I’ve got a GL503VD rog laptop with an i7-7700HQ, which is non-overclockable. Yes, I know HQs can’t be overclocked.I want to force the boost that the system allows to be always on at it’s max freccuency.
It has a 1x core boost up to 3.8 MHz, 2x core boost up to 3.6 MHz and for 4x core boost it’s got 3.4 MHZ. I’ve already got it locked at 3.4 MHz on Throttlestop, since that’s the max valie for all 4 cores, even if I make it go higher it won’t do it. Everywhere I’ve read that it is not possible to overclock it since it’s locked.
My issue is that when I’m looking at my data on HWMonitor after gaming, it shows that the max reached freccuency of all 4 cores is at around 3.79-3.8 MHz, which means that for a moment all 4 clocks reached the max freccuency allowed for a single clock.
Is it possible to modify anything in anyway to force the 3.8 MHz on all 4 cores at all times?
Thermals are not an issue, I have modified the laptop. Here: https://imgur.com/gallery/uBOivqT
I think it rather maybe uses like 2-3 cores and switches between them, so the clock sometimes bumps higher, I have it the same with my 12400f some games dont use as much cpu so some cores boost higher, for example my all core boost is 4ghz but single core is 4.4 and during gaming i sometimes see values such as 4190 and such so that means not all cores are utilized to the max. You can download msi afterburner and set it up so it shows ingame fps utilization and temperatures that would be your best bet.
