El_Capitan Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Well, I finally got around to overclocking my gaming laptop. I only use it for gaming when away on vacation. I used Unigine Heaven v2.1 default settings fullscreen (normally I'd set Anisotropy to 16 an Anti-Aliasing to 8x, but no way I'd get playable frame rates at those settings in games). I didn't add voltage unlocking, so it's all on stock voltages. Load temp difference was 4C (82C to 86C), which isn't too bad. If I apply better TIM and use a laptop cooler, I could get those temps lower, but they're fine as it is. Stock at 675MHz Core Clock: Overclocked to 815MHz Core Clock: Aside from benchmarks, I'm noticing smoother gameplay. I hardly notice that I'm playing on a laptop at all, aside from there being no AA (or it being at least 2x AA). A major difference is Minimum FPS.

Tjj226_Angel Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Very nice. Very nice indeed I wonder if you could do the same to the Intel GMA 3000 GPU I would like to see you use just better TIM and not the laptop cooler and see what sort of temps you get.

El_Capitan Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 Someone should try it with the GMA 3000 GPU. Maybe when I get bored and my eyesight is 100%, I'll put some new TIM on it and measure the temp differences, and also the temp differences using a laptop cooler. I used a wooden table with a tablecloth when I was testing, so it probably isn't the best for getting good temps on a laptop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sticknstone Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 What do you use to tell you to stop increasing the frequency? I use the benchmark score and stop when the increase drops or is negligible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
El_Capitan Posted December 26, 2011 Posted December 26, 2011 What do you use to tell you to stop increasing the frequency? I use the benchmark score and stop when the increase drops or is negligible. When I see the Min FPS drop below the previous overclock results or if the benchmark crashes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
