GT650M is dissapointing me

[Mzmkont]

Oh. I was worried about this. Thanks.

 

[iceclock]

no dont overclock a laptop thats just stupid, overclocking maybe lightly the videocard fine, but leave the dang cpu alone 0-0. do whatever u want but if u fry it. dont say we dint say so.

 

[Mzmkont]

I dont want to oc my cpu. Just gpu

 

[Mzmkont]

So yeah. While playing GPU sits on 75. Sometimes 80. CPU the same.
So. What do you think?

 

[iceclock]

thats pretty hot. try bringing up the fanspeed. a laptop cooler would help

 

[Mzmkont]

I have one. Temps are 70, 75. Something like this.

 

[iceclock]

not bad.

 

[Mzmkont]

So yeah. How much should I OC my GPU?

 

[nikoli707]

hwmonitor/gpuz etc will report wrong temps and voltages in laptop, my a10-4600m with built in 7660g says it runs at like 120c under full load according to gpuz, im on it right now at it says is at 92c lol

its wrong, 120c would be like 250f, it would be melting if it was that high.

and your overclock might net you 10% at best but at 30fps your only gonna get a merely 3 fps. 30 vs 33 fps, nobody is going to notice that and the extra heat and possible voided warranty is just not worth it.

my 7660g is stock at 650mhz and i had it pegged at 1300mhz once just to see if it would run a benchmark, but i only got like 15% more performance and a whole lot of fan noise and heat, so i just put it back to stock because it didn't make any difference in say, bf3 or skyrim. i could also force the cpu turbo mode if i wanted but i like battery life better so i undervolted my cpu a little and got some cheap low voltage low latency ram and threw in an extra 120gb ssd and i get like 7 hours battery life on my hp m6, same laptop as your dv6 just slightly slimmer.

 

[Mzmkont]

Hmm. Intresting. But I was thinking about overclocking to 970 MHz core / 1425 MHz

 

[Mzmkont]

So what do you think about OCing my GPU to 970 MHz core / 1425 MHz ?

 

[iceclock]

id say. monitor ur temps while ur gaming. u want them under 82* degrees anything higher may harm ur pc.

 

[Mzmkont]

About 80 if im gaming intensive gimes. Sometimes it goes up to 85. But thats max.

 

[Mzmkont]

I just ran MSI Kombustor and temps are about 75 and FPS 120. So yeah.

 

[nikoli707]

yeah my hp laptop is the same thing m6/dv6 and that fan on the side will go nuts when the temps get high.

 

[Mzmkont]

So yeah guys. My question now is. Should I OC my GPU to 970 MHz core / 1425 MHz?


P.S. How do I know If my laptop can run 1600Mhz RAM?

 

[nikoli707]

your laptop can run 1600 ram, im guessing you have 6 gb of 1600 from the factory. download cpuz and look at the memory section, if it says frequency of 800 then its 1600, if it says 667 then its 1333

 

[Mzmkont]

It says 799 MHz. As I checked I have some Chinese RAM. And if I buy some Corsair or Kingston will it power my system?

 

[nikoli707]

yeah thats 1600. whats the timing table say for clocks, 9 10 9 27 1t, something like that? how much is installed?

 

[Mzmkont]

Its 16GB
Clocks
10
10
10
28
Should I buy Kingston or Corsair?

 

[nikoli707]

16gb jebus praise him, lol, dont know how or why you got so much. i was going to say go with the same adata 1.35v cas9 1600 i got for mine for $30 but thats only 8gb. faster ram on my trinity apu makes quite a difference, on your intel based system its not going to make much of a difference. i would say just stick with what you got, for the money its just not worth it and you will hardly notice the difference moving to cas9 1600/cas10 1866

 

[iceclock]

8 gigs is fine for gaming. id say turn the clockspeed down those temps are hot

 

[Mzmkont]

Iceclock. I didnt OC my system. But should I ? Should I OC my GPU to 970 MHz core / 1425 MHz?

 

[iceclock]

no dont overclock ur cpu. u can try oc the gpu but monitor the temps closely as it tends ton get hot fast and nothing above 82*celcius

 

[Mzmkont]

I dont want to OC my CPU. Just GPU. You dont undestand me. I just want to OC my GPU, not CPU. And I want to OC it to 970 MHz core / 1425 MHz mem. Should I ?
