Dell 525m cards - speeds and temps

Hey guys, Im trying to gather up data about the 525m cards headroom and temps. (samsung forum isnt much for gaming D= )

How much can you overclock your 525m and what temperatures are they at? MSI Afterburner is limiting my 525m to 617 core I believe and 1237 shader; havent messed with the memory clock yet.

All of that when under intensive gaming gets max 80 C.

Are you guys able to clock higher all while keeping it stable and what are your temps if you do?

Much appreciated, thanks.

 

Without overclocking I've seen my 525 hit 95C during gaming sessions @_@

 

holy hell >_> seriously? I thought xps 15's had good cooling (chassis seems thicker than my rc512 so I thought more headroom for cooling)

Thats really bad dude ._. see if your fans are clogged or anything.

Stock speeds = max 80
but I cant seem to overclock it more than 17 Mhz on core and shader; I dont wanna mess with memory speeds until I know more about it

edit: nvm saw you had 15z, that thing is really thin!

 

I don't see it as bad. I don't take a hit on performance and I'm never sure how long it stays at that temp, but the laptop is never uncomfortable to use which is good, it's a treadeoff for thinness.

 

I run it at 780/980 and I just have a fan behind the laptop. Gets up to 85C.

 

Trying to figure out how to push my card to those speeds

(except memory, idk why but overclocking the memory truly scares me. Fear of the unknown I guess)

 

Just go incrementally and play a game for a while and if its stable, push harder.

whoa whoops, didnt mean to create this if that was there ._.

I still cant figure out how to push my core and shader further, maybe its voltage locked?

my memory slider goes up to 1080mhz (havent tried it yet)

 

I use Afterburner to push it to 700/1000, no stability problems here. YMMV... It's not a great card though. I mainly do Photoshop work and PS2 emulation and there are a couple games the card can only run at native res (512x512) if I want good fps. If you're a gamer you want at least a 555, but preferably 460 or 560

 

I have an inspiron n5110 (i5 2430m 6go geforce 525m), I had some heating problems before I began overclocking my gpu, witch I fixed by disabling the cpu turbo boost. msi afterburner doesn't permit me to change the shaders clock (I don't know why frankly) but I managed to get to 680/920 the core/memory clocks (equivalent of the geforce 540m), and the gpu temperature rises to 90/95 degrees Celsius after 30 to 40 minutes of gaming, I sometimes stop playing in order to let my laptop cool down (well the dell system have a ty cooling system) didn't want to go further thought, I feared damaging the gpu memory.

 

I've got mine running at 735mhz, temps are fine (under 90) even after marathon gaming sessions. I prop the back of the laptop up with a thin paperback to get a little extra airflow. Like the dude above me, I can't figure out how to change the shader clock using MSI Afterburner. I think I remember reading that they're linked, so when I OC the core am I also OC'ing the shaders? Some info here would be great.
