Morning community!
Just purchased an MSI GT72S 6QF-013US Dominator Pro G which was built to be overclocked.
I have successful got it from 2.70Ghz (turbo is auto-set 3.6Ghz) up to 4Ghz as you will see in Fig 1. via the CPU ratio w/o the need for voltage changes. CPU is latest Skylake i7-6820HK. It is fairly stable at this level although noticed when coming out of sleep using WIN10 PRO it will not go back to 4GHz (defaults to 3.60Ghz) unless I reboot OR even go back to sleep then come out of it. Even still, sometimes it will work as intended: stay @ 4Ghz, sleep it, bring it out, back to 4Ghz. Strange.
Laptop uses DDR4 2133Mhz Ram.
Whole system runs idle with the above set ~45c (CPU) and ~44c (GPU) and absolutely load up to ~90c (CPU) and ~85c (GPU) using Prime95 or Intel Extreme Tuning Utility.
My questions are as follows:
1) For the CPU overclock, based on what you see in the BIOS how much farther can I go. What voltages can I go up to (1.25V max?) and do I only attempt this using the Core CPU Voltage on other options there?
2) For MEM overclock, again, based on the BIOS figure what do you recommend I try with the timings + voltage?
3) Re: Fig 2. Do I need to change any of those settings to further obtain a speed boost?
Any advice/comments/suggestions would be MOST appreciated!
Thanks everyone!
