Notebook Hardware Control

NHC is a handy little program that monitors and helps control some of your notebook's hardware settings.

You can find it here:

It also works with Vista.

In the spirit of overclocking, I feel I can't just let my notebook run stock all the time. I feel the compulsion to tinker with it if I can. Since I can't overclock the sucker, I decided to do the next best thing, undervolt the sucker.

Notebook Hardware Control has a feature to adjust the CPU voltage. So far, I have my Yonah at the following states running stable:

The voltage settings work on multipliers from the FSB (166), so you can adjust the voltages for each speedstep setting.

6X = 0.9500V
7X = 0.9500V
8X = 1.0000V
9X = 1.0500V
10X = 1.1000V

The lowest voltage setting available is 0.9500V or else I would set the 6X multiplier at a lower state. So far I've been running at this state for the last 2 days and it seems to be working fine.

I might try a couple ticks lower in another few days.
