Hey guys, I've been messing with some OC's and I seem to have a nice stable one for my GPU, which is 0997/0881/5500 and the GPU has stayed very cool with no issues.
Mainly I was wondering about OC'ing the CPU. I have one profile where changed Dynamic CPU Voltage Offset and Processor Cache Voltage Offset both to -70mv, changed processor cache ratio to 36, and changed my core multipliers to 36/35/34/34.
Now, this looks all cool on paper and increases my cpu to 3.6ghz turbo, but when I ran XTU's stress test for 5 minutes, my temperature made it up to 93 degrees celsius. I know that's lower than it's max, but it's close! I also ran skyrim for about 30min with a ****LOAD of Alduins spawned to lag me out, and it got up to 86 degrees under CONSTANT stress, so that seems better.
I also fiddled with a setting that is all default, but just undervolted to -70mv to reduce temperature, ran the XTU stress test for 5 minutes again, and it scored a max temperature of 87 degrees celsius.
I know a lot of people say OC'ing CPU's is very risky, and it could mess my CPU up, and that worries me because this laptop is my baby.
TL:DR, do you guys think I should just undervolt my CPU, or apply the higher speeds to it as well?
