Hi all,
I'm new to RightMark and these forums. I am loving this utility! Using undervolting, I have been able to reduce my laptop's heat from a whopping 78 at full load to 63!
I actually reached the minimum selectable p-state, which for my computer is 1.05V on my 2 available multipliers (x6 and x7 - I have superLFM and IDA switched off).
I see there is a checkbox for "custom p-states", and since I never had a stability issue, I'm itching to notch it down even a little lower. Is this safe? My thought is that undervolting's only risk is the same risk of doing a hard-reset when things don't go right.
If I can get stability at an even lower setting, I may try to overclock it just a bit... nothing major, but keeping the temp at 65 or below at full load).
So, I guess my questions are twofold: Can I get my voltage even lower safely, and is overclocking a laptop, even in an undervolted environment, still considered a bad idea?
I have a Intel core 2 quad at 2.0 GhZ per core.
Thanks,
Dan |
