Hello everyone, I'm looking for ways to boost performance on my system. I have a locked CPU and a motherboard with a dead end. I was wondering if there are any overlooked options beyond overclocking the GPU with afterburner. Since I can't use Intel ETU or similar tools, and my RAM is 2666 DDR4 (my board supports that), I'm open to suggestions. XMP is already enabled, and thermal management is solid at around 60°C under load. Thanks in advance for any help! RankedSixth

The storage devices are quick. Would it be worth upgrading the GPU?

I’m focusing on more software updates while developing another system. Just enjoying the process and exploring possibilities.

Consider lowering the app settings and opting for a less demanding operating system.

If the turbo power caps aren't secured, you can adjust them with ThrottleStop. Share a screenshot from the TPL window.

You can check the Turbo power limit window using hwinfo. Throttlestop Laptop is a specific model, so it may have its own settings. Let me know if you need more details!

ThrottleStop works with many Intel processors, both for computers and phones, updated within the past decade. Get it from TechPowerUp. Click the TPL button to launch the Turbo Power Limits window. Share a screenshot so I can show you the available options. The 9700F now allows unlocked turbo limits if your motherboard BIOS hasn’t restricted them.
