Overclocking laptop possible?
Hi, I have a Dell Vostro 3750 with an i5-2430 processor and GT525M graphics. It’s an old and weak laptop, but I found something interesting online: the GT525M can reach GT555M speeds or even higher, as mentioned in a forum thread. I also tried using MSI Afterburner to overclock the GPU with various settings, which improved frame rates. I’m curious about the best driver version and software to use. In another forum post, someone showed that the GT525M can reach up to 3.8 GHz, while Intel claims its maximum turbo is around 3 GHz. I want to know if overclocking the CPU is safe and what the risks are.
I’d have to agree... but if it’s a poor laptop you wouldn’t care about if it stopped working—go all out. Well, I shouldn’t say that—so soft. Begin with small steps; I’d be concerned about memory, just the core. But eventually, you’ll end up harming the device itself. If you don’t mind and no longer need it, have fun!
P.S. Share some photos of the damage, please! That would be great! Heh Heh... what? Beavis and Butthead died in the 90s? (Mostly) Yeah, I think I’m getting old.
