Hello Everyone. I am currently overclocking my computer for a school project (my senior project is building and overclocking a computer).
I currently am focusing on overclocking the iGPU but can only get up to 1013MHz with my Zalman LQ315. Thats less than 100MHz difference than when I overclocked the iGPU with the stock heatsink. My temps are only 40 C when I run FurMark or OCCT's GPU stress test, but when I go to 1094MHz, OCCT freezes up and a balloon comes up saying "the driver has stopped working, but has recovered" (or something along those lines). I tried increasing the the APU1.2V to get better stability, but I went up to 1.25V and that didn't help stability at all.
It might just be me, but it seems to me that I should be getting a lot higher OC on the iGPU. I was able to OC my CPU by 11% more with the LQ315 than with the stock heatsink. Currently, I'm only getting a 6% increase with my iGPU. Is there anything I'm missing or not understanding to get a higher OC?
Here are the specs of the computer:
Motherboard: FM2A85-M PRO
RAM: GSkill Sniper Series 2400MHz 2x4GB
PSU: Rosewill HIVE 750W Modular
Cooler: Zalman LQ315
Case: Corsair 200R
Here are the settings I currently have stable when focusing solely on the iGPU:
APU frequency: 105MHz
CPU multi: 39.0
Vcore: 1.275
Thanks for anyhelp you can give me!
PS. Yes, I know that my PSU is way overpowered for the system and the LQ315 is like putting a turbo on a Fiat 500.
