Using ClockGen to Overclock your Pentium-M Laptop?

[govtcheez75]

I see that on the ClockGen page, it is compatible with a Pentium M chipset, the 855GME-MGF, which is (I'm guessing) DFI's version of the Pentium M for Desktop motherboard. Since many notebooks however use the 855GME chipset, I was wondering if this would work for it as well. I've been itching to try it, but I'm pretty much chick, and would prefer NOT to be the guinepig. I would love to get someone that has tried it, to see if it has worked, or not worked. I had one person from a notebook forum confrimed that they tried it, and although it seemed to have worked in the beginning, it stopped working. I think this may have to do with the Dell Bios though, as it was done on a Dell laptop. Maybe it will work with others? I know that AW Sentias have a feature that allows for a slight overclock, and it uses the same chipset.


....anyone try this, or is willing to give it a whirl on their lappies??

My aopen 1557gls doesnt work it detects the speed but make no difference when I try to alter it. It uses the 855pm chipset I think

The i855 works on my i852 P4-M 2.4 -> 2.7 Easy, but useless.

too bad i did not catch this thread earlier. i had a celly m in my laptop and upgraded to a pent m. i would have used the celly m for a g-pig

Couldn't get it to work on my i855pm chipset Dell i8600 lappy. Clockgen would read the wrong clock and not set it to what i set it at, having no effect at all.

The thing is, bobsmith1492 got it to work with his i855gm chipset sager lappy. I checked the intel stats page, and as far as I cant tell, it is the same motherboard except it has integrated video.
How did the person with the dell get it to work, do you have a link? I'd love to fiddle around with my clockspeed a little.

doesn't work with Dells....I think the Bios are locked.

it works. You need to set the power profile to "Home/Desktop"

 

[stratman]

Shadowmage, you've tried overclocking a dell pentium M lappy? My power profile is set to Home/Desktop, but still no luck, same problems as I wrote above.

I overclocked a Compaq Presario V2000 (1.6ghz) to 1.9ghz using this program. I really don't know why it doesn't work for you. I guess that's why Dell laptops suck

There's an article at rojakpot.com on overclocking the centrino notebooks with clockgen... http://rojakpot.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=177&pgno=0

LOL i just tried it and it does not work when the power setting is on max battery etc, and it read the wrong speed.
Unlike most of you, i want to underclock my cpu, and have the mhz fix.
Any ideas?

Interesting read thanks for posting that article

Just took apart my I9200 and found it uses:

ICS 950810
Does not support overclocking.

Now I need to find a suitable replacement that will allow overclocking.

I tried both versions of Clockgen on my Thinkpad X31 no go with either.

 

[bobsmith1492]

I've been running my P-M 1.7 @ 2.125 (125 FSB) for a few weeks now. It is an amazing performance difference. This is in a Sager 3790 (with the 855 chipset).

 

[inspiron8200guy]

Does anyone here have an idea of what version to use on a Dell Inspiron 8200 with the Intel 845MP chipset?

Just tried this on my Toshiba M35X series Lappy. Clockgen acts like it is OCing but Sandra and Everest still say stuck at 1.4 GHZ.
