scarastisis Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 For the cpu you can go into bios and enable cpu lvl 1 in the performance tab. That will give you a 200 MHz overclock to 3.8ghz if I remember correctly. That's the easiest way but Alienware is know to set the voltages higher than they should be. Won't affect you much but will make things a bit warmer. Other than that you can use xtu to overclock the cpu. There are plenty of guides in the Alienware section as well as others results that you can look at to get you in the ballpark of what settings to tweakSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ws6nightcat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 for day to day use the most noticeable upgrade would be an ssd swap if you don't have one. i'm running an xm processor and i can notice a difference between lvl 1 and lvl 4 overclocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madcat Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 To download vBios files from T|I you need 5 quality posts.As for OC'ing the GPU you can use MSI Afterburner, Asus GPU Tweak, or EVGA Precision X.You will see a benefit when OC'ing the 770m's, however, you can only go to +135 on the core clock with MSI Afterburner on the stock bios (https://rog.asus.com/forum/showthread.php?35358-Overclocking-a-gtx770M)As always with OC'ing, be carefull and do it in steps, not all chips react the same to OC'ing (not every piece of silicone is the same).
