T43 overclock (what PLL?)

#1 Post by mistiko » Sun Jan 15, 2006 10:11 am

Hi all! This is my first post, I have a T43 (Dothan 2.0 GHz) i would like to overclock it but I don't know what kind of PLL (clock generator) it uses.
I tried some programs (clockgen, setFSB, ...) but none of them correctly recognize the PLL on my T43! Has someone succesfully oveclocked a T43, or knows what PLL is used?
I also own a toshiba TECRA M2 and it was so easy (with clockgen) overclock it from 1.6 GHz to 2.0 GHz and I think that, in some way, it should be possible also with my Thinkpad.

Thanks in advance for any reply.

Aside from wondering why you would want to overclock, you do realize this shortens your battery time while you're unplugged, right?

Surely overclocking the CPU lead to a shorter battery life, but I'll use the overclocked thinkpad only when connected to the AC in order to obtain a "more desktop replacement" thinkpad for tasks like video encoding, compiling etc... In addition I've read that the Dothan 2.0 GHz overclock very well, up to 2,4 GHz (perhaps this is excessive!) and benchmarks show that in this configuration it's better than a P4 3.4 Extreme Edition or an Athlon FX 4000+!!!
Like I optimize my laptop for battery life by lowering CPU voltage, GPU freq etc, I would like to be able to optimize this thinkpad for performances, when connected to AC, of couse...
Maybe this thinkpad has not a programmable clock generator? I hope not...
Sorry for my poor English!

Waiting for good news... :mrgreen:
