Mobile Turion 64 X2 TL-60, OC-ing

JavaScript is disabled. For a better experience, please enable JavaScript in your browser before proceeding.

I need to somehow crank up the MHz dial on this CPU. Does anyone know if there is some specially modded BIOS or some piece of software or anything that will allow me to overclock this ol’ clunker. I know all about the cooling issues you are about to bring up and it doesn’t matter. I’ve sacrificed my notebook’s mobility for the sake of cooling. I need some method to OC, please.

I would highly advice against it, because the Turion X2 runs quite hot by itself. I’ve actually seen it melt notebook casings.

But still, do you know a way to do just that? Overclock the CPU I mean, not melt my casing.
I just can not find anything on that matter. There are modified BIOS releases to allow for GPU overclocking, but that’s not what I’m after. Already did it with RivaTuner.

Maybe you can use an OC software to do that but I don’t know any that could work with Turion.
I highly recommend you not to overclock it. The Heat Sink isn’t good enough to handle the heat and the chip itself isn’t very stable. Please note that AMD 65nm CPU is pretty bad in overclocking.

This cpu comes stock at 2.4GHz. I have a HP Pavilion dv6700z that i bought in late April 2008. The chipset is the key to overclocking. I was able to do some research and found out that this notebook series comes with a NVIDIA nForce chipset, along with the dedicated GeForce 8400m GS graphics card.

Check out this CPU-Z screenshot! — http://hwbot.org/listResults.do?user…plicationId=13

Also, here are the benchmarks (my cpu OC was 225fsb/2.7Ghz and the GPU was set at 650mhz/461mhz. factory settings were 200fsb/2.4ghz and 400mhz/400mhz). I have designed an external forced airflow cooling system that prevents overheating. so you may not be able to OC as much.

soooo if you have an nforce chipset (i have the 520) then the nvidia drivers should let you oc.

the software i have installed is 5.05.54.00 ntune and 15.23 forceware drivers, along with the 185.20 geforce gfx drivers. just google those version numbers and it should give u a download link. If you want some extra fsb, you can up the voltage a bit with crystalcpuid. I change it up, change the fsb, and then undervolt to cut some of the heat. remember to change the voltage back up though if you are going to drop the fsb down again.

Please remember there are fsb holes in the low-quality motherboards hp/dell/whatever puts in their laptops. My stable overclocking range is from 200.9 to 205, 211, 217-218, 224-225. The motherboard tends to fluctuate the fsb slightly on its own accord. So if i set the fsb to 217, cpu-z reports 217.4 to 217.8. When i set the fsb to 224, it is really at 224. 2 to 224.4. My laptop hangs if i try to set it anywhere out of those zones, and i have to increase the voltage to get to 224. OH! and set your HT Link to 3x instead of 4x so it doesn’t freeze.

I hope this helps. remember to get some sort of cooling fan so it doesn’t freeze/bluescreen or turn off from overheating. The laptop won’t hurt itself, it’ll just turn off and then you will have to wait for it to cool down before it allows itself to start back up(30 or 40 minutes).

Hi guys,if you overlock HP laptops,I suggest to step:

1./Increase the highness/altitude of you laptop,because the gum soles are to small.So put something under the laptop with permanent super glu.

2./Increase the hole of fun,because it is very small as well.I maked it 4times bigger

I done this two step and my CPU maximum temperature is 48`Celsius.
