tom10122 Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 I have the modded bios installed which allows my y500 to overclock the GPU but is there anyway I can overclock the little i5? I'm not paying to 100+ to upgrade to the i7 , I'll just invest in my desktop if it needs to come to that. tried the intel extreme overclocking utility but to no avail.

Bios Modder Klem Posted October 26, 2015 Bios Modder Share Posted October 26, 2015 No, for this processor, overclock is impossible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soumen08 Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 For games, it should make little to no difference. The Y500 tends to have reasonable graphics right? If its editing etc though, overclocking wont help much since the speed of an i7 comes from the other cores, which allow a process to distribute the load. This isnt possible with the i5 you have at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
