how to oc ??

Computer's speed is determine by the frequency and those frequency is called clock speed. For example, if ur speed is 1000mhz, by using any method which allows ur speed exceed 1000mhz, let say to 1200mhz, means u oledi overclocked the speed. Anything that makes u exceed the manufacturer clock speed is called overclock.



funny when john asked this question. I'm not sure how detail u asking but for laptop, we normally do softmod, means overclock by using software.

For GPU overclock, download and install the latest GPU driver (recommended 169.09) from laptop2go. Then download ntune and download ntune from nvidia.com. After installing ntune, go nvidia control panel, select performance and start tuning ur gpu core and memory clock speed. The best we tried is getting core speed from 500mhz to 600mhz, and memory speed from 700mhz to 900mhz. You should expect a significant difference in 3dmark.

For CPU overclock, download setfsb from http://www13.plala.or.jp/setfsb/ , Opening the program, at the Clock Generator part, select ICS9LPR363DGLF (s41 motherboard model, same as ASUS G1S/F3SV/F8SV), then press get fsb. Then drag the bar making ur fsb 200mhz to 220mhz. And press set fsb.

**Do you know?**
CPU clock speed is determine by FSB (Font Side Bus) according to the cpu multiplier, in this case s41 (First batch) default fsb and multiplier are 200mhz and 9x, therefore clock speed will be at 1800mhz. While s41 with T7250 has 200mhz fsb and 10x multiplier, there therefore it's 2000mhz clock speed. Pls do not ask me why s41 and many other notebook stated 800mhz fsb, the fsb shown in the fliers and brochures is telling we all that the motherboard supports ram speed that is 800mhz and below which is different story to the CPU FSB. However, bus speed determine how fast each component in the chipset able to transfer data among them. **Don't ask me to reference, it's my own general knowledge.

Continue wif CPU overclocking, by dragging the bar, we able to control the speed of fsb. For example, I told u guys to drag it from 200mhz to 220mhz, which makes the cpu fsb at 220mhz multiply by 9, which is around 1980mhz, somewhere near 2.0ghz. And you have overclocked ur CPU.

**Again, why 20mhz fsb and not more? In order to overclock s41 beyond 220mhz fsb, u need certain skill, knowledge and modification. Because you need to modify your RAM speed from 667mhz to 533mhz by using SPDTOOL. By changing the latency, 1.8ghz s41, able to clock at 2.5ghz. (However, i dunno how to use SPDTOOL and it's dangerous when u have no idea of wat u're doing)

Does Overclock makes diff? Yes and no. Yes to GPU OC, it's crucial for graphic demanding games like need for speed, bioshock but i dun c crysis will help. For CPU OC, for stable version only increases ur CPU speed around 200mhz. I dun c any diff if it's 200mhz.

So u guys have any question?

Jeff, nice info there!

btw, do u even know there got 3rd party of BIOS (modded BIOS). I wonder got for S41.

Hi is it posibble to upgrade S41 ram go 6gb?

i think max is 4gb right?


thanks for the overclocking info. i never overclock before.


TS, put the useful links in first post please. especially links for the drivers.

alrite .. try to make it asap ...

hard abit wor... now market only sell 2gb ram, max for s41 is 4gb only lo.... Somemore, winxp and vista 32bit only support 3gb ram, even if u put 4gb inside.



thx. I dunno whether there is coz the taiwan s41 community doesn't mention it b4

S41 known bugs, (Pls help me on this)

1. Warcraft 3 Frozen throne (Dota) -
Problem: Blue screen during gameplay.
Cause: Audio driver.
Solution: Change sound setting to dolby surround in game option.

2. LCD Screen-
Problem: When s41 idle for certain amount of time, the LCD backlight will turned off and can't be turn on again.
Cause: Unknown.
Solution: Hibernate it or force shutdown. Alternative solution, set lcd never turn off in power management.

3. DVD-ROM-
Problem: Too sensitive, most of the DVD can't be read.
Cause: Sucky DVD drive manufacturer
Solution: Change a new one

Where can i download the full driver for S41-H for window XP??include chipset,modem,wireless,sound,webcam,grapic card n so on pls???

Refer Jeff post dude.

You should refer back the old post as this has been posted so many times, anyway since we're S41 brothers and sista's, go to this link:
http://www.gtc.co.id/index.php/Downloads/J...w-category.html

John it would be better if the XP drivers download link can be included in the first page ..

I'm asking behalf of my friend since he's using S41 as well but he's with Window Xp but I'm with Vista, so I can't figure out what problem with his S41. Hope anyone with S41 running Window XP can help me, my friend told me that he have double image appears on most of the the DVD's he play with the Window Media Player but some are don't have double image. I'm suspecting maybe codec issue so I ask him to download the K-lite codec and install it but yet to get any feedback from him. Could it be the optical drive problem as well? Anyone facing this problem with Window XP?

JZ UPDATE THE FRONT PAGE ... any left out plz let me know ^ ^

John, the "click here" link not working wor..

OMG ... go check check 1st ...

Working liao... BTW John, my T7250 S41 is consider S41-H ar?

s41 oni ^ ^

Very thank you Jeffery write many about the overclock

I think is very useful to me and many ppl are using s41

Because i think still have many ppl dont know how to overclock (me also)

The information are very detail

Have one new bug for s41 , when i overclock my gc then play nfs:prostreet , the keybroad cant use

and who have using s41 , sometime then keybroad cant use , then log in log out then will fine ?

is my problem or is vista problem or s41 problem?

web cam dun have driver?
can share the link?

As for Window XP, the webcam will be automatically detected and prompt you for installation, therefore you don't need to search and download the driver.
