hi looking for some help to overclock this monster Alienware m17x i am having Intel Core QX9300 2.53GHz with 12MB cache so please tell me how to overclock it also can any one tell me is that need to over clock 4 core simultaneously ? or any other thing please reply
thank you
If you go through the BIOS to see the overclocking options in Area-51 m17x that is hitherto simply absent on different models of the brand. The least i can say is that here too Alienware has nothing left out .The possibilities are less. Start with the multiplier which you access if you choose a processor family from Intel Extreme and first observation you will naturally increase this value but you can also go down. The values range from 8.5 up to 16 in increments of 0.5. Not sure that the value 16 is exploitable .
with 8.5 Core 2 Extreme Quad Core QX9300 sees its operating frequency down to 8.5 x (1066 ÷ 4) = 2.27 GHz instead of 9.5 x (1066 ÷ 4) = 2.53 GHz . But at 12.5 we are already at 12.5 x (1066 ÷ 4) = 3.33 GHz with a gain of 31.62% compared to the original frequency anyway. first tried to reach the FSB frequency of the highest possible. To do this we lowered the multiplier to the lowest 8.5, and then gradually increased the FSB via the NVIDIA Control Panel
i could get the Core 2 Extreme QX9300 with a multiplier of 12.5. At 13, the machine refused to boot properly and reboot loop when it did not make us beautiful blue screens. This gives us a frequency of 12.5 x (1066 ÷ 4) = 3.33 GHz. Not bad at all especially as Dell / Alienware does overclocking up to 3.06 GHz. Beyond tha, nothing is certain and smooth operation of the machine is not insured with risks of various crashes and varied.
