This is a bit odd, but AMD processors have a tool available for overclocking that's fantastically useful called K10stat, available at https://sites.google.com/site/k10stat/ . I've no clue what exact processors it's applicable for, but it's actually relevant for laptops. My old A6-3400m was able to push 2.1ghz at all times without getting over 72c, and this A8-3520m's able to run at 2.2ghz without even touching 70. It's just enough to make God Hand fully playable on PCSX2.  The processor has a TDP of 100c, but I don't feel safe going much past 70.The undervolting's interesting, as well. I haven't played with it nearly as much.

Factory Factory posted:TDP of 100W - Watts. The maximum safe 24/7 temperature on those parts is around 62 C. So cut it out. Oh, okay. I was mixed up there. http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/K10/AMD-A8-Series%20A8-3520M.html This has the max operating temperature at 100c, which is what I was probably referring to wrongly using TDP. I probably won't use it anymore but the undervolting might come in handy and the tool does work on 10h/11h cores. If it's actually 62ish, it's odd that Cool 'n Quiet's set so high. It apparently doesn't start throttling the processor for heat until it gets around 78 which is higher than I'd ever let it go.
