Overclocking the GT 525M card.:-)

Well there are the 555M and 540M topics but not for the 525M so here it is.

Post your max stable overclocks/scores/etcetera...

Mine is stable at 780/1560/1000.

 

a month I managed to get mine stable at 740/1480/950

but since I decided someday to update gpu drivers to 276.50 beta and the bios to the latest version (A06) it became totally unstable and I had to lower it to 691/1382/930 so the stupids hangs and freezes on games dont happen anymore.

I noticed the freeze and buzzing sounds is happening to a lot of people, and I think most of them didnt even tried to OC.

the funny thing is that I tested the old OC with apps like OCCT the whole night it dont detect errors (it even got way more hot than while gamming, but didnt found any errors) and when I try the old overclock with games, after some minutes the crash is here :/

what BIOS version do you have? and gpu drivers?

I tried almost everything and I'm unable to get back my old OC working on games, just a "light" OC :/

 

I have the latest BIOS & nVidia drivers as of now.

 

ok, I tried downgrading bios and drivers to all versions and still no luck, then updated everything again to latest version and still no luck, also no overheating,I think my nvidia chip dont like high clocks anymore :/

685/1370/930 atm, no more crashes unless I try my old OC

well, at least I turned my 525m into a 540m like chip with the current clocks (previus OC was like the 550m clocks )

atm the highest 525m OC I saw is from this guy

he is doing 835/1670/1080

 

Do u think ur GPU could have deteriorated amigo?

No bueno

 

yeah, I would vote for that or that some bios update updated the nvidia video bios to a "less overclock tolerant version".

however whatever it is ,seems I'm screwed

PS: loving your spanish

where are u from?

 

Inglaterra mi amigo ) jajajaja

 

glad to know my friend

 

I've not had too much good luck with overclocking the memory... if it goes over 950, i seem to run into game problems...
However, i've overclocked the base gpu clock to 700 with the memory at stock and it works very good, stable with no issues...

I recommend overclocking the gpu first and see if u notice a difference...
Not sure of how much a performance increase there is with overclocking the memory...
If anyone has before/after benchmarks with memory overclocks, that would be interesting...

 

Mine is stable at the same frequency as the O.P.

 

O.P. ?

 

O.P. = Original Poster, in this case O.P is smsmasters

 

Oh, I see, thank you

 

De nada

 

Does anyone know of a way to force the fan to run at 100%? I'm not too comfortable with 90 degrees...

 

I'm not positive since I don't use it but I think SpeedFan will do that for you.

Added:
After reading about others experience with SpeedFan and Dell laptops, it doesn't sound like SpeedFan works with Dell.

 

SpeedFan doesn't work and i8kfan won't install due to an unsigned driver... This is unfortunate...

 

Stable at 700/930
What FPS are you getting in Crysis 2 Guys?
Please post your settings here

 

Mine is stable at 780/1560/1000.... Haven't tried anything higher, I've got a feeling I could squeeze some more out of it....

 

Hello peoples, I'm new to the l502x, I wanted to know which software I can measure the temperature of the cpu and gpu in real time?

I've been playing and noticed that the air goes hot enough, should I worry or is ready for that?

Sorry for my English

thanks

PD: I have i7 2630qm and 525m.

 

hi Ramonero, I recomend give a try to MSI afterburner, this should be enough to monitorize temperatures/ussage and overclock the GPU, about the CPU, you can use the windows task manager to monitorize the ussage, about the cpu temps, you can use everest or any other software wich monitorize the temperature sensors.



nice overclock irishconvict , sadly, for some reason my GPU stoped enjoing overclock after A bios update, did rollback to the previus BIOS version , but had no luck

685/1370/930 At the moment

the curius thing is I tested burning the GPU with higher clock values like 720 clock Running OCCT tests the whole night and no artifacts or nothing, however when I try play in a game everything higher than my current clock crash the machine, running latest nvidia drivers atm.

 

Running mine stable @ 740/1480/900

 

Mine runs stable at gt550m speeds

 

Veo que eres de españa, yo soy de argentina

Me bajé el MSI afterburner y es muy bueno, justo lo que necesitaba. Jugando al Modern warfare 3 sin OC me corre a 60fps casi en todo momento. La GPU subió a 77° como maximo, es lo normal? es que como es muy nueva me da un poco de miedo cuando noto que calienta tanto, digamos que esta preparada para esto?

 

si, 77 grados en la grafica seria lo normal,en las pruebas de estabilidad del overclock que hacia dejandolo funcionando al 100% toda la noche tanto CPU como GPU, me llegaba a los 90 grados , y eso que lo abri y le cambie la pasta termica y le quite un filtro para que fluyera mejor el aire , la verdad es que este portatil se calienta mucho. de todas formas si te quedas mas tranquilo puedes comprarte una base refrigeradora para portatiles que venden, que es mas que una superficie metalica con un ventilador que la enfria, asi el portatil tambien queda un poco elevado y es mas comodo trabajar con el.

 

Si, la tengo con una base cooler master infinite, que está muy bien. Por debajo al menos se mantiene fria. Realmente es bastante calentona pero esta totalmente justificada, es una bestia de notebook. Pasé de una HP DV7 con core 2 duo 2.0GHz al I7 2630qm y no pense que realmente iva a ser tanta la diferencia en velocidad, no hay color. Estoy muy contento con la compra

Si quieres te paso mi MSN por PM asi hablamos mejor.

Saludos

 

vaya, ya decia yo que por algo se te calentaba tan poco ^^, yo es que no tengo base refrigeradora, lo tengo un poco elevado de la mesa con 4 topes pero solo eso.

si, lo suyo seria dejar de hablar por otro lado, al menos en español, ya que en el foro se suele hablar en ingles y son ganas de que nos den un aviso ^_^

 

No encuentro la opcion de mandarte MP xD

Si puedes mandamelo tu.

 

te he intentado mandar un MP pero tienes desactivada la recepcion de MPs en tu perfil del foro, tienes que entrar en tu perfil del foro y activar la funcion de recibir Mp de otros miembros.

 

Lo tengo activado, que raro :S

 

Don't overclock the memory. That's what makes it unstable

 

mine is stable at 803/1604/900 can play skyrim wif all my settings at max with the shadows turned off just

 

thx, I will try leaving the memory settings to default (900, I think)

I had it to 925 right now, but it might help to raise higher core clocks with default clocks.
I think core OC seems to be almost the only noticiable change in FPS since the GPU core is the one who render each frame.

 

I read about one guy disabling turbo in bios since skyrim was only like using 25% of his cpu anyways. I play Rift with throttlestop keeping the clock at 1.2 and I can play at 1080p fine, otherwise when I went into the city the CPU would go nuts and the fan would haul . Its funny, city seems fine at 1.2Ghz, just some things draw slower sometimes.

This thread is making me want to try to overclock my 525m again with the lower cpu clock.

 

I have 800/1600/900 at 0.86V thanks to djjonastybe's mod for Dell N5110. Very stable and good temps. Max 76C. I also changed the thermal paste to a better one.

 

Any mod for the Dell L502X? same graphics card.... but different BIOS obviosuly....

 

Alright got a question here, I overclocked my card to different settings and here are the results while running 3dmark11 with no freezes or black screen etc;
1. 740/1480/975, max temp 77, score 1183
2. 780/1560/1020 max temp 83, score 1253

I'm having bf3 come in, in a day or two so I'll really test the clocks then, not sure if 3dmark11 gives the same result. Which should I run on? 1 or 2? Is it true that temp should not exceed 90? I have a 2520m, 525m 1gb, and 4gb ram.

 

Choose stable one, which overclocking tool you are using.

 

MSI Afterburner

 

Good enjoy over clock king. And don't worry about temperature your system is under warranty for 3yr. Please share your clock result with B3.

 

hi just letting yous all know that nvidia released new beta drivers for our 525m cards today version 290.53 get downloading folks

 

I'm waiting to see what are the improvement. Please report it.

 

hi, i recently bought dell n5110 ... i overclocked gt525m with msi afterburner (max allowed 780mhz) but as i can see here there is people who can apply over 800 mhz frequencies ... with which program can i overclock over 800mhz? ... i play battlefield 3 (medium-high graphics) with overlocked (740mhz core, 930 mhz memory) with max ~74'c degree without errors ...

 

and by the way from where can i found latest gt525m bios ((currently it looks like its bios -->> 70.08.56.00.0A -from nvidia control panel)) .. and about overclocking, nvidia system tools is not working with gt525m is that normal? (driver version290.53)

 

hey,how is the n5110 display?

 

Its okay. Compared the the XPS HD display: It's horrible.

 

it is ok i guess... 1366x768 res is enough to watch 720p HD videos and also games works good ... ((battlefield 3 --min 20-30 fps at native resolution with mid-high graphics )) ((gt525m core clock 740mhz --memory clock 920 mhz ))

 

Thnx for reply guys! I hav sony flat tv,i use n8 tv out cable in its audiojack to view videos on my tv.Is 15r tv out capable??????As i dont plan to buy a hdtv in near future.

 

Yeah, you can connect the 15R as long as you have a VGA cable.

 

im running my 525m in 15z laptop so not such a good cooling as in your l502x but still able to oc the core to 700mhz, so higher than 540m stock speed.
1114 3dmark11 score with 700/900 clocks
4655 3dmark vantage 740/900 clocks
even overclocked got very low temperatures, usually 65c on graphics card and i5 under 70c too which is amazing.
no overheating problems, thats why i went with i5 and not i7 processor.
