xXxexpertxXx Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I got a new laptop It is showing 2.7 ghz but its suppose to be dynamically overclocked up to 4.1 but never shows that with cpuz said it showing average of 3.5ghz. My question is. How do I use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to overclock my speed of my cpu to be faster? what settings do I adjust? for faster processor is it literally just the "Processor Core Ratio?" When I do that to 4.1 I noticed the speed rises in cpuz but the system also shuts down. If the system shuts down, DO I have to up the voltage? also, How do I go about overclocking my 980m 8 gig video card to preform a lot better on high end games like call of duty? What simple settings must I adjust to allow it to preform better. Thanks for any assistance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 6, 2016 Crew Share Posted March 6, 2016 The dynamic OC that you refer too is dependant on the load of the different cores and the heat generated... how your bios is setup and the power saving settings in your OS If you want to push check if the XTU slider can adjust the CPU Voltage and that it is effectively set by monitoring the voltage reading in eg CPU-Z If you want higher clocks it goes hand in hand with higher voltages, but always check the temperatures... find a balance! For your graphics card you can download an OC tool like MSI Afterburner and gradually clock your GPU core clocks up with 25MHz. Same can be done for the GPU's memory. Just test with your fav games, if it runs withotu locking up and temps are still okay , clock up... For gaming OCing the GPU is way more beneficial in FPS gain than OCing your CPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXxexpertxXx Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 I appreciate your assistance you made complete sense so leaving cpu wont effect much in game? I am better off ocing video card? Msi after burner doesn't allow me to touch the GPU core voltage but it lets me adjust the clock and memory.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crew Leeghoofd Posted March 7, 2016 Crew Share Posted March 7, 2016 Well with modern games being more and more multithreaded even a 3.5Ghz CPU is more than plenty, unless you do more than multi GPU/screens (not your case) Well yes OC the GPU, is more beneficial than OCing a modern CPU to be honest for daily gaming. Good luck man, update us on how far you can push it for daily gaming!! and keep track of them temps!!! A tip: Afterburner allows you to display an OSD ( On Screen display ) during the gaming so you can monitor everything while in the game.
