Has anyone overclocked their mbp in bootcamp (vista?). My mbp SR somehow randomly downclocked itself from the usual 470/635 to 400/500 and I have no idea how it happened or how to reverse it. I reinstalled the apple drivers and 3rd party drivers multiple!! times. It stays at 400/500. So..i want to overclock it back to the 470/635..but whenever i move the sliders in ntune it pops back to 400/500! So..how do i overclock this thing..back to regualr speeds..?

also..are clock speeds saved in the drivers or something in the hardware? curious..maybe i could reformat and reinstall..but idk if it would help
 
Pet peeve. The MacBook Pro platform is not Santa Rosa. They use an Atheros wireless chip and not Intel's solution.
 
That's fair but not exactly helpful you know?

Freyzz, there have been people that have successfully overclocked the GPU in the MBP, but I'm not sure about the new Santa Rosa's

what? i thought the new mbps (my model and higher) were santa rosa. they have the new core 2 duos....

but anyways OP, try using atitool. that worked for me...
 
Santa Rosa is a platform. There are multiple things that a computer needs to be certified as Santa Rosa. One is the Core 2 Duo chip, the wireless chip, and the chipset IIRC.

oh yeah i know....i thought the newest mbps have the chipset and cpu...and i thought the wireless would be "better" because it includes A/B/G/N as standard even in their macbook line too.
 
Yes, I would also consider the Atheros option to be better; but, having it makes the platform not Santa Rosa.
