Netbook Overclocking

[Nidiahk]

Hello guys and gal, I have an acer aspire one kav60 with an intel atom n280 at 1.66 ghz (fast i know), i was hoping to overclock this for fun and to see if i could get it to play a youtube video at more than 15 fps. I cant find its pll anywhere online and there are 0 overclocking options, though it does have a fan that can spool up if need be when over clocking. If anyone knows the pll or where i can find it, or knows an overclocking program that supports this one that would be awesome! Thanks.

you would burn out the chip theres no good cooling for the cpu and most laptops dont have over clockable cpus, so dnint

DON'T DO IT. Your latop will be on fire.

So be it. Its worth $20 anyway

Use SetFSB after you find the PLL of your chip (a quick Google search should do it), and then gradually increase the multiplier until you hit 1.9GHz. At 2.0GHz the network interfaces stop working, and at 2.2 it will shut down. Just make sure you have good cooling, or it will get toasty. Trust me. I am good with OCing netbooks. Look in my sig if you don't believe me.

Problem was i couldnt find the pll but i found this on some diagram - ICH7MBGA652 Do you think that is it?

Only one way to find out. If it doesn't work, it won't do anything, most likely.

 

But I'm pretty sure it should be.

I cant find that one in setfsb

Are you sure? Sometimes they can blend in.

I'm pretty sure the chip is locked and the Bios is custom and have been locked down with zero overclocking options anyway. That has been my experience with laptops, unless there is some custom bios flash you can do or some crazy trick to get into the full bios. If you could. You would have a cooling problem anyway.

SLG8sp556vtr That is the correct clock generator

[Nidiahk]

SLG8sp556vtr isnt in set fsb 

[flibberdipper]

Nevermind..

[Nidiahk]

Nevermind..

Any other programs i could try?

[flibberdipper]

SLG8sp556vtr isnt in set fsb 

Well, since I can't think straight right now, read this article and hopefully it will be of some help. If not, I'll try to help out in about 12 hours.

 

EDIT: It would help if I put the article in, wouldn't it? http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9139642/5_ways_to_overclock_a_netbook_really_

Haha alright thanks so much man

 

doesnt look like it

There is a program called ThrottleStop. With it you can force the processor to run at turbo frequency across all cores all the time. Sometimes there is even the option to adjust multiplier, depending on the model of your laptop. Make sure to start it every time you boot into Windows. 

PS: I overclocked with this program my Asus Lamborghini VX6 Notebook and it was fine.

This is not a good idea!!!!

[Cwazywazy]

My netbooks pll isnt in setfsb so I just have throttlestop forcing the CPU to max speed and I was able to undervolt it to .9 volts too. Runs cooler and gets better battery.

This is not a good idea!!!!

 

He is doing this just for fun and he doesn't care if the notebook dies.

Still not a good idea and there is no fun in this.

Maybe, but he is asking and I am just answering.

Thanks man i will check it out

Alright looks like it is stuck at stock clock settings but i under volted it to 0.95 volts, colour me impressed and thank you analog
