APU Turbo boost
APU Turbo boost
hello people, this is a bit silly question, but I hope you can help me. I have a laptop processor with integrated graphics, and although it performs very well in games, I feel that it could perform better, because the MHz of the APU, never reaches its maximum (1300 MHz), it is always below 950MHz. Can I do turbo boost or something similar to improve this?
Laptops usually face performance constraints because of temperature. Even if temperatures aren't an issue, your device remains constrained by the maximum power consumption of its components. You should begin by checking the CPU temperature while playing a game. If you lack a second monitor for live monitoring, consider using software like HWinfo64 to record peak values. After that, you're limited by whether any adjustments are feasible given the laptop's design. The optimal approach is to lower the voltage, which cuts power usage and heat, helping the processor approach its ideal speed.

I've been keeping track of GPU and CPU usage, temperature, etc. It handles heat well, staying under 70 degrees, but the BIOS is quite restrictive and doesn't allow increasing the frequency. I could try undervolting, but what I really want is for the GPU to run at the MHz it should in games (1300), rather than the lower speeds it reaches (900 or 800 MHz). Do you think it's possible?
So temps aren't an issue, but the clock throttling is because of power limits. Like I said, undervolting reduces power draw at a given frequency, which would allow the machine to run higher frequency within the power envelope.
Anything else is going to be at the mercy of what you tell us you can adjust. If there's any option to increase the power limit, that would obviously help.
Hi:
You might want to blow some compressed air into your laptop to remove the dust.
I own a laptop with an Intel i7-3740 CPU, which is at about 70% of its maximum speed. I occasionally give it a good blast of compressed air. It's also placed on a cooling pad.
