Core Duo Overclocking

Is it possible?

Is so what applications and programs are needed?

I want to try and get my T2400 1.83ghz up to 2.00ghz speed.

 

Also, I am not worried a about temps, since it would just be like if I had opted for a T2500 rather than a T2400.

So temps is not the issue, I want more performance while im encoding some video...

 

I think it can be done, but it highly unadvised, as notebooks can't handle high outputs of heat. Also, it may cause damage to other components that may not be able to tolerate a higher FSB, if that is the way you do it.

A way back, there used to be a pin mod, that people could do, to change the FSB of slower 400 Mhz Pentium M to 533 MHz, resulting in a much higher clock. Often these required voltage increases, and this creates more heat. Core Duo may also need a voltage increase, and its difficult to cope with the extra heat.

Also, the benfits probably won't be all that good. In your simply using this for surfing the Internet or word processing, then you won't notice a difference in the speed.

 

I know, I know, the heat doesnt matter.

Does anyone know the type of PLL or Clock Generator chip on the Intel 945 chipset?

 

Cant he just increase the clock mulitplyer to get a higher core frequency without changing the FSB? All he wants to do is clock his 1.83 to the speed of a 2.0 Core Duo. If they offered on the system why wouldnt it be ok, heat wise. And Zero mabey you should read his whole post, because he stated he wanted to do it for better video encoding performance. So overclocking will help him in his case.

I dont know what kind of programs you should/could use, im not a big overclocking person, I just know that you should be able to do it. It would be just like turning your 1.83 into a 2.0. Now I dont konw how much of a boost that would give you, mabey 10 less seconds. You may want to consider clocking to 2.16 or even 2.33 (all core duo speeds so there ok) if heat dosent become an issue. going from 1.83 to 2.33 would give you a big encoding performancne boost.

 

Yeah, I know, thx sheff, basically im trying to use clockgen.

Dont know how to increase the clock multiplier...

But yes, heatwise I should be fine, plus I have AS5.

 

Bah, I tried with clockgen and when I hit apply selection I got a White Screen and had to manual reboot.

dammit.....

 

Dont go and mess things up now...If you do succede, AS5 will help with the heat issue.

 

Hopefully the 945 chipset will be supported in the next clock gen.

 

I didn't say that it wouldn't help encoding, I simply said the difference is less demanding applications. But yes, you are absolutely correct, it would increase performce in encoding.

Clockgen is only really for desktop machines, and it may not support the 945 chipset. Good luck anyway.
