Overclocking the 8600M GT on the F8SV-A1???

Okay I plan on overclocking he 8600M GT gpu from core 475 to about 525... can I do this overclock and keep it at this value permantly without having to worry about it?

If not, what kind of overclock would you do on your 8600M GT inorder to not worry about it being permanant?

Also, how would I go adjusting the memory speeds on the 8600M GT?? cuz I have noticed that on the high OCs on this card, the memory speed actually had to be underclocked a lil.

Well, I am not concerned about power usage because I have a power outlet handy 100% of the time. And is there a way to lock the CPU multiplier at 11X? or disabling Intel SpeedStep? which would grant the same results.

Thanks for your time guys

 

every card is different. u will have to try it and check what are the most stable clocks

 

lol..locking the CPU multiplier isnt a good thing to do..and about OC-ing ur GPU first download the OC-able drivers from http://www.laptopvideo2go.com and than download RivaTuner (recommanded) or nTune and done ur GPU is OC-able. Hey hey im not responsible if ur GPU blows up.

 

You can use Power4Gear to set the performance profile at the highest setting (I forget what this is called - SuperPerformance I think), which will run the cpu at full speed all the time. This will accomplish 3 things, however -- turn your F8 into a furnace you could use to heat a small room in winter with the very hot air the fan is going to be spewing out constantly, potentially reduce the life of the cpu (they really aren't designed to be used at full load for hundreds of hours of time), and gum up your fan with all the gunk that's going to get sucked into the chassis because it's running at constant high speed too.

The delay in Speedstep that Intel chips use to manage clock speeds is measured in milliseconds or less - the only place you'd be likely to notice a difference in performance is (possibly) benchmarks, in real life you really wouldn't be likely to discern the difference.

 

I don't think it will be of that extremity. First of all Intel has always stipulated that processors rated at clock rate and at stock voltage would last about 20 years. I don't see it being a problem of it reducing it's life, even if there is it would be very minimal.

As long as you keep your system clean from dust, monthly heatsink/fan maintenance, and have additional cooling like a cooling pad. I don't see this as being a problem running full speed, it's up to the owner's preference. Besides, a cpu only gets really hot if it's running at full load, on idle it'll be warmer but nothing too exaggerated and it would be cooler than running an intensive game.
