The 4710HQ features a secured multiplier. It is not possible to exceed its limits. If overheating occurs, consider lowering voltage or updating the thermal paste.

Odd... the Multiplier is available on mines and can be boosted to 3.8Ghz from the base speed of 2.5Ghz. Appreciate the reply. P.S. I also changed the thermal paste.

The 4710HQ features the standard specifications available on CPU World. Some Intel 4th Generation CPUs support limited overclocking, typically adding around +2 or +4 watts beyond the base rating. You may need to adjust your BIOS, Intel XTU settings, or use ThrottleStop to enable this. Once configured, reaching the long-term 45 Watt cap seems unlikely. Share some images if you have them.
