View Full Version : Intel graphics card overclocking

As many people asked me already about overclocking intels graphics i searched through some topics in net, and tried myself. After hours spent on trying I figured that there are two answers to question if we actually can overclock those stuff. So the questions are: yes, and no.

So let's start with "no" one:
No, because none of known to me tools is able to change intels core or ram speed. It looks, like either those are locked on some speed (which I'm pretty sure about swings up and down depending on what is needed by system) or they use some of the system clocks, that are put into chipset of motherbord, together with all other global clocks, which is sad, but actually leads us to "yes" answer.

"Yes" answer:
Concluding from previous, clocks in intel graphics depends on global system speed. If yes- then it's straight way to overclock it- just by overclocking whole system. I know it may sound bad, but I already read about overclocking just FSB, or other clockings, so few more minutes of search on net should give quite good resoults. Also no extra cooling must be added, as small changes, used just for hour or two just to play some game isn't a great issue, and heat isn't that bad.

I'll make some more research myself, and if anyone interested in this I can post the results here. And remember- intel doesn't make cards for gaming...but we still can actualy play, and even quite well, as for me.
If I'm wrong about something- tell me then.

heheh...maybe you could be right mooneyes, but you cannot put new the graphics card to your laptop; it's hard soldered and integrated to your mainboard. And that's a pitty anyway, becouse my platform supports PCI-E... :( it is possible only with notebooks that has it written- exchangable graphics card- those usually come with portable radeon x300 or higher, and are lots more expensive. I bought cheaper, i know, but still something can be done with this. I'll put small tutorial here, how to overclock whole system, together with those Intel integrated graphics. Just give me few hours. ;)

thanx sirius...i hope u can come up with the solution to get more juice from integrated GC...who knows i might need it someday

Hi there!
You wanted more juice; so here you got.
As i thought about clocking FSB- it is possible on most of new intel platforms/chipsets, and here is the guide. Only issue is that, in fact we need some small hardware maniuplation, which surely can disable your warrancy ;) so better be sure what you are doing.

I will just add- clocking up FSB doesnt only affesct your CPU. From my knowledge witch I gathered after some years of OC I'm sure it'll speed graphics too (that's becouse that bus is used to communicated between CPU and other parts- including whole northbridge and RAM). Keep in mind, that Intel graphics are highly integrated, so we will not only OC it's internall processor (which will try to match FSB), but also memmory (becouse those graphics uses system memmory- RAM !!!)

....soooo long talking, but better get it working:

try this superb trick, and remember- I take no responsibility, and you are doing this on your own risk (of even destroying your beloved notebook).

what I can say more- if you will be just carefull, and not using hammer for delicate works, it'll surely work.

cheers!

Hey people! Will anyone share his ideas and comments about my post? I'm interested if someone got it working, and happy of having notebook overclocked...

heheh, i don't dare to test it with my notebook. I normally only over clocking pc..

and that's only one step further with notebook computer ;) i even overclocked my pocket PC and mp3 player (beside normal PC ;) ), so that sounds easy...anyway my warranty...uhmm i think i'll stick to that for at last one year, and maybe then i'll try this trick ;)
trick itself looks quite safe; and -what's worse- the only one as for now...but you were interested- so here it is :)

pat19 you replied to this very old thread.

Overclocking can be done on CMOS. If you want to discuss this, created your own thread. You can also search for tips in overclocking.

FYI: Overclocking can damage your PC because it heats up very fast.
