    Greetings,

    I plan to post my overclocking results here. Ive disassembled my laptop today (ordered dec 2019), and I will post the pictures tomorrow showing improved thermal paste application and thermal pads as well.

    I replaced the stock paste with Gelid Extreme hopping that my Temp would reduce or controlled.

    Im currently running at 5.0 Ghz on all cores @- 0.95V , if I go -1mv , pc would crash at 5ghz.

    Sadly after heavy stressing, it throttles back to 4.9x Ghz @ -0.95V.

    As for the GPU, I havent done any thing crazy, just + 200 mhz and it runs without a problem @ 1.0V I havent done and undervolting for it as of yet.

    Is this a good silicon or a rubbish one? would love to get user experience on overclocking in term of values.

    Thanks all
