OC Laptop Graphics possible?

NDDU Julius BSIT · Sep 20, 2016

Tried running MSI Afterburner but my display drivers keep on crashing and at worse my pc crashes onto blue screen when it reaches more than this:

Are there other ways to overcome this problem?
I have a ASUS X456U Notebook with these specs:

Intel Core i5 6200U @ 2.80 GHz Quad Core
Nvidia GeForce GT940MX 2GB DDR3
Samsung DDR4 3333 MHz
Windows 10 Pro 64-bit

Maxing out the core clock with no voltage added in is likely to cause that problem, have you read any overclocking guides?

mcnumpty23 · Sep 20, 2016

yes its possible to though how far i dont know

and unless your laptop has has adequate cooling to cope with it i would be careful doing it

No not really...overclocking is new for me because I recently got this laptop and my desktop CANNOT be overclocked because it has a intergrated AMD GPU

I guess...I am just worried how far I can go

Id start by reading a few overclocking guides, they wont tell you exactly what settings to use but they will tell you how to get a reasonable clock, as mcnumpty pointed out temperature will most likely be the limiting factor with a laptop

mcnumpty23 · Sep 20, 2016

if your laptop allows adding voltage to it then even more reason to watch the temperature as more voltage means more heat

muddyparrot :

The voltage slider on the MSI afterburner is greyed out...so now what?

mcnumpty23 · Sep 20, 2016

NDDU Julius BSIT :

you have to go into settings and tick a box to allow voltage control

thats assuming you can add voltage to it

mcnumpty23 · Sep 20, 2016

and if it allows it and you have any problems with the overclock not letting you boot up

tap ctrl key as its starting to over ride the over clock

though as i already said hope you are monitoring the gpu temperature

Well i guess my overclocking is limited only to the Core and Memory

Increase core and memory clock speed in small increments, it is all covered in overclocking guides, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/faq/id-2749337/safe-gpu-overclocking-guide-2016.html. that is a good one as it shows what to look for when things go wrong

doesnt really surprise me to be honest its not the same as a desktop gpu where you can get rid of excess heat much easier

Anyways thank you for the help...overwhelmed at first when I got this new notebook and overclocking got me curious

hey no problem

and everything i have if it can be overclocked it is lol
