1050 overclock in a laptop?
1050 overclock in a laptop?
It isn't safe or advised. You may quickly saturate the cooling system.
That's correct. Even with overclocking, you'd hit the cooler's limits and then it would slow back down (thermal throttling) to avoid overheating. The most viable option, though untested, is to under-volt the GPU and check for stability. An under-volt would lower heat production, allowing the GPU to run faster before needing to cool down.
I understand it's a bit delayed, but I thought it might be useful...
With tools like MSI Afterburner or EVGA Precision X, you can adjust the maximum clockspeed by adding an offset without changing the voltage. The same voltage at a higher speed still allows proper cooling since extra heat isn't generated.
It seems the adjustment happens in 13MHz increments—start from the lower setting and increase gradually until the GPU fails, then go back to the last working value.
I haven't tried yet.
It's getting warm already, so I was hoping to get some noctuos thermal paste.
Right now, I'm pretty broke as a college student because I have a part-time job at the college library.

I get it. I actually tested it myself and saw some solid improvements. By increasing the core clock by over 26 and the mem clock by more than 50, I managed a 10 FPS boost in Rainbow Six Siege. All my other games also stayed stable around 60. I tend to crank up the fans a bit depending on the game, but I think it's worth it for the performance gains.
Do you need to install software or simply access the BIOS? I used a Clevo by ProStar and didn’t even try entering the BIOS. I’m not sure if that’s possible.
MSI Afterburner has been my choice, and it appears to function well. Give it a shot and check the outcomes.
