kadaj Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Hello I have had my m14x r2 for 3 years now and I recently opened it and cleaned it and repasted the cpu and GPU. I really want to improve its performance byoverclocking the cpu and gpu.I am new to the forums and I have been seeing a lor of ways of doing this. But most of the post are old, What is recommended now? What do you guys recommend me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryjerry Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 From wut i am researching, if your bios is not unlocked, then your max oc limit for core clock speed is +135 MHz, and memory clock speed is 1000 MHz (you can use msi afterbunner or nvidia inspector to do the overclocking, usually try with 5-10 MHz increase everytime and do a stress test to ensure your gpu won't crush), i suggest u can raise your core clock speed to +135 and memory clock speed to +500 as a start, it is pertty stable for my case :]. However if you don't satisfy for the performance increase, you can always do a bios unlock and go over +135 MHz for maximum improvement, but just remember it will dramatically increase your gpu and cpu temp. Hope it will help you to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it will help you to start. I agree with this. I'm limited to +135 boost on core clock eventhough I have some room as my GPU doesn't go over 61 degrees fully loaded so I'm planning to flash a vbios to get some more performance out of it.

axlastro Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 What CPU do you have? If it's locked multiplier (3610QM) just forget it. I've overclocked mine via FSB to 106mhz, which resulted in close something like 3.5 GHZ but I also killed two A-data Msata SSD's in a row and I suspect it might have been the FSB overclock's fault. I got them replaced under warranty though. Just keep in mind, that na FSB overclock WILL overclock everything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunteraz Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 I'm also hoping to oc my m14x r2 but there's no point even doing the +135 boost without unlocking the bios because my computer goes to 67+ after 1 minute of gaming and throttling kicks in. So without being able to change the 67*C limit there's no point in overclocking because it wont do anything. Buying this computer couple years ago was such a huge mistake, will never buy another Dell/Alienware piece of **** again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerryjerry Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 For this case, u can use throttle stop, close your turbo mode at bios menu and open the throttle stop, it will rise your throttling limit to 91 c, hope it will help u Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
