To do what you say on the dell M6700 you must first install an XM series processor. For example 3920XM or 3940XM XM = Extreme Edition = Unlocked multiplier In addition to this processor you also need a bios that allows you to change the CPU settings. The DELL M6700 is locked by default. Your processor is factory locked at these maximum speeds: single core turbo 3.7ghz dual core turbo 3.6ghz turbo on 4 cores 3.5 ghz As also visible from the throttlestop program

Your processor is factory locked and you cannot unlock it. As visible in the picture the maximum speed is: single core turbo 2.9ghz double core turbo 2.8ghz turbo on 4 cores 2.6 ghz

Generally a good quality thermal conductive paste can lower the temperature of several degrees but it also depends on the type of heatsink and the type of fan. In your case I think that the heatsink and the fan are undersized and are a bottleneck. Surely undervolting the GPU could be a solution to your problem but surely the BIOS should be locked and does not allow you to lower the voltage with MSI AFTERBURNER or similar programs. With the BIOS locked you can only lower the working frequency of the GPU and RAM.

I saw that there are 2 models of heatsinks for the HP 8770w notebook. If the heatsink is designed for 75w installing a 100w video card will lead to a temperature increase. Check which type of heatsink you have installed, there are 2 versions, the one with double heat pipe is the best one.

This is the configuration of a gt70 that I have. I am using the frequency of 3.4ghz for 4 cores. The temperature under stress is 95 degrees. TDP comes in at 45w I have done a voltage drop of -80.1 mV This is the maximum configuration I was able to achieve with my notebook that can run 24 hours without going into THROTTLING.

Theoretically for lq cpu 4810MQ you can overclock up to: 42x for the first core 41x for the second core 40x for the third core 40x for the fourth core Beyond you can not go because the multipliers are locked by the factory. However, using the CPU at 4ghz for all 4 cores on a notebook such as the GT70 from MSI involves the overcoming of two limitations 1) The temperature that reaches over 90 degrees under stress and involves a reduction of the clock. 2) Limit on power consumption (TDP) which should have a peak of 65-70w for a few seconds and then stabilize around 47w. If you exceed the temperature limit or the TPD limit any overclock you set will be cut in performance. Who wants to improve the performance of this cpu must work on optimization. You have to find the right compromise by setting a "clock" speed that does not make the temperatures rise above 90 degrees and that does not exceed the limitations imposed by the TDP (Thermal Design Power). You can download the program THROTTLESTOP that at the moment has arrived at version 9.4. For this you can also act on the voltage trying to favor a slight undervolt of the cpu.

Hi everyone. I found this forum from google. My current computer is an msi gt70 first series. Glad to be here
