Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

For XP Users I recommend N10Tray (at Draves site). You have to install SetFSB first in default dir, configure your PLL manually in SetFSB, then install N10Tray in SetFSB dir.

It seems to work beautifully.

Just use my method using gpedit.msc and a batch file to get CPU clock to reset during shutdown.

I also want to thank to everyone who is working on this OC utility. I downloaded 1.1.2 version and i am able to easily OC my CPU to 2GHz (do not tried more yet). So thanks a lot guys !!

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

so is it safe to just download setFsB and setFSBtray, and hit high?

or do i first need to manually do the FSB changes to make sure the atom is stable up to 2ghz?

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

You can try it, but I'd recommend stepping up to it. Use Prime95 or Orthos to stress test your CPU.

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

I have both the programs running fine, overclocked using fsb program. But I have the n10 tray running with several options. Like shutdown, etc., and also the ability to change clock speeds. but they are greyed out and im not able to press them. Is there something I need to do so i can use these? thanks

Do not press the greyed out stuff press right in the coloured ones (like stock medium etc.)
I break my head too on this a half day.:)

Hey everyone I'm back!  Sorry it has been so long.  On the up-side of things I got my hands on a windows xp laptop, so I should be able to find where the problems are with older os's.  I hope I remember all the code...I new I should of added more comments. Meh.  I'll be in touch. cool

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

Welcome back then, Draves!

I have been reading through as many of the pages on this board as I can in anticipation of my N10's arrival. I am very excited to see how well your software ends up tweaking it! big_smile

I plan to run the Eee7 OS from modmyeee.com
Hopefully it runs quite nicely smile

Be sure to let us know if there is any sort of help you need with developing these tools further! We will certainly do whatever we can.

Thank you in advance. roll

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

[Question] Is there something I have to do other than running the .exe's because sometimes I can get it to work and sometimes I can't; the times I get it to overclock, once I restart it goes back to stock speed and can't overclock it again sad

P.S. Does this program work on Windows 7?

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

I am running it on W7 as we speak smile It runs quite nicely, though I was having trouble getting into the setFSB executable until I set it's compatibility to VistaSP2 in it's properties.
Once that was done, I ran the program and slowly incremented the FSB as is usually suggested.
In the advanced tab of the settings you want to ensure to add the task and the GP entry.

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

Hey guys, what are your settings with this program... like high, medium, low.
Anything else you adjust?  I can easily OC at 2.2 but I lose my LAN, although I still retain wireless, kind of odd.

That is normal, nik.

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

Alright, im fine with that as long as wireless works, nice to see its stable at 2.2ghz, just curious what everyone elses settings were for them.  What are yours?

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

I have them at 150/160/170
I pushed them further and never received a blue screen, lock up, or artifacts even up to 185, but I pulled em back to these because I simply don't care to wear out my system early.. tongue

Well, in any case, I've got it at 2.15 and its running smoothly, manage to get an average of 75-100fps in COD4 with the yitch3.cfg

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

hi guys, i do not quite understand how it works.

just some questions b4 i inadvertently kill my n10j:

1: If you chose 'High' does it matter what values you set for 'medium', 'low' and 'low lan'.

2: If I do push it too far, does it just shut down and i pretend it never happened XD

3. I currently have High on 200 FSB, computer still running (1 hour now) (for the rest i followed the settings in the jpg in your tutorial). What's yours?

The Low, Medium and High presets are just user-convenience. it means you can store three different OC-settings and then set you PC at that particular FSB for the scenario you need it. If you want to, for example, edit audio or something, you do not need 2.0+Ghz, but for gaming you really really do want every last Mhz squeezed out of that CPU.

So with these presets you can set the High FSB at the highest your CPU can take, and for audio-editing you can set it at something lower, but still OC'ed. That way, you don't have to pull that slider every time, the OC you want is just one click away.

Also, I don't think you have it OC'ed right now. It's not enough to pull the slider of the high setting to 200Mhz, you still have to choose that high OC in the right-click menu of the tray icon. Also, I would recommend you lower it a bit, I have not seen a single Atom getting higher then 181Mhz FSB so I highly doubt you have it running at 200Mhz lol

Don't make me "touch" you :-D

make sure you actually set the clock, and not just move the sliders. but i would NOT recommend setting to 200mhz unless you want an instant BSOD.
you want to change the 'high' setting to something closer to 155-160, then right click the tray icon and hit the 'high' button. you should see the setfsb app on screen for a few seconds, then you should be running at the new clock.

also, make sure you dont push to far at first. slowly experiment with higher speeds and do stress tests. i get a BSOD at 163, but at 161 im comepletely stable. so it only takes a few Mhz to cause issues.

Re: SetFSBTray 1.1.3 - Overclock your FSB from a Tray Icon

hi guys, you are correct.

I used CPUZ and it tells me that it is running @ 188 (max i can reach) FSB.  this is despite me setting that FSB at 200 in the high settings.


Assuming my settings is the limits we can push the CPU, then 2260 Mhz is the fastest the n10j cpu can go.

---

I did some stress testing, so far i have failed from 183-188 fsb setting. no more time to do more testing for now. Has anyone figured out the maximum stable FSB?

I am using the recommended stress test app from the tutorial. Prime95.
