If you still haven't read this post before - I can tell you in brief that: Each CPU will have a specification about its heat that will be radiated from CPU when it is working called TDP. Althoguh, we could make it run at FASTER clock speed regardless.Īs for our LEVEL51 Laptops that use Desktop CPUs, namely NXL or XL17, if you are using CPU that ends with K - you will be able to adjust both. We will only be able to fine-tune the Thermals but not Clock Speed. The LEVEL51 series NX, SX, is powered by the i7-8750H CPU, which is a non-overclockable CPU. These two are inevitably related because as the speed increases, the CPU will radiate more heat What are we going to adjust for Overclocking?įor overclocking Intel CPUs, there are two related settings: Thermal and Clock Speed. I have tried to reach 4.0GHz but that took 1.45V which is super scary for modern CPU. However, there is not much to talk about in Ryzen Master (at the time of writing) - just clock and voltage and that's it. I have adjusted it to 3.9GHz with 1.35V voltage because if using at 3.5GHz default clock it felt really slow.

Also, you should read about why your CPU does not always run at Maximum Boost Clock, to get the base knowledge of what we are trying to do with overclockingįor AMD fans who use Ryzen, I have been using Ryzen 7 1700x on my desktop PC as well, the program to use is call Ryzen Master. Intel's program used for overclocking is called Intel XTU, (which you can d ownload it from here. This post was written for LEVEL51 Laptop with 8th Gen Desktop CPU (Yes our Laptop USE DESKTOP CPU in some models) but the same principle still applies for all modern Intel Desktop/Laptop CPUsĪs someone who has been using computer since 1990s and have tried almost everything from AMD and Intel (Cyrix included! but I doubted not many people would know about this CPU! - I can say that Intel offer more finely tuned overclock experience and there is a lot that can be adjusted.
