528867 2007-02-28 10:49:00 Hi all,

Just looking for a utility for XP that'll adjust the CPU speed on the fly for a laptops Sempron 3100+ CPU.

Currently its running at approx 44% capacity and I cant speed it up nor slow it down myself :(

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Regards

528868 2007-02-28 11:11:00 You don't have to have the power settings set to anything specific like Full Power?
I know if you play around with the Power Options in the Control Panel it adjusts the CPU speed so maybe this needs to be set to Max Power or similar since you have another app to adjust CPU speed.

528869 2007-02-28 11:45:00 Yeah, Ive checked in the Power Settings etc, nothing in there...

No idea why it decided to set itself to 800Mhz, it just has :-/

Nothing in the BIOS either :(

Any other suggestions?

Thanks

528870 2007-02-28 13:02:00 Load up about 10 large apps, that will slow it down, to speed it up just close them.:D Rob99 (151)
528871 2007-02-28 23:11:00 I know you said Windows Chill, but have you looked in the BIOS or in any proprietary start-up settings for a limiter? Murray P (44)
528872 2007-03-01 10:42:00 Yeah, Ive checked in the BIOS, its incredibly basic and cut-down... Although Ive noticed that if I load up WinAVI and get it maxing out the CPU it automatically speeds up to 1800Mhz :-/ Only under a few seconds of load it looks like Chilling_Silence (9)
