Intel HD 620 Overclocking advice needed.

[arkamesh]

Hello! Thanks for finding my question.
I would like to overclock my GPU.
I am aware, that this process might damage my laptop and invalidate my warranty. I have downloaded the IETU tool and I am looking forward to increase performance of my graphic chip.


Laptop details:
HP Pavilion Intel Core i5 7th gen 7200u, 8GB ram. Intel HD Graphics 620.

Would you be so kind and suggest what would be the (safe) level of overclocking the GPU?
How far push the sliders etc.
A couple extra FPS (in stress situation) in games like WoW would be amazing!

PS. My apologies for my grammar.
THANKS!

I know that you want to overclock a notebook, but first, buy a very good cooling pad, but even then i wouldent rather doing that. Better to optimaze your system or look and optimaze settings on your hd graphics controller. O, and what temperatures do you get when your playing some games, or even browsing? That would be very helpfull.

First of all sorry for my bad english I'm writing this cause I thought it could help u so I hope it does.
I have the same specs as yours and I tried to add +1.0 on all that available graphics options on XTU from 31.00 (default) to 32.00 but it actually did nothing even in my laptop temperature so I benchmarked my fps before and after I do that in two games and there was no difference, min, max and avg still the same.
so after a lot of tries to improve my hd 620 perf I found and did something almost miraculous

I found that the VRAM from the Intel HD 620 could actually be increased from 128mb to 256 ( i think it's the maximum supported)
Watch this video below and follow his steps

Pay attention that he puts the value of 512 on the box that is supposed to be the new Vram value and then it is showed 1298, but it is not the real Vram you'll get, you will get only the maximum that your onboard supports like mine (256mb) even if I set that value to 2000+ it will only still geting the limit of its maximum VRAM.

Before doing this i highly recommend you to benchmark games' max fps to compare and see if it actually improved the performance, and don't worry if it is a dangerous overclocking because it's not even an overclock, you are just trading a little bit of RAM for Vram, but lets say it's a "Safe Overclock" =)

In the most of my games i got a +8-10 fps boost after doing this and my temperature still the same (45C) (maximum of 70 while in-game which is very acceptable).
