how do I overclock intel hd 4600

I have just bought a brand new Hp pavilion laptop with an i3 4000m processor and an intel hd 4600.

It is apparently underclocked to 1100 core clock, I was wondering how I clock this back to the stock 1350. I have tried the intel extreme tweaking utility but It only shows voltage and nothing about clocks.

Also, the bios is insideh20 and does not have any advanced options that I can see available.

Any help is much appreciated!

thank you!
 
It's clocked at what it's supposed to be clocked at. I wouldn't bother with it honestly, not that I think you even could since it's an HP.

its not clocked properly though. Its clocked down to 1100 mhz which makes it equal to a 4400, i just want it to be clocked properly to 1350.
 
Errr...

i3-4000M
Graphics Base Frequency 400 MHz
Graphics Max Dynamic Frequency 1.1 GHz

Well holy crap, I am an idiot lol - thank you for this. it appears the 4600 is a down clocked version with the 4000m.

When looking at notebook check it says the 4600 is supposed to be 1350, which must be for other processors. - is there anyway to make this change to this version of it to get it to the 1350?
 
You can't overclock it.

However, if you want to improve the performance of the onboard graphics, allocate the maximum allowed RAM to the iGPU: 1.7GB. I believe you do that through Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. If not, you should be able to pick how much RAM is allocated in the BIOS.
 
I don`t know if that's possible with your standard, run of the mill Laptop Bios. Plus, if you were to successfully overclock that GPU, the heat generated would need to be observed (specifically GPU temps, which is really hard when most renown temp monitors skip GPU temps completely for the majority of laptops) and determined whether or not temps are maintainable by the stock cooling systems.

Besides getting the advertised frequency what are you exactly looking to accomplish with the overclock?

Just wanted it to be clocked at what I thought it was defaulted to. I thought it was an easy task as I know to do a dedicated card is just some small software package.

What puzzles me is most have advised this is not possible, yet if you google search overclocking intel hd 4600, there are people who have overclocked it, as well as the 4400, they just happen to leave out how they achieved it.
 
^see what I know with my desktop does not transfer over to a laptop. For instance the video card maker for my 770 included software to tweak and fine tune the settings. Intel provides nothing similar for direct access, and I don`t think any OEM does as well. So it`s up to threads from users like us to show us the way. But without any writeup of sorts its difficult but no impossible.

Definitely understand that. Below is the thread I found and the software used. The issue is I do not get the same set of options as he does for the GPU
