Intel HD 520 Integrated Graphics only going up to 950MHz

[Microsoft Windows 8]

Hi Tom's Hardware,

On many sources from which I have read from (Such as notebookcheck.net and laptoping.com) the Integrated Intel 520 Graphics Card is supposed to clock up to 1000MHz on my i5-6200U (1050MHz on i7-6500U).

However, on my laptop the card only goes up to 950MHz. I am unable to change this setting in the BIOS, Intel XTU, or any overclocking utility.

Would acer (my manufacturer) be turning the dials down a bit deliberately? I don't see why, because it is a 15 inch notebook.

I would like to change the clock to 1GHz because I do care about the actual frame or two. (I also wouldn't mind having the 3 digit clock upped to a 4 digit one )

I am using latest BIOS, and display drivers.

System:
15.6" Acer Aspire F5-572G-595M
Intel Core i5-6200U
Intel HD 520 and GeForce 920M
Samsung 850 Pro 500GB
8GB DDR3 L RAM

They likely clocked it down for stability or cooling. It doesn't matter as when you game the Geforce 920M takes over so you would never notice an issue in games.
