Help- Computer experts needed (overclocking my GPU on my laptop)

[BeyondHeretic]

I don't think building a gaming pc will be that much expensive , intel gives you the choice : you can pick an i3 , you don't need more than 4 gb of memory and you can spend the rest on a decent gpu...

My cousin brother lost his laptop while playing Call of Duty in June last year when it was extremely hot outside. He closed his laptop when he left to eat lunch and when he opened it again after a while, the screen was split in half......

Thats why I am kinda worried about my plans



Thanks for the tip, downloading it right now ^^

Keep monitoring temp.
Now i just use cooling pads its working perfectly from 5 months ill say go for pads

Hi,

I want to overclock my laptop to achieve the max FPS value while gaming.

I want to use MSI afterburner to overclock my GPU.

My question: Is it safe to do it? Will there be any long term effects etc????


My specs:


Intel Core i7-3632QM (2.2 GHz, up to 3.2 with Turbo boost)
NVIDEA GeForce GT 630M with 2GB memory
8 GB DDR3 memory
750 GB HDD
Windows 8 64bits

1)Overclocking your graphics card will technically void any warranty that have on your laptop. I say technically, because the act of overclocking does breech the terms in the warranty, but it's improbable that anyone will ever find out, or care for that matter.

2)It is safe as long as it passes a consistently repeatable 3D benchmark like FutureMark's 3DMark 2001SE or 3DMark05 at each time you change core or memory clock.

3)Do not change core voltage because it will increase heat output and it can damage you GPU for a long Run.

4)Purchase Laptop cool pads if you are planning to increase core voltage.By Increasing core voltage you can further increase core/memory clock without causing any artifacts to appear in screen during Stress benches.

Ok thanks for the advice, I got all points except for 2, could you please explain it for total noobs like me

@Koovie, well over clocking can harm your laptop because even you will overclock your GPU it will increase temperature of your GPU and CPU chipset and performance will become more worse. The overclocking is directly proportional with heat problem in desktop you can over come it with water coolers but in laptop

1st Compaies don't allow overclocking
2nd if it will harm your system it will not come in warranty
3. you can use some soft wares to overclock but usually they are not so much effective as it will halt the some time and you ahev to restart it again better live with it whatever you have now

event though i have ATI6470 i also can not run BT

 

[Koovie]

Ok thanks for the quick advice guys


I think I will not overclock it, the dangers and the hot temperatures here wont go well together
And since my laptop is quite new I will leave it.

PS: And Battlefield 3 looks quite beautiful on high settings too. I can live without ultra sets.

@john.mccainn thanks a lot for the tip!

Razer Game Booster has really got an effect on my performance

When you have altered core/memory clocks,run those benchmarks .During this if screen starts appearing like this

Then quickly stop that bench and lower down your memory/core clocks, and run again that bench if ti shows tearing/artifacts or not.

PS:How is my english?

Dude!!! don't do it, it's a laptop for Christ sake. Overclocking will make your laptop heat like an oven. It's very difficult to provide adequate cooling to laps. Over heating will burn the board up. Even on desktops, we have to provide Liquid cooling or extra fans (depending upon the height of overclock) to keep the temps down, that even after careful calibration until achieving stable performance without artifacts. If you want to clear any doubt about overclocking, just visit the site I provided. Still many people do overclock their laptop gpu, but I don't recommend that. I had also overclocked my laptop gpu to squeeze some performance for gta iv, but the surge in temps are very discouraging and I reverted back to stock frequencies.

Laptops should mainly be avoided for gaming purposes. There are gaming laptops in the market, but they are unnecessarily expensive and difficult to upgrade later.

My advice, spend a little cash and get a desktop system for playing games. It's cheaper than a notebook and can be upgraded for future gaming requirements (for at least 2 - 4 years).

just go for play station....

To play Battlefield 3 on ultra settings

even if you installed ten nitrogen cooling systems and bought an entrie power station, you'd never be able to do that. You wasted you money on the i7, for gaming an i3 with 680m would have been better

M stands for mobility , another word for "integrated" , lol , don't do it !

nope, mobility just means cooler and/or lower power, integrated would be HD4000(or 3000 if 2nd gen)
To be honest, intel has worked well on the new HDs, theyre performance is now near nVidia 610 and 620s

 

[474474]

630 M is the newer architecture and runs cool...
You can overclock.....but keep monitoring the GPU temperature...
70' c is fine but beyond that its risky....
You will be better off setting a shut down temperature in your bios setting...for GPU-
If GPU goes beyond that temperature....lappy shuts down ...

It's kinda outdated, stupid manufactures slow to implement, actually 7xx series is new on nvid, and 8xxx are the new AMDs
I'm stuck with 630, coulnt find a single laptop with 730
pci e 3 has some power saving features over 2.1 and also the gfx MAY have smaller nm die
And the last sentence, shutting down is a huge blessing would you rather have it burned? Also i wouldnt recommend depending on it, monitor temps yourself rather than wait for maximum

Maybe in usa, but not always. Personal experience ays just buy a mediocre lappy and play games at medium settings, then mess with building a desktop (it's fun and you learn a lot though)

amd cheaper + long term + mobo etc cheaper and longer supported
