AMD 3420M APU Overclocking + Performance improving

ZackZ · Mar 23, 2015

Hello, I have a Lenovo Z575 with an AMD 3420M APU and a intergrated 6520G, im currently trying to get better performance in game, i have updated my AMD Catalyst, overclocked my processor from 1500MHz to 2200 MHz, and added a cooling pad to keep the temperature stable when using the higher clock speeds, this has increase my performance slightly but i would like to increase it even further. Anyone got any ideas how?

CPU - AMD 3420M Quad Core (Overclocked from 1500MHz to 2200MHz)

Getting a new laptop is the only thing you can do. You have already done everything possible. Time for a new one if you want better performance.

Would I be capable of overclocking the GPU in the APU?

ZackZ :

Check the BIOS options. I'm actually surprised your CPU did not burn out yet even with a cooling pad.

I would not waste time trying to overclock a laptop not made for games, the end result can easily be a dead laptop due to damaged CPU. Best thing to do is to sell the laptop and get a faster one instead of trying to overclock it and possibly killing it.

If you try too far to get it overclocked, CPU gets damaged, you can't even sell it anymore.
