Procreativefr3fouDave_#10 custom timings
Easiest way for me has been using nvidia's drivers
You can always just use CRU and use CVT reduced timings and go from there
I oc'd my laptop's panel to 105Hz from 60Hz stable
Can't seem to see monitor settings in my nvidia panel :/
Laptop is Lenovo z580
The Lenovo z580 uses Intel HD Graphics 4k with which the only supported refresh rates would be avaiable under you Intel HD Graphics Control Panel. It seems very unlikely that it will support anything over 60hz on the laptops monitor or anything over 75hz on an external. I played on a laptop for a long time and I consistently had bad tearing. This happened terribly when I wasn't hitting my refresh rate but also moderately otherwise. I feel like the tearing is just the cost of an iGPU. That being said closing accessory programs and just getting better fps in general can help quite a bit.

Yes but when you set a custom refresh rate in cru, you apply it via windows, not the drive. So, whatever driver you have shouldn't make a difference. It's just slightly more complicated using cru than nvidia's custom resolution stuff in their drivers. I did that on an amd 7950 and it worked just fine.

Hard to believe. You may have to enable advanced settings or whatever. If not you can just use CRU.

Overclock cpu for better frames.
i have no idea how to overclock and from what i've heard it's not a good idea

If you have a 3770k you paid more money than if you were buying a regular 3770 with literally the only difference being the ability to overclock it. If it wasn't a good idea they wouldn't make products whose only reason for existing is to be overclocked. Overclocking makes a cpu produce more heat and use more power but if you do it right, you'd never notice the decreased lifespan because you'd have upgraded long before it ever got to the point where the CPU couldn't handle the overclock stably.
Fair enough. If I was honest I'm a complete fucking retard when it comes to computers and such so I've got absolutely no idea what certain things do such as overclocking. It was my poor assumption based off what one of my mates was saying one time, my mistake. Even if I was to attempt it, I wouldn't trust myself because I'm no good with stuff like this.

just look up OC's online and go for something modest. I put my brother's i5-3570k at 4.2GHz and it was easily stable with very low vcore. Just don't go for something huge. Something like 3.4GHz to 4GHz should be okay but ymmv depending on your cooler etc.

SetsulWell no voltage changes isn't that impressive. Turbo isn't as agressive on the 3630QM as on some other CPUs but it's still 8/8/9/10. So with linx on all cores you only get 107.66MHz * 32 (24+8) = 3445.12MHz, not much of an increase compared to 100.00MHz * 34 (24+10) = 3400.00MHz max single core turbo. Is it actually stable on 107.66MHz * 34 = 3660.44MHz? Is it fixed voltage or maybe it increased to voltage automatically to compensate? There might also be power throttling even if there's no thermal throttling.

I'd be suprised if you were able to control PCIe seperately since it should be the same die. Not the first time I've seen a modded BIOS display options that weren't actually available. I mean I've seen settings for components that weren't even on that specific mobo.

Yes on Nehalem etc BCLK and PCIe were still independent, kind of a given with a BCLK of 133MHz and PCIe at 100MHz.

I haven't tested it at 3660.44MHz since I have the multiplier locked at 32x. Also as far as power throttling goes, I haven't seen any. Plus I've added in options in my bios to adjust the TDP for the cpu. I just saw no point in having turbo enabled at those speeds, but that's something I may test out at some point.

There were some multiplier shenanigans as well. Either way they weren't locked.

On Sandy and Ivy Bridge a lot including PCIe is tied to the BCLK. 7% is about the max you'll get, beyond that, if not earlier it will just crash and burn. Haswell likes it even less. There's also no need to since you get straps on the K models.

I really doubt you got anything above 105MHz stable on Ivy Bridge and even if:
-Haswell is worse
-the difference between "shit fps" and good fps is definitely more than 5%.

Damn, did not know that. I have the bclk stable on 20 runs of linx @ ~107.66MHz with no voltage changes on the 3630qm.

iirc, wasn't the pcie etc separate on the first gen i7 chips? That is strange since that at least on my 3630qm, with the intel me libraries, the pcie was actually controlled by separate clocks.

If you're getting shit fps with an i7-4790 something else is wrong.

#18
Intel didn't lock them before Sandy Bridge?

Try overclocking the BCLK on Haswell, I dare you. Not only won't it be stable it also fucks up PCIe so the GPU won't work either.

Before the sandybridge, the unlocked chips were the extreme edition chips--those were ~1k/chip and weren't very affordable, so most people who would want to do a modest OC (someone looking for more frames), would just buy a non-extreme edition chip and just bump up the fsb speed. Maybe they'd have to buy better ram, but it was still more affordable than dropping $1k on a cpu. With the new unlocked chips, they're not $1k anymore; they're more like $300-350, which is way more affordable and all you have to do is change the multiplier (and voltage I guess but at a low-level, it's very easy and a lot cheaper than an extreme edition chip).

Now I don't own a haswell chip, but I can't imagine that you'll fuck everything up with say a 5MHz increase or something. If that's not the case, please explain because the last chip I worked with was the ivy bridge.

#9 Where to buy splitter cable? in Hardware
OsirisdollarlayerI would check to see if your computer even supports a mic/headphones in a single jack. I've not seen a computer with just a single jack before, but maybe that's something new they are doing?. All the laptops I've seen have 2-3 jacks.Combo jacks are getting more and more common on laptops due to Applerexia nervosa. Just look at a lot of the ultrabooks by Asus, Lenovo, Toshiba or Dell. Apple has even patented a 3.5mm jack which has the top cut off(so it's sort of a D-shape) to ensure the audio jack isn't going to be limiting the thinness of their mobile devices any time soon.

@OP These same splitters also exist in a USB form, where you just plug a little block into a USB port and it then has headphone and microphone 3.5 female ports.

if it's USB, that's a DAC, not a splitter

so am i boned because i can't oc and am i forever stuck with shit fps (i7 4790 not-k)

no

I have a laptop and I managed to oc the locked CPU using a modded BIOS I made. You can just change your bclk speed. How do you think ppl oc'd before the i7-2xxx chips?
