4940mx overclocking help!

Just installed my 4940mx into my AW18. Downloaded throttle stop and XTU, need some help on how to overclock to maybe 4GHz. If anyone can give me a step by step guide on what to do and what figures to change in XTU or throttle stop.

These are my Settings I used for 4GHz on my 4930MX, Make sure you set VR Faults and Efficiency Mode off under the other tab. If you want to go higher than 4GHz @Mr. Fox has a Guide for the 4930MX (basically a 4940MX) to go to 4.3GHz, which you can check out here - http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...ly-have-it-run-full-stock-turbo-speed.734696/ However I recommend tweaking it a tad bit by raising the Core and Current limit to 256A

 

Hi pal thankyou for a quick reply. I have changed the settings like your picture shows. Before you sent me this I’ve gone into bios and put ovc lvl 2 on. Do I need to turn this off now?

I Don't think so the bios should auto configure to XTU set config. mine says OVC LVL1 at 4.6GHz lol, so no I don't think it effects anything

 

Ok how do I get to keep these settings so I don’t have to configure each time I boot up?

no they will auto apply... just apply the settings in XTU, and IF you want save them to a profile and then restart load up CPU-Z you should see 4GHz active and you will then know it is loading up automatically.

 

When I restart core current limit drops down to 75.00

go to bios turn off OVC LVL setting go back into XTU set the config for 4GHz again then restart, and see if you get the same issue

 

Ok I’ll try it and let you know tomorrow.

Ok so still no joy, disabled OVC 1 in bios. Max non turbo boost ratio can’t be saved as I get a pop up message just before XTU opens as well as processor current limit drops again from 256.00 A back to default.

Interesting... Since your only at 4GHz you prob won't need the boost of extra power anyway so I don't think it's going to be an issue

Getting power limit throttling now when I do a Stress test, down clocks to 3.8 GHz

At 1.2V?! That's extremely odd... One solution is dropping the iGPU to 6.0x and - 0.050V or 4.0x and - 0.100V what if u set the power limit back to 256A without the restart.. Does it power throttle?

Here is my Score at 4Ghz... completes benchmark just fine, I have also added the XTU profile below, see if that helps.

Yes even though I set it again after restart it still power throttles.

Without the restart does it throttle? I also sent u my XTU Profile so u can easily apply the settings and see if that works

Not tried yet pal. Got drunk yesterday instead lol. Going to give it a shot tonight, will keep you updated.

Still no joy. Applied the settings you gave me and power limit throttling = Yes and down clocks to 3.09

Are u running the unlocked A12 bios?

Nope

This is what happens when I follow the post on forums for updating bios with the unlocked one.

My bad I put the whole file in c/ instead of extracting contents. Done now I think? How can I tell if I’m on the unlocked bios?

More menus I'm the bios

Looks like I soft bricked the laptop, ended up doing the 2 beep ram removal which let me go back into windows but as a new install, so used system repair disc. Now it loads up but keeps taking me to this page?

When using a new bios it configures to RAID more for some reason easy fix just go into bios and Set AHCI instead of RAID
