Everything is instantaneous so waiting will not help. Is this trinity or richland?

Try "counting down" on bits 10 through 8 of 0xDC and tell me when it crashes. For example, default is 111. Try 110, then 101, 100, 011, and lastly 010. By counting down we are disabling state 1 at a time. What I say to do in my guide is 001 for just hardware P-states 0 (PB0) and 1 (PB1) to be active. 000 leaves just hardware P-state 0 (PB0) active, which works for no one. Maybe your BIOS requires more active P-states. Whatever your final stable result is, set bits 31 through 29 of 0xA8 equal to bits 10 through 8 of 0xDC to make PB0 work again.

Well.... yesterday I have tried it couple times again and I have finally managed to get this working.

I tried almost everything, but this one way works for me, I dont know why, but it does.

And by the way, I actually cleared the correct bits, the problem isn't here.

First, I restart my computer. If I don't restart it and clear that bits, my laptop freezes.

Then I open-up AMD overdrive. In the Clock/Voltage tab click "Turbo Core Control" and make sure its enabled.

If I haven't restarted my computer, the "Turbo Core Control" option would be grey and not available to click/activate.

Then I click the green sphere at the top of the AMD OD GUI, then red circle around it appears. After it my clock finally go over the 2,5 GHz.

...but it still randomly drops between 2,4 and 3,5.

If I do all of these steps, I am able to change those bits without any freeze and its finally locked on 3,5. (Its actually 2 cores on 3,2 and 2 cores on 3,5... no idea why as well ->according to AMD OD)

I don't get it, why does it work this way.

Now, with slightly OCed 8970HD, I can finally run BF3 on ultra at 45-65 FPS!! Yay! Other games run much better too of course.

Thanks again @Khenglish for your guide and all the others caring about people like me!

Hi Gx60 Owners,

Kenglish's Method Gives the GX60/70 A great boost so in order to simplify the method for beginners I've Described the entire process with one Image, Enjoy!

I am trying to do this, but I am having a little trouble... If I change the 0x0A8 (30, 31 bits) to 0, no problem occures. But when I change the 0x0DC bits (9th and 10ts), my system just freezes. Is it okay? Should I wait few minutes before it takes any effect?

I tried to do this in different order (first 0x0A8 and then 0x0DC) but it always freezes after the 0x0DC change. I have also tried to slightly increase voltage before making theese changes, but it always just freezes.

Any suggestion?
