checkinindza Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Forget about it, CPU isn't even overclockable in the first place and that laptop isn't made for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
play.ashu Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) you probably didn't heard about BCLK overclocking and Haswell microcode bug. and i see good overclocking potential in my laptop as it's temperatures never cross 65*C on full load and I have never heard it fans spinning at full speed (expect while flashing bios) in the last 6 years with this laptop.
