Any updates on this? Increasing your core VID et cetera?  I really want to be able to play certain games and know they will work.

Did a quick check around the net, looked again at CrystalCPUID, and unfortunately, no updates. For now, the only way to change voltage settings is by messing with BIOS.
Maybe veisen can do something about that?

Re: Poor overclock solved, don't buy new RAM without trying this!

One of the users that published his hacked BIOS for the N10, based on BIOS v218. He OC'ed the GPU by default and made it possible to let the machine identify itself as an OEM, so you could activate a Dell Masterdisc of Windows 7 for example without having to buy it, and still looking legal to the Microsoft Activation Server.

I'd say messing with the voltages is a little more dangerous than just raising clock speeds, but hey, it's your machine. Of course I'm the one to say something, I took it apart just to stick in a freakin plastic panel that lets the N10 respond to my constant poking  lol

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

That's true, but in his case, his CoreVid isn't as high as it was supposed to be. The max CVV of Atom N270 is 1.1V (which is the normal one), however, his' is lower than that (around 1.0V or something?). The CPU is not fed with enough energy for overclocking, and thus it fails when he try to go above 1.85 Ghz.
I doubt that increasing the voltage within reasonable values (that is, between 0.4 and 1.1 V) will do harm to his CPU. But if we were talking about increasing above 1.1V, then yes, it's highly dangerous.

Re: Poor overclock solved, don't buy new RAM without trying this!

*bah* highly dangerous sucks. So do you guys run prime95 with one worker or 2? tongue Why run with two when you have only one core? tongue  Also, I can pass an 8 test with 1 worker, but fail in 30 minutes with two. (@1.9 GHz) wtf

Re: Poor overclock solved, don't buy new RAM without trying this!

i managed to to get RMclock to do the trick 1880mhz for me is stable but going to 2ghz 1 threat failed in prime95. Cpuz tells its run at 1.275 v. My ratio rated 2:5 when mem hit 400mhz or above my windows dont like launching new apps, half jsut freeze. any idea?

The program runs workers to use all threads + cores. N270/N280 may not be a dual core CPU, but it can handle two threads at once. When you run only one worker, you make only one of the threads run, the other one empty. I won't be able to tell you this technically, but for example, when I enable Multicore Rendering in Left 4 Dead, I get an extra 10 fps. smile

Your FSB:DRAM ratio is 2:5?  hmm  Model, BIOS and OS please. You might have one of those N10s that have a 2:5 ratio. The normal is 1:2. The 2:5 ratio does not allow you to overclock much, probably due to RAM failure.
Also, do you use the latest CPU-Z? The old versions mixed the voltage measurements with another CPU. The highest CVV N270 can handle is 1.1V.

Re: Poor overclock solved, don't buy new RAM without trying this!

@crossbourne
i dled the lastest cpuz, now reading 1.163v
i also have 1gb 667 stick on my other notebook to see if ratio might change

edit; with 667 ram ratio is 1:2, but still getting bsod at 2ghz.
I guess my system wont hit 2ghz, so best to stick with 2:5 ratio since it does 400mhz @ 1.88
my model is n10j-a2 using win7 bios updated to 218

This is to be expected, but my voltage did NOT change going to Win 7.

Re: Poor overclock solved, don't buy new RAM without trying this!

Just in case nobody has thought of this, if you put your power settings to ALWAYS ON in xp the core voltage will stay at max, put the multiplier will still flip from 6 to 10 on the N280.

I have n10jh with xp and cannot get the power4gear from asus website to install, tells me its not compatable.  i even put alot of the other bloatware like the atk and stuff from the site on my machine.  can anybody tell me what the minimum things for getting power4gear installed on an n10jh xp machine is?  My Vcore tops at 1.038, and i cant OC past 1819 without freezeup.  if power4gear will give me the 1.1 some people get I think I could get more Mhz.
