Hello guys,
I ordered an ASUS 15.6'' ROG G551JM that I plan to use for Photoshop (image editing), some Video Editing, but I will also like to try the last games available. The exact spec of my machine will be:
- 15.6" Full HD, IPS
- Intel i7 4710HQ (2.5 GHz, 4 cores, up to 3.5 with Turbo Boost)
- 4 GB of GeForce GTX 860M with Maxwell arhitecture
- 16 GB of DDR3L RAM
- 256 GB of Kingston SSD
I know that my 860M GPU is more like mid-range so I thought it will be great to OC it a bit, to get some additional FPS in high demanding games. Now... Can you please guide me how to do it? I guess I don't need to OC the CPU too because it looks like the GPU is the bottleneck... so OC-ing the CPU wont have any impact on the performance I assume. Let me know about your opinion please.
Also, if you have any tips of what else to do with my soon-to-be laptop, I will appreciate it a lot.
I will buy an external HDD for some aditional storage and I might install games there and run them directly from the external drive. I heard the cooling system it's pretty good so I think there is no need for additional external cooler. Or should I buy one of that too?
I also plan to make it dual boot with Windows 8.1 and Linux. Oh, I almost forgot... will OCing the laptop cause any real problems? (like losing its warranty or reducing the span life of its components)
Thank you very much! Greatly appreciated!
