Hi all,

I've just purchased CoolBook in the hope it will allow me to play HD TV shows without one of the core's shutting down thus leading to poor quality.

The only thing is, I don't understand any of the settings and the manual doesn't really help make it easy!

I have the first gen MBA SSD version.

Thanks! :)

Had everything set at .9250 and it was generally very stable. However, once I was handbraking a video and halfway through encode, I got a popper kernel, so I bumped 1862 to .9375V.

It is all luck whether you get a chip capable of running efficiently. My friend can't even undervolt down to 1.000V for his MacBook Air.

there are no fixed settings, you have to try it yourself step by step. and it depends on your temperature's area too. if you are using it in a warm environment without air conditioner. lower temps might cause issue than the others using the same setting but using the air in air conditioned area.

me too, it finally now plays 1080p video perfectly. Amazing how well the software works.

One question, do we have to keep the software open all the time? I guess is no, but just to confirm.

Be sure to bump up the voltage 1 step up if anything bad happens.
