Hey guys, I'm not exactly new to overclocking, but neveder done anything more than "light" software/BIOS OC. I've got Toshiba P50-A-13C laptop with i7-4700MQ & nVidia GT 740m. It ain't much, but I feel there is more performance than it shows inside. My main focus is to overclock the hell out of that GPU, since it's seriously holding me back in games. I used NVinspector to go from 1058MHz to 1104MHz on the core, but it seems to be on the edge of stability. Attatching .xlsx file with HWinfo logs + graphs from 3DMark Skydiver benchmark. I'd be grateful for any additional info you can tell me guys. Thanks a lot Smile Laptop Analysisv2.xlsx

The cooling system also keeps your GPU in place. I found a workaround that functions (though it's not very reliable) on this GPU. When I tried it, the GPU hit its temperature limit very soon.

Cooling remains unaffected; a custom bracket has been created to move the coldplate onto the GPU, and liquid metal will be used. Lowering the GPU temperature from 90°C to 60°C doesn’t impact performance now. Would you like advice on how to increase its cooling further, since it seems you already have an idea?

Open Nvidia Inspector, it might need some tweaks. Verify the actual clock speed using GPU-Z.

When it fails, simply increase the voltage, correct?

Yep,and if you reached the max then you will have to lower the clock a bit. You will have to make sure the overclock really applies with GPU-Z.

Your graph lines indicate the CPU is operating far below its potential. The 4700MQ can maintain continuous performance up to 3.4 GHz. You should notice this speed or higher during a 3D Mark evaluation. To get the best results from your 4700MQ, download and share some images of ThrottleStop.
