Hi!
I have an Asus G2S laptop with intel core2duo T7500 and a 8600MGT with 256mb DDR3 and I can not overclock at all! I have found repeatedly that people overclock their 8600MGT in 8700MGT without problem but I can not overclock, Does someone have a solution ?
PS: All those who will tell me that we should not Overclock a laptop let me tell you my friend spent his 8700MGT a 8600GTS without problem.
Hey did you tried any overclocking software ? why don't you use nTune, Nvidia system tools, and atitools RivaTuner and see the results. also start 3D mark test. also make sure that this model of pc is overclockable in the graphics card. If so, and bios is also Updated.
Don't try to overclock a laptop is not for that, you may have bad surprises. if you could fix a PC, you may be able to overclock without the risk but it is a portable cooling in a laptop is not all that. if your friend passes it 8700MGT a 8600GTS it is that flash the bios on the graphics card by giving it another name but there is nothing more.
Here's how you can overclock your 8600 GT .
overclocking an 8600m GT
Requirements
- Latest nVidia drivers
- ATiTool 0.26/RivaTuner 2.06
Install ATiTool and run it. The last 2 sliders(Core and memory for 3D performance sliders) are what's required. Start increasing the Core speed slider, by 5MHz at time, and click on Set Clock button. Once this is done, click on scan artifacts. If the cube is rendered perfectly, then repeat the process. At a certain clock, you will start to see artifacts. Even at the slightest hints of artifacts, reduce the speed by about 10MHz, and Click on Scan for artifacts. Once you've reached a sweet spot, Click on scan artifacts again, and let it run for a longer time. Or just play your favorite game, for an hour or so. Any signs of instability, or artifacts, or extremely high temperatures, higher than about 66-68 deg , reduce the speeds immediately! Now repeat the same steps for the Memory clocks. Once you've finalized on the speeds, Click on New, give a suitable name and save the profile. Next time you want to play a game, just load AtiTool, and load the desired profile! Hope this helps!
