Use a stress test software like Prime 95 (without AVX) and Intel burn test. If it crashes (bluescreen), tells you that there is an error or have microfreezes, it is not stable. If it says it passes, it's stable. I personnally use Intel burn test on high. Rodolphe.

It will crash and give you a blue screen ;) The rule is, let everything on auto, then stress test and note your voltage and frequency and put them manually in bios. Then you have two path to follow : 1°/ Better performance : Bump your multiplier until it's not stable then bump voltage...

Hi Wurtti, We can't now in advance what it can do but at least the stock boost frequency is achievable. The rule is, reset bios and let EVERYTHING on auto (CPU and RAM) then stress test and note your CPU voltage and CPU frequency and put them manually in bios. (don't bother with cache and RAM...

Hi Karanoz, Those freezes indicate a non stable GPU overclock. Are you sure to have rolled back the settings in afterburner? Rodolphe.

I'm sorry Topcin but I really need to know what you've done to it while you have disassembled your laptop. What do you mean by "having Heated the graphics card"? Rodolphe.

is it an air cooler or liquid cooler? If liquid, how much fan do you have on it? Rodolphe.

Which Cooler do you have? Rodolphe.

Why have you heated your graphics card, I don't understand. Rodolphe.

Hi Bodhi, That's a normal behavior with the XTU stress test, it uses different instructions to stress the CPU so it means different temperature. But reaching 80°C in XTU (not really stressing) is not really good. As I said, XTU is a soft stress test not like Prime95 which will make your CPU...

Hi Topcin, Could you explain a bit more what you've done precisely? Could you give us your specs? Rodolphe.

Hi, Your card has a beefy cooler on it so it weights a lot. There's no problem, that's normal but you can buy a bracket to help for the visual. Rodolphe.

You're welcome! Have fun with all this power! Rodolphe.

Yes, it can be your bottleneck. In fact, the ram needs to works by 2(dual channel) to have all of it's performance. 2 ram sticks has to be separated by an empty slot. Check your motherboard manual to see where to put them. Rodolphe.

Hi mrizkhan20, during the past few years, I5 were the gaming kings. Now, I7 begin to be more adequate for that because games are saturating up to 6 Threads like BF1 hammering even the I5 8600k. So for gaming, at least the 7700k (8 threads). I would recommend if not on budget to go with the...

Is your ram in dual channel mode? Rodolphe.
