet is clockgen or setfsb and cycle through every single pll until you find one that works. Chances are, there might be none. Performance wise, you will only be able to gain.2.3 ghz max, and that isnt feasible at all considering how much effort you will need to put in. It translates to something like 5% extra speed, i would rather not bake the laptop than run it.2ghz faster.
Laptop components arent built for overclocking, so your ram, bridges, cpu, and everything else wont have much head room. Well, the cpu might, but you will need a desktop board that has oc enabled with decent cooling.
A better bet would be just to replace the cpu altogether. It isnt too hard to do, just gotta take apart the chassis, id say 30 mins max on an average laptop unless if the cpu is soldered.
A 2.3ghz amd turion dual is only like $75, i would much rather get that and sell ur chip for $50 than overclocking the laptop. Yeah just not worth it imho. I need to find a good starter computer that is not diffucult to overclock and gives a good and easy basic understanding to how the computer works. And how i can tweak ones insides. Im not sure what exactly the throttle temp is. Other than maybe being a centralized temp reading.
I believe its inside the processor? Throttle classification meaning, maybe its overclockable to up to 88.c?
Max throttle of cpu? I have no knowledge of all that insides of data i put up. Although i follow some, not all. Sorry, my language was a little harsh. I didnt realize you were a newcomer because of the avatar and all.
Welcome to the eoc forum. Just dont do it. And for that pc in the garage, if you bought it from dell or whatever those companies are, chances are it wont overclock either. Only dell xps, and a few other gaming pcs custom built on ebay or ibuypower.com will allow for overclocking. You will need to buy midgrade to high end components separately from stores, namely newegg, in order to do it. And old p2 motherboards will overclock nothing like new ones, the cpu's back in 97' use mostly jumpers to clock, nowadays we have the almighty bios to do it easily and quickly in hardware. Makes sense though, thanks for sharing.
I wont bother messing around. I'm just eager to learn. Lol I have thought about a DAW build. Im a Dj and Soon to be Producer.
I also love to game, and would like to have an overall machine that will out perform what I need or want. Ive made one entry to the list so far, an intel 920 2.66 i7 gigabyte ga ex58 ud5 mobo and 6gb tripple channel ddr3 prolly dominators. Idk, I was looking at the kingston hyper-x, or equivalent.
I have no computer parts what so ever as of now. Im a welder and a craftsman.
I think its cool that people get these toys and play around. I never really knew it of a hobby.
But that is changing now, Im starting to get hooked. Thanks for the welcomes, and no hard feelings, I didnt feel you were harsh at all, just real. And thats kool.
Hi all,i have a toshiba satellite m305 vista 64 bit 4 gb sd ram integrated ati radeon 3100 amd turion x2 ultra 2.10 ghz i cant seem to overclock my GPU which is an integrated card, ati radeon 3100 with a default core speed of 500 mhz and a memory of 400 mhz or 500? (from GPU-Z 0.2.8) i already tried some OCing tool like powerstrip ati tool rivatuner CCC rage3d - says that i dont have CCC installed but i intalled it already(the 8.10 w/ ccc) but none of 'em worked. My catalyst version is i think, 8.10 is there anyway to overclock my card? Thanks in advance.
Click to expand.You know these forums are made to help people too? And not tell them google? But on topic, the Catalyst control center has an overclocker tool. When I had my 3850, I used the overdrive(ATI overclocking tool) and riva tuner along side it to control the fan speed, and it worked out pretty damn good. You can run the automated tool to see if it'll take you up any, if not then you can go up about 5-10 mhz and see if it's stable and such. But, I don't know if the catalyst control center will give you this option since it's an intergrated gpu.
