    Underclocking

    I have downloaded RMClock and once I figured out how to set it up it does exactly what I needed to do. To all who suggested cleaning the fan/heatsink/vents, I have access to an industrial compressor at work and that was the first thing I tried, but thank you for your suggestions. The CPU...

    Temperatures

    Just because a sensor exists on the pll chip does not mean it's in use, I've had speedfan installed on so many different motherboards and some of the sensors report temp's of negative 47C. or 275C. Unless you can confirm the reading with another method it's possibly not in use. I also have had a...

    Underclocking

    To answer all the questions... It's always been hot running but it hasn't been a problem till last week. I installed speedfan a few days ago to monitor the system temp but it did not find the fan controller, speed sensor or voltage sensor. I have a utility supplied by AMD to monitor CPU...

    Try removing the RAM and cleaning the contacts, or replacing it. I've had the same sort of screen corruption on a desktop computer with built in video that shares the system RAM.

    Underclocking

    Mobile athlon CPU's are rated for 95C according to AMD and as I have said the fan works great pushing out very hot air but it's not enough to cool it. running on battery is the only thing that keeeps it cool enough to work. I'm fortunate enough that the battery still has enough life to give me...

    Underclocking

    I have a 3 year old Fujitsu-Siemens laptop with a mobile athlon 3700+ and it runs at a fairly constant 90C when it's idle. If I try to do anything at all on it the temp shoot's up and it turns itself off with no warning. If I run it on the battery the CPU clock drops to 800Mz instead of 2400MHz...
