Fortunately, it’s in the Downloads section of this site. I also updated the link in the article. Thanks!

Greetings,

I used this on my HP 5310m. Just did a clean wipe and wantred to set it up again, but the crystalcpuid-reset.zip no longer works. Please advise if possible.

the tool don´t work! its easy to test it. if you underclock your cpu it have to get lower temperature. in my case battery life from acer1410 isn´t better and temperature is the same as normal temperature. the tool display rubish!

I got similar results. Only way to find out for sure is to test with and without CrystalCPUID, and compare battery life. Results is all that counts!

Great blog post Scottie!

I picked and Acer 1410 yesterday and stumbled along to here. However im struggling to get this working. Sure the real time clock shows a lower speed but it doesn’t seem like the CPU speed is being reduced. CPU-Z still shows it being a stable 1.2Ghz. Any ideas? Thanks!

With this program you can chance your fsb. But you have to now your PLL.

Your guess is as good as mine! But like you said, it works for me, so I use it. It seems that a whopping 1 other person was able to get it working as well, which is pretty abysmal. Thus, one might think that the “experiment” is not repeatable, and therefore I must be imagining things. The problem is that I don’t understand why it works sometimes and not other times. I only know it DOES work for me. While I would LOVE to know what’s going on, I also know that logically speaking, just because an experiment is not highly repeatable and/or gives some unexplained or negative results doesn’t necessarily mean that the positive results are invalid. It just means I’m not smart enough to figure it out – yet!
