RMclock alternative?

I used this:

to get RMclock's signed x64 driver to run in windows 7. Unfourtunately I don't think it supports Core i3 Cpus.

I need something to do the "RUN HLT COMMAND" so my stupid laptop stops whining!!!!

RMClock unfortunately hasn't been updated in a LONG time. It was an awesome tool at it's time with nice graphs and stuff. The Core iX CPUs have a much more advanced clocking/voltage system and seem to run about as cool as possible out of the box at idle at least. I tried undervolting my Core i3 530 from the BIOS and it wouldn't budge at idle. Cut some load power off but that's it. So even if RMClock did work, I don't think it would help much.

the main issue is is that I need to use the old trick to eliminate motherboard coil whine on a i3 laptop. the RUN HLT command trick.

cloneman talks about this i guess :

The solution was either to soften up the CPU frequency switching, as these sounds are product of CPU switching frequency/voltage via C1E/EIST. Of course one solution is to turn C1E/EIST off, but that is not a good idea in case of laptop.
That is the reason for RMclock, where using some settings killed or minimized these sounds. In my case, these settings helped :

But as cloneman said, RMclock is a problem in his case.

Hi Cloneman,

You are not alone in your pursuit on a solution for whining capacitors on systems not supported by RMCLOCK!

I've been searing for days and I'll let you know if I find a utility or alternative solution.

Please keep posting if you get any new leads / clues

Well I've found a temporary solution to the whine-noise.

Simply play a random sound on repeat in Windows Media Player (Could be a silent MP3).

It completely silents the coil whining and only puts minimal stress on the CPU
