Latest Intel XTU allows 2 bins for G751 / i7-4710HQ

Hey, guys.

So in the i7-4720HQ thread >here< Antoine supposedly came across something interesting.
All I had to do was install XTU 6.0.2.8 (which had to be done manually, since XTU itself didn't recognize the new version) and voila. 3.5 > 3.7GHz. Haven't done any benchmarks yet, but there you have it.

Previously, this wasn't possible with firmware over version 202, though I have not tested older versions of XTU for it...since, apparently, this version bypasses whatever changes ASUS might have made. Thanks, Intel?
No troubles so far with it ... an extra 100MHz is an extra 100MHz. Dunno what changed.
I imagine this would work for all G751s. Have a go I guess, not much to lose.
No problems with Watchdog, either. Running firmware ver. 207 and Win10. warryabel thinks it won't work on Win8?

By "too late" I meant bricking the laptop having no way to google/use forums to get help. 🙂

Oky, so I ran Realbench with GPu also OCed and I've done multiple runs. It is a little better right now, but I'm still 10k points shorter from your lowest score :)). Oh well, I've actually done everything I could for the moment. I'll see once again when I get back home and add a dual-channel kit to my unit.

Here's the latest comparison: http://rog.asus.com/realbench/show_comment.php?id=11405&compare=11476 . I think you've got a 4710hq on steroids or something :)).


I'm going to run some stability tests too cause I got a blue screen earlier right after benchmarking. I was previously using -80mv/-80mv with the maximum Intel XTU multipliers so if -75mv won't be stable, I think that -70mv will be for sure. I'll just have to see.

I'm gonna come back if I have any news or improvements. Thanks for all the help Andreasco ! And the other guys from this thread ofc :D.

I also was using -80/-80 mV with x36 multiplier for months without issues, but with x37 I had a crash at -50mV. I'll test at -40mV.

Let us know if you improve with Dual Channel RAM 🙂

Have you overclocked your GPU?
If yes, try reducing memory clock. Happened the same to me..

no oc on gpu if this causing by nftools? i have no chance the luxmarkbench make trouble gpu driver restore...or modified vbios?

now by trying to get luxmark to work i have several times try with settings in bios or devicemanager or installed btw. deinstalled some things
but now is strange, icant get xtu properly work in cpl is wdt present but was not in devicemanager, when i installed the driver manually i get a yello hello in devicemanager with error 10. when i deinstal in devicemanager the wdt driver wdt is still present in cpl!
i need no wdt but why i get xtu no correct working? have reinstalled chipset,mei,cppc and xtu several times no chance. the biggest **** is the 38x multi was gone no plan where he is...

I don't know what is wrong with XTU.. I decided to not touch it anymore, I leave RAM latency at 10 and Reference Clock to effective 100.1 (101.3 was too much), it applies setting at each boot but I will not open it to avoid conflicts with ThrottleStop.

Check if Windows created a restore point before you uninstalled/installed softwares and try to restore it.

now all seems fine... manually deinstalled watchdog and xtu driver under not visible devices... now i can change the multi in xtu but the ram timings away! its funny how you can waste a lot time...

You could just use Throttlestop 8 Beta 7 to unlock the x38, x37, x36, x36 multipliers :). It's easier than messing up with bugging Intel XTU.

i used ts8 the whole time...xtu was a present for undervolting but now undervolting is easy with ts8... ramtimings are ramtimings, and xtu bench is only xtu bench...lol
