potatochobit Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 anyone use OCCT? are these numbers reliable? it shows my CPU as underclocked now, I know there is a bug with llano laptops if you go past the stock multiplier CPUz might show a high overclock where in reality it is running at stock levels I am wondering if this is whats happened to me or if OCCT is incorrect? I know Ive had to up the voltage to high levels that a high overclock would require or OCCT is crashing and giving errors - failing the stability test so that is making me even more confused, if it was running at stock I would not need such high voltages over 1.25v Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlijaPlayerP Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 Try stressing your CPU with Prime 95 and check the CPU frequency with CPU-Z. That way you should get accurate results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 CPUz reports correctly at 2.6 but I happen to know CPUz can be incorrect with llano chips once the multiplier is raised beyond stock, hence the bug Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bishop245 Posted August 30, 2012 Posted August 30, 2012 OCCT uses Cpu-z to get its info so if Cpu-z is flawed so if OCCT Also why in the world would you oc a laptop when their cooling is barely adequate in the first place Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(and it's 2GB model....not that this 9600GSO equivalent GPU is ANYWAY near needing that much vram, they really went the extra mile for some reason) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
potatochobit Posted September 2, 2012 Posted September 2, 2012 why would I not want a 41% increase in processing power? that is like going from a 3ghz desktop processor and overclocking it to 4.2 heat is a serious issue on laptops but llano actually runs very cool not like ye olde pentium IVs that would catch on fire it will overheat and shut down after an hour on full system stress tests, but on gaming it runs just fine at full overclock with 75-80 degrees max occt most likely is using an older version of cpuz im going to guess since it seems to be working Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried stress testing with Orthos? Or maybe Intel's burn test? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
