Michael Prechtl Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 is the Intel Core i7-3630QM CPU overclockable? when yes with what program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator BAKED Posted January 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2013 No you can't I'm afraid. The 37xxqm and up only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator BAKED Posted January 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2013 The 3720qm and above has overclockable turbo and the XM's have unlocked multiplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 37xxm and 38xxm have a semi-unlocked multi and thus can be overclocked to a certain extent, provided the bios allows it, that is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moz Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 What bios can allow that ? I don't have this option in the default clevo bios... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svl7 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 The M17x R4 and M18x R2 if I'm not mistaken. I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't available in the Clevo bios...Clevo has never been known for their overclocking features in the bios. You might try XTU, or maybe @Prema has something magic in his repository for your system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Prechtl Posted January 30, 2013 Author Share Posted January 30, 2013 soo i have to buy a xm cpu? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khenglish Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 If you have a P170EM you can overclock the BCLK with Intel XTU. A P150EM can also be overclocked if you flash on the P170EM bios. It won't get you much, but it's more than nothing.The 3720qm and up can be overclocked by 4 multipliers in addition to BCLK overclocks. The xm series allow any multiplier as well as any power limit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhawk Posted January 31, 2013 Share Posted January 31, 2013 You can overclock an I7-3610QM or 3630QM, provided you have a bios that enables that function. I currently do on my MSI GT70 that allows the changing of BCLK. While you can't change it much (roughly only 2 or 3 MHz), it's enough that if you really NEED that extra little bit, you can. I don't, because suffice it to say, I care more about my video card having a higher overclock than my CPU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arju Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 my cpu too come with 3630M, overclock CPU or GPU better? if 650M GPU.I7 tend to more heat than i5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaacucb Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 What about the use of throttlestop? Or is it solely dependent on the type of bios you're running? It seems I keep running into overclocking issues (GPU and now CPU) with this sager I just bought, geez lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaacucb Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Hi all.Just an update on this matter. I use a sager np9150, with a core i7 3630qm and throttlestop seems to be working for me. Although I've read in numerous threads that there is some issues using it, I haven't ran into any. Right now, I'm in the middle of running prime95 to stress test/see if throttlestop is actually doing what its supposed to. From what I can tell, it seems like throttlestop is definitely making my cpu work harder as I increase the multiplier. Has anyone else had luck with this software, or am I just fooling myself? What limits have you been able to push your cpu to?More results to come 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaacucb Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Just an update. From what I'm reading and researched, I'm guessing that throttlestop on my machine is only allowing me to work WITHIN the limits placed on my cpu. To explain, I don't think I'm getting an overclock. However, I'm running prime95, no throttlestop used and the cpu is only pushing out a multiplier of 17 (as opposed to base 12) so if im not mistaken, the cpu is requesting more power when it needs to. I looked at notebookcheck, and indeed, this cpu is supposed to run like this, hunting up and down for power depending on what kind of load is being applied to it. Run throttlestop though, and set the multiplier yourself ( I set mine to turbo ), my cpu is now operating at a 30+ multiplier consistently while running prime95, instead of hunting up and down.If anything else comes up, I'll make sure to post it here.Cheers!

cskx2001 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 for the i7-3xxxQM series CPUs it can be a tad tricky. Anything below 3720QM, you are stuck to its specifics and cannot go any higher unless you increase the BCLK. The only issue there is the most you will see is maybe a 5% increase in performance that way.Now once you get to a 3720QM and higher, you can, if the Bios permits, or if ThrottleStop is installed, you can push the CPU 400Mhz higher than it is set to run. My 3740QM runs at 3.5ghz on all 4 cores, 3.6ghz on 2 cores and 3.7ghz on a single core. With ThrottleStop, or TS, I am running at 3.9ghz on 4 cores, and so on. Once you hit the XM line of CPU, then you can push it as long and hard as you have the available juice and heat dissipation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fusionseed Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 So, I can't overclock the multiplier of 3610qm even in your unlocked bioses? @svl7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskx2001 Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 The CPU is hard-coded to not be over lockable unless you play with the Bclk. Nothing can be done to tweak that. Even if you could, the CPU would not take. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellons Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 can you link a bios to oc i7 3630qm in clevo p170em, thanks Honestly, I would not suggest it. While it might get you 2 or 3 MHz like darkhawk says, it is very possible you could brick your system. 2-3 Mhz is an absolutely tiny amount compared to the turbo of ~3 Ghz. Plus such a small improvement won't be noticeable, especially in gaming. Like darkhawk said, while a CPU is important in gaming, the GPU is used up and bottlenecked much quicker. Unless you have a 680m or 7970m I wouldn't worry about the CPU (even then it would only be neck-to-neck). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gokica Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Using throttlestop on my i7 3630qm made it heat up to 95 degrees while normally it will never go above 80 (in Prime95) for example. So be careful with the program and monitor the temperatures constantly. I am using ASUS G75VX.Since the turbo is limited (3.4 GHz only 1 core active but less when more cores are loaded) is there a way for the bios to be modded so that all cores run at 3.4GHz simultaneously. Which option should I turn on/off in the "hidden" menus/options of the bios? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nfshp253 Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Got a question. Does the turbo boost overclock all the cores or just one core? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MemotaZyka Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 How many degrees the temperature rises after make this overclock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captmario Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Got a question. Does the turbo boost overclock all the cores or just one core?if you are on 3630qm then turbo boost can boost single core upto 3.4 ghz, dual core upto 3.3 ghz and 4 cores upto 3.2 ghz. so yes turbo boost overclocks all cores.

But I heard Turbo Boost only lasts for a while, and not throughout the duration required for an application that is CPU intensive, is that right?
