    I already had a 4940mx official edition with liquid-cooling.And I can oc it to 4.3ghz stably.(+25mv)
    What i can do for oc my cpu more?I don't know how much the XTU safe current is. Because i always encounter current throttle if i oc more.I'm afraid my computer is damaged.
    Why 4930mx is a better choice when overclocking is used?And qs edition or official?
    I appreciate your reply.

    It all depends on multiple factors, the 4940mx/4930MX is quite a power hungry beast and most notebooks lack the power to feed the 4940MX properly. For instance the 4940MX would trip the VRM's of my old P157SM after 4.4ghz OC.

    The biggest issue you're facing now is not getting it higher than 4.3ghz, but let it run at 4.3ghz at full speed. If you do a cinebench run, you will notice that your score is lower than it should be.

    4930MX can generally overclock higher, unless you get a 4940MX sample CPU(QS edition)

    Try to run cinebench and see how you score and how your clockspeeds are.
