dmdm – thanks for the results, how do you get the multiplier to go beyond 10 – which mine max’s out at ???
BTW – My current 3DMark06 results
1975MHz:
1496 3DMarks
SM 2.0 560
SM 3.0 632
CPU 614My default multiplier is 12, 12 x 133 MHz.
e: And I’m using factory installed 1GB RAM, haven’t upgraded yet.

Wow you’re lucky, with my original rams I only can hit 1.85ghz before it crashes soon after..Fingerman: you got a n280, hence the 10x multiplier and 195-200 fsb. Others (including me) who have a n270 have a 12x multiplier but can only reach around 155-165 fsb.
As the RAM:CPU ratio is more favourable to the n280, the latter is best for O/C: both n280 and n270 can reach up to 2ghz, only the n280 does it with a higher fsb.
Food for thought on how to go beyond the 2ghz mark and hit the actual limit of the n270 and n280:
As SPDtool (the software to manually edit ram timings) does not work on the n510, and as nvidia tools does not offer as much control over setting timings than SPDtool does, I put my stock 1gb stick in another laptop:
– Higer latencies (from the stock 6-6-6-18 to 6-9-9-32) does not change anything: the n510 wont OC beyond 1,954ghz. I reckon CAS is the issue here (can’t set it higher than 6, even with SPDtool).
– Lower latencies (from the stock 6-6-6-18 to 5-5-5-15) prevents significant OC: I could not reach more than 1,70ghz. The performance gains stemming from better latencies do not compensate the 0,254ghz gap between the 2 OCs.
Now, Ive made a beginner’s mistake with SPDtool, which made my 1gb stick unbootable on my other laptop (but still working on my n510). It would be interesting, however, to try 2 options of SPDtool:
– specify a higher voltage (2,5v instead of 1,8). But as there are no intermediate values (like 2,1), I would not recommend this. This is also assuming that the n510 gets its RAM’s voltage settings directly from the RAM’s EPROM, which is not guaranteed.
– use SPDtool to modify the FSB:DRAM ratio under “SDRAM Cycle time at maximum supported CAS latency”. Not sure if this would work, but if someone feels like giving this a try… Currently, the FSB:DRAM ratio of the n270 is 2:6. I guess the ratio on n280 models is 1:2,4 (5:12), which is more interesting. Once again, this is assuming that this ratio could be set up via the RAM EPROM..not guaranteed. Basically, improving the ratio would enable to OC the CPU more without fears for the RAM (currently the limiting factor).

For those interested (and please spare us the “a netbook should never be OCed” blabla etc):
Follow the instructions given on that page:
http://myhpmini.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=2445&start=72Except: replace 3651 with N510
and there you go 🙂
This link no longer works, still need to overclock this N510 to run MASCHINE by Native Instruments
sub-xero – A quick search of that forum reveals this thread.
Overclock the CPU and/or GPUIs that what you are looking for?
Hope this helps
