So many people have wondered how to overclock a CPU on a laptop, including myself. And while I have never considered myself an overclocking expert, I have found a way to "overclock" a laptop CPU over the maximum clock speed.
I put overclock in quotations because some enthusiasts or more experienced over clockers might not consider this true overclocking, for one reason or another.
But all that matters is that this works.
If your laptop is slow, or maybe you just want a boost in performance, this tutorial is for you.
This tutorial on how to overclock is super simple, and only takes around a minute to do. No fiddling with the BIOS or voltage required.
Obviously, overclocking will decrease battery life and increase thermals (I'll discuss this later), but if you have a laptop that is slow like mine, it is definitely worth it.
SO FINALLY, HERE'S THE TUTORIAL
1.What you'll need to do is search for Power Options on your PC. Do this in Cortana or the Search bar on Windows 7. If you can't find it, go to control panel> hardware and sound> and Power Options.
2. Now, open the program up, and click 'Show more options'.
3. Then, click on 'High Performance Mode'.
4. That's it.
Now, you may be thinking that the process was too simple, and I agree. However, it actually works, and here's how.
Depending on the load and intensity of the things you are doing on your PC, the clock speed of your processor will fluctuate in speeds to match the processing power needed for that task. The speeds will almost never stay constant, but will improve performance by A LOT.
Now, for thermals:
I have a Pentium N3710 on an Inspiron 11-3186. This laptop is completely passively cooled, aka no fans. The overclocked has been working perfectly for me for around a week, with absolutely no problems.
It significantly improved the performance of my PC, and hopefully it will for your laptop, too!
Thanks,
