Pls help - underclocking V5200

cheekoo · Nov 2, 2008, 04:33 AM

Hello All

I have a T60p with V5200 graphics card. It runs hot like a stove

Idling temperature with AC plugged is 85+ (this is GPU temp.) . tpfancontrol stops it from shutting down..

But I thought of underclocking the graphics card to bring down the temperature. I do not run any games, just do browsing or watch movies at max.

Can someone pls guide me? I have tried all i could do. Power strip, ATI tool, catalyst control center were of no use

or maybe i don't know how to use them.

I have CCC installed on my laptop, version 2008.0923 and the driver version that it shows is :
2D : 6.14.10.6635
Direct3D: 6.14.10.0431
OpenGL : 6.14.10.6068

Thanks in Advance
Cheekoo
