Hi All!
Well in the next few days I'll be the new owner of a MSI GT72 Dominator Pro 208 gaming laptop(I'm just waiting for it to ship). I've been combing through the various forums and am still confused about a few things concerning overclocking the CPU and/or the GPU. I admit it's been a long time since I've dealt with the ideas of overclocking. I know that the basic idea of overclocking is still the same today as they were back then of increasing clock speeds and/or the multiplier in increments until the system becomes unstable and then backing them back down to a point to where it is stable again. My questions are as follows:
1) What do I need to achieve the overclocking of my cpu/gpu as far as software goes?
2) What steps do I need to take to achieve this?
The specs of my laptop are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i7 4710/4720 Quad core processor(not sure which one will be in the machine I've read differing accounts to where they were now shipping with the 20 instead of the 10.
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX980m 8GB GDDR5
RAM: 32GB DDR3 1600L
SSD:4X128GB M.2 SATA III in RAID 0(512GB Capacity)
HDD: 1TB 7200RPM
ODD: Blu-ray Burner
Display: 1920x1080p LCD 17.3" either TN or IPS Panel(depends on the CPU it ships with)
Any and all assistance you all can offer me will be greatly appreciated!
