gt 610m 2gb overclock

[kurtaka123]

Hi guys i have laptop with gt 610m 2gb and i overclocked it at 1060mhz core clock (from 850) and 898mhz memory clock (from 800) all running at 87max degrees C° stable(ish) using msi afterburner. The problem is that the voltage is locked and i can't change it... Is there anyway to unlock it or push the gpu even harder?

Yes/no

The voltage is locked, and honestly you probably don't want to go further at that amount of heat you are risking your entire system dying form over heating.

It is probably best I don't tell you out of concern for you damaging your system, but if I don't you might find it other places anyways. If you use Nvidia Inspector you can overclock the Nvidia GPU more stably usually. That is what I used on my laptop with a GT 620M. While voltage remains locked, you can use a batch file with Nvidia Inspector to force the GPU to run in it's turbo mode regardless of heat and voltage. I had to do this cause mine wouldn't turbo no matter what. Anyways the turbo mode will use a little bit higher voltage than default and allow further overclocking. It will probably allow further overclocking on the RAM too.

Again though, your temps are dangerously too high, and you should back down until you can change the thermal paste to better cool it.

Sorry for the double post, I also wanted to ask what is your CPU?

In my laptop I use an Ivy Bridge i7-3632QM, which is a quad-core. However, because of heat issues, I get better gaming performance normally if I lock my CPU down to 85% max clock frequency. This can be done under battery management. The results were about 8% better performance thanks to reduced heat and better efficiency of the GPU, as they share a cooler.

My cpu is i3 2350m 2.3ghz. The whole system pretty much sucks but w/e.

If you are good with hardware, you might see if the CPU is in a socket. If so for about $50 you could trade out the CPU for an Ivy Bridge i5. The biggest benefit of this is that it would use less power and produce less heat, but it might not work.

Even with just using the i3, you might benefit from limiting the CPU speed, like I said at that temperature its lucky your system hasn't already died from excess heat.
