Sheena Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Overclocking an ivy bridge CPU on a laptop would probably be the worst decision of your life, I'd start with buying a better laptop stand with a few 120mm fans 09 Civic EX KDC-X395 (2) SKAR Audio VVX-12 Skar Audio SK-1500.1 4 cu ft @32 (new box and more port soon) Firing Forward not sealed off Stock 80 Amp Alt Big 3 In 1/0 Knu 2 Runs To The Back 1 Pos 1 Neg In 1/0 Knu DD-1'd 13.8v drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20Vturbo Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 Being somewhat of an IT guy my guess would be that the Laptop is not really quite made for this level of gaming, plus OC'ing it will of course cause the heat to rise because your asking the CPU and GPU to work harder then its ment for, especially for a demanding game like BF3, It is a fine Graphics card for sure but i think in this case its being pushed a little too hard, my advice is dial it back a bit and buy a system more suited to todays level of games, just my 2 cents, the choice is yours though ________________________________ My current baby: '00 Lexus IS200, Preparing my sound at the moment... mods to come...

Raptorman Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 A laptop from 2000 can play BF3 and not overheat. The game would push everything to 100%. But the machines are stress-tested before they're shipped out by running at 100%, so it doesn't matter what laptop it is. Overclocking laptops is just a no-no. 1996 GMC Sonoma Four Fi BTL Neo 18's In 2:1 6th Order Bandpass 2 Ampere 5k's @ .5 TEAM FI TEAM #LITHIUMCANTDEMO On 10/20/2013 at 0:37 AM, KillaCam said: Fucking with a Prius driver is like making fun of a disabled kid.

iceman1575 Posted December 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I'm not really trying to OC it, it's all factory-default overclock settings, how the computer was designed... I am completely anti laptop for gaming to be honest. I just dont feel its possible to get the cooling you need out of one. I'd love to have a desktop, but unfortunately I need a laptop for portability... POTATO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n8ball2013 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 I just picked up an i5 8GB RAM desktop for 400 bucks. throw in a video card and it would be a respectable gaming rig. There is just too much heat generated from gaming to stuff in a laptop for my taste. Have you looked into one of those cooler pads?

There is just too much heat generated from gaming to stuff in a laptop for my taste. Have you looked into one of those cooler pads? Yeah, I'm going to pick one up tonight. I did finally find out why my FPS keeps dropping...I went to window mode and monitored CPU-Z...usually the computer either sits at 2.8GHz or 3.0GHz (without turbo boost, just sitting around), and in the middle of a game, the core clock will immediately drop to 800MHz for a few seconds...this is really starting to bug me...I can't figure out how to disable it either...

n8ball2013 Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 thats really your only option. and still have it be a laptop. You can tear it apart and rig shit up or stick more fans on and move more air. It sucks but you gotta work with what you got.

As for my constant FPS drop issue, it looks like I can install an unlocked BIOS and disable the Speedstep feature...just don't want to risk bricking my laptop... POTATO!

bdog Posted December 21, 2012 Report Share Posted December 21, 2012 my guess is the over clocking software . try turning it off as i bet it only nets you a couple fps anyways REP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
