How to increase the processor frequency on the ASUS laptop. How to speed up the processor on a laptop: detailed instructions and programs. How to overclock the laptop processor with the utility

HP laptops can be very slow, when you start multiple applications on them, especially in applications that use a lot of processor time. HP laptop will increase the load and speed of many large programs. In essence, overclocking is an increase in processor clock frequency at higher speeds. . For example, overclocking 1.8 GHz, could force the processor to work at higher speeds, for example 2.0 GHz.

Instructions

If you plan to overclock the laptop, you must receive good cooling. After the laptop turns off at a higher processor speed, this is because the processor becomes much hotter, and the motherboard is automatically disconnected to prevent damage.

It will work on each desktop PC and laptop. But some manufacturers of motherboards block multipliers, so that no one can change the clock frequency without some tricks.

All the following is the personal opinion of the author, and do not claim the truth in the last instance. The author is not responsible for damaging the equipment while trying to reproduce the modifications described in the article. This material may insult the feelings of believers and people with weak nerves, if you rank yourself to those, it is recommended to refrain from reading.

Preface. [Waning to see the technical part can safely skip]
I sit in one beautiful morning in the office at work, and here he writes to Skype Valera - help, they say, familiar to the most cheap game laptop pick up, and throw a link to the Zabigorny article with a short review different models. The game laptop meant not "2 kernels 3 giga", but a normal such fool weighing 3-4 kilos with a powerful percent, seey and normal cooling. Among the many laptops in the review, the familiar Valery was allocated some kind of 15 "Lenovo because of its price about 32t.r., which is very modest for its filling, namely GTX 660M 2 pieces in the slot (and one removable, was put instead of a drive) and What is the i5 3xxx series. Speaking through his stereotypes that Lenovo - Guano, who does not deserve my attention, I still found and looked at his review. When choosing such a laptop, first of all, it is necessary to look at the cooling system and then for everything else. Well, I looked. Closed the tab with the review, and wrote Valera in Skype that my stereotypes were confirmed, and that if needed cheaply and worked as conceived, then you need to either collect any Bugroon for the hill, or currasert towards MSI and may be ASUS. From the above-mentioned articles with the laptops, MSI was selected, an overview of the insides was found. After making sure that everything is fine in him, I sent Valera "Here, look, it should be no worse" and safely continued to engage in your affairs.

After half an hour, Valera writes to me in skype messagewhich erased my budget plan for the next couple of months. Namely thumps me a link to MSI GT70 GT70 0NC-494US, which includes I7-3630QM and GTX 670MX. And all this was good lying on Amazon for 900 bucks, which did not fit into my sore head. And the chip was that this laptop was sold without a box, and therefore cost at 750 bucks cheaper than in the box there is next. Those. absolutely new laptop, just without a box and almost twice cheaper. Greed has already defeated the mind, and I was going to run away Babos, as suddenly remembered that the laptop was looking for for Valerian friend. Finding saliva, sighed and continued to do his own business.

In the evening, Valera calls and says that his familiar changed his mind and ordered Asus in exactly the same configuration only the percent and seeing the next generation (the performance is the same) and how many hundred bucks are more expensive there that for me personally (let God for me to offend) Doubtantly the mental abilities of this person and at the same time deliberately. The joy lasted five seconds, while Valera said that the laptop for 900 bucks had already bought, and at the auction he stood literally a few hours. And then the story could end, but the will of the case Amazon threw another option - the same GT70 marked "refurbished" for 1050 American rubles, which is no longer so tasty, but, nevertheless, much cheaper than just new for 1650. Who is not aware that for refurbished such, they can google, everything is described there. Briefly this is a new or "as a new" product that was returned from the production attachment to eliminate the detected defect, and is then packaged back to the factory package. There is no difference with "new" except stickers on the box in fact, but it is impossible to sell it as a new Pindos law. I ordered in the end. It came after 3 weeks, 3,8500 wooden money came with delivery and insurance. In Rais, the same KONF costs 55-60.

I have already planned to change my old MSI for several months GX740. On something faster, a fourth, but everything somehow did not develop. And here is. I am not a fan of MSI products, just so coincided. In general, if we talk about the laptops of this company, then you buy a good iron in the wrapper from at least before it was. But the laptops eventually go relatively cheap. Because me appearance never really worried, and the functionality is yes, I'm a last laptop and bought MSI. For 3 years of active use (in a backpack every day to work and back) appeared defective pixels On the matrix on the side (apparently from the blow), a plastic decorative frame around the screen cracked (engineering miscalculation), stood spraying on the aluminum panel under the palms (savings, probably), and maybe something else on the little things. But all these three years, the laptop worked perfectly in constant acceleration and processor with memory and video card, not buggy, did not burn anything. Safely soldered, and now continues to work with the new owner.

Overview.
Standard reviews of this model with a bunch of pictures in Neta are enough and so, therefore, it will only be paid attention to the elements in my opinion of it deserving. The laptop arrived in a large cardboard box, in which there was another box wrapped in a giant pipple polyethylene (apparently the told of Russian Post reached Americans), colorful with the inscription MSI as it should be. Inside - laptop, adapter, disk with firewood, all sorts of beautiful papers, black cap with company logo and fastening plan for the Second Hard. The adapter is naturally with an American fork, but the 220V cord on the second end has a connector as a standard cable from a regular block. aTX power supply, not a small laptop pussy, as in the picture:

Therefore, the problems with the replacement did not occur. The adapter in size is slightly less than ordinary building bricks (this is not a joke). At the exit 19.5V 9.2a, which in simple recalculation can be perceived as 180vatt. For comparison on the GX740, I had 7a at the same voltage, and on the average laptop is usually 3-4a.
On the laptop all glossy surfaces, as it should be sealed. There are no scratches, American servicemen work as our fortunately.

I turn on, I hear a rather loud whistle some choke, which does not go anywhere after loading the OS. Disappears under load. Later I found a "solution" of this problem. In this laptop there is a backlit keyboard, but not simple, and all the colors of the rainbow. Yes, and broke into three sections - left, central and right. For each, you can set your own color and brightness of a special softy. You can even configure the "wave" and "breathing" when the backlight smoothly flickers. I noticed that when the backlight is drunk, the sound of the choke changes. So we all know that the LEDs of different colors eat the energies of a different amount. As a result, I picked up such a combination of colors and brightness of sections in which the choke is not heard. And ridiculous and sad at the same time. Probably in MSI decided to add significance to their fashionable illumination in this way: FacePalm: It is clear that most likely it is only my copy of this, but it's still unpleasant to find it on a laptop for 60 pieces. However, it may have been a defect due to which the laptop was "refurbished". What I have not yet understood in the MSI developer policy, so this is that the backlight is turned on only after loading OS, i.e. No software - no backlight.

The keyboard of medium repulsions is full of size. It is pressed normally, I like the buttons, in some places begged. Thanks to Gamers God, for finally removed the start button on the left side, no longer have to pick it up. Ctrl is also in place, and he, like SHIFT, is pretty big, not to miss in the midst of battle. Russian letters are not for obvious reasons. I didn't really strain me even at the time of writing this material, but if someone suddenly wants to bring himself such a laptop from Pendostan, you need to keep in mind that stickers do not work, because Russian letters will not be highlighted. Alternatively, only to go to the MSI representative office and order a clave initially for the Russian model, the price will be around 1500-2500r depending on the greed of the seller.

Sound. The sound is good, with a capital letter X. Beautiful inscription Dynaudio seems to hints that here "Super Pooper Hyonda" (who does not know, dynaudio a well-known manufacturer of expensive by the standards of acoustics man in the midster, but this is one of the few manufacturers who takes the quality of the components, and not for the name and varieties of body trees, Yes, I will forgive me audiophiles, amine). In fact, any columns for 1000r will survive according to the characteristics what is in this laptop, but you will not carry them with you, right? The sound is loud. If in the room to include music on full, then a near-sitting person will have to yell to reach you. What I really liked it, this is what the so-called "subwoofer" in the bottom creates pleasant vibrations of the case from sound effects in Game. Shoot from guns in someone and feel it with your hands.

A few words about the bios of this laptop. Not so long ago, a miracle of the UEFI standard broke into us. It was not very afraid of the details and differences from the usual bios, but it became clear that the UEFI bootloader and the usual bios are not compatible. Those. Or works UEFI, or we are in the Legacy mode, in which the loading with UEFI devices is not possible, and vice versa. Although it may be consight realization in this laptop. As a result, we have hard with the factory Windows in UEFI mode, and my SSD with Windows in Legacy mode. If you need to download the second Windows, you need to go to the BIOS and switch that it is not very convenient, so I simply rearranged myself Windows on CZD in UEFI mode. The same applies to loading with not UEFI flash drives.

On this tricks do not end. At the time of writing an article from three programs over-tripped programs for the redistribution of sections under Windows without losing information, on Hard C UEFI sections Earned zero. More precisely, 0.5, the first section gave me to reduce Windows by controlling discs, and the second I have already increased with third-party software.

Speaking about the eighth Windows and UEFI, I want to celebrate a tricky technology quickly launch Systems. If the system installed in the UEFI mode is turned off the "shutdown", then the inclusion occurs literally in 5 seconds. Those. I pressed the button, passed seconds 5 and you already have a start on the screen. In Legacy mode, such wonders does not occur. The reboot also does not apply.

It is also worth saying that in the new miracle BIOS stored a laptop serial and a Windows key, which can be successfully unprepaced by flashing any of its BIOS in non-UEFI mode not according to MSI methods (about it later later). No stickers with Windows key. Instead, it is now a beautiful overflowing landscape, the color of which indicates the editor:

Settings in the factory BIOS as always with the sexual body of the pigeon, but pleases the ability to vomit RAID.

Like the GX740 from above there is a touch panel. And, like in 740, the inactive buttons are again not highlighted, and after all, the third generation of the game series has come. Firewood on it curves, for example, the wat fay turning button after turning on the laptop does not light, even if the wi fi is turned on. So that it caught fire to click on it 2 times - the first turns off the wi fi, the second turns on and the button is on. On the panel there is an ultra useful TURBO function, which activates the acceleration of the video card across the kernel on the whole 15 MHz, you can put world records. By the way, in this place, the screech will be fused at this place if you press a little more. From the same series the drive opening button ... Someone in MSI probably dreamed of a touch button of the actuator, but I would prefer the start button of my application, as it was on 740. There is also an interesting button that makes it The fan is spinning at maximum revs. Would you seem why? But the answer I learned when I started testing for stability in acceleration. The Introduced EU firmware is configured in such a way that the cooler goes to maximum speed only when the processor is reached or a 95 degree video card when they begin to go into trottling. It looks like this - the percent is heated, the fan is not in a hurry, the trottling begins, the fan begins to roar, cools the percentage to 90, and again subsides. As a result, we have FPS drawdors, with periodicity to half a minute. To avoid this, you need to immediately press the miracle button and gaming the turbine is constantly, very convenient. Fortunately, this is solved, about it below.

The button on has its own light bulb of two colors - white and orange. What they show, I did not understand, something related to the load apparently.

Having pleased a separate hardware touchpad button. It is noteworthy that the state is remembered even after disconnecting both power sources, reset bios, flooding, hurricanes.

Now we look inside:

Original

We see two places for hard, which I have already said can be combined into an array. In some tricks, instead of the left Hard, there are two MSATA SSDs in RAID0. As I understand it, after a short study of the landing place, you can insert either a hard one or those two SSDs, and the campaign through the special adapter. I'm not 100% sure, but when I was looking for Wai Fi module, I did not find individual MSATA slots. Wi Fi module I found, it stands under the touch panel on the other side of the laptop to tear it, unscrewing nothing. From the bottom there are two slots for the RAM, one of which I have a blank. It is 4GBH3. Immediately, the BIOS battery connector is seen next, which is useful in some well-known overclockers situations.

The cooling system deserves a separate paragraph. To remove the fan (for cleaning radiators and its own) you need to unscrew only 1 bolt. At the same time, it is not necessary to remove radiators from the projects and the video card, for which the low bow to engineers, because Each time to intermittent the thermal colon when cleaning with me is tired. For good thermalcaste It works normally about a year, and dust is stuck in such a laptop for two months. The heat tubes are thick, on the video card of their integer three, which allows you to remove heat not only with the chip but also with VRM \\ memory. So with the transfer of heat there is no problem. But with the purge of radiators there is a problem. In order to save the useful space and do not inflate the already huge laptop, MSI engineers are already the third generation of their gaming laptops put one turbine on the purge of two radiators. It is certainly powerful and fat (more centimeter in thickness), but hopefully ~ 150vatt with one turbine is very optimistic. There are no problems in my configuration, besides. For a more powerful configuration with GTX 680M and the cherished letter X in the index, the same So that gives me a margin on the heat sink to overclocking. In the next version of this laptop with vidayahs of the 7th series and the 4xxx, with a slightly changed by adding a heating tube connecting the video card and the processor. The solution for me is so dubious, because when one component overheating, one component will significantly warm up and the other, if it is already at the limit, which, by the way, was observed in one inclusive review of such a configuration from 680m. Next, I want to put a point in the question of how the air is moving in CO. I have already seen two reviews, where the authors are confident that the air is sucked through one radiator and blows out through another. Let us leave for their conscience passed lessons in physics. But for readers who still think so, I will reveal the secret that centrifugal fans (and only such in laptops are already 10 and used) the air is suused parallel to the axis of rotation into the center of the impeller and then the air moves in the plane perpendicular axis of rotation to the edges of the impeller. Simply put, sucking from below, and blowing in the side.

Ports. As many as 5 pieces of yusb, 3 on the left, 2 on the right, and those that are left 3.0. Two left and two on the right are closely located - thick flash drives will close access to the second port. Ethernet, HDMI, D-Sub, Esata are behind in the middle. A few words about Ethernet - there is some kind of miracle, called Killer E2200, promising to reduce delays in online games. I play Mechwarrior Online, nothing has decreased. Although maybe I do something wrong? On the left, there are also 4 audio inputs \\ exit with metal connectors and card reader. The quality of the sound in the headphones did not test, but I think it does not mean, for Realtek.

Screen. Matte 17 "TFT 1920x1080 with wled backlight. Not to say that straight, I saw and worse, but apparently because of the big pixel density on a light background, the ripples \\ rainbow \\ shine \\ don't have the same problem on my samsung R70 with Matrix 15 "1680x1050. The brightness is high, with artificial lighting reduced to half. For comparison, the GX740 with CCFL illumination on the maximum also shone both on the GT70 on the very half of the brightness. Black is also black.

The camera is normal, the microphone is heard not only noise, but also my voice.

In general, the quality of the assembly is high, not counting the flexing keyboard and touch panel. In this regard, MSI has grown a bit. The lid closes and opens nicely, when opening the lid, keep the laptop is not needed. Laptop big, fat and heavy (4kg), but looking at the work of Ashus, you understand what could be worse.

Time autonomous work Without backlighting the keyboard and with a whistling throttle of 2.5-3 hours. With the backlight of the keyboard magically smoothly 2 times less. Immediately warn the "connoisks" of mobile graphics, writing in the comments about the fact that in games from the battery game, the laptop will live 10 minutes - from the battery run discrete video card The insertible way is impossible, Intel has been working. From here and this time of autonomous work.

Performance and acceleration.
GT70 0NC-494US configuration is as follows:

Intel Core I7 3630Qm 2,4GHz \\ 3,6GHz TB 4 core cores

Viyach NVIDIA GTX 670MX 3GB GDDR5 600 \\ 700MHz

Hard WD 750GB 7200RPM
NANYA 4GB DDR3-1600 x 3 memory

Everything else does not matter for us, it is the same as in the rest of the equipment (wrote about the screen).
670mx video card is the usual desktop version 660 slaughtered in frequencies, so it is not worth expecting a mega performance, but in 90% of games that are now stamps you can safely spit on ultra or almost on ultra. Attempts to disperse this vessel were very fascinating and informative for me, because NVIDIA While I was sitting on ATI 5870m invented turbobust, trottling and paverlamitis for video cards, and Intel while I enjoyed an overclocked i5-520m invented to transfer the blocker to the chipset and hang Bclk on the same PLL as PEG. As a result, everything that can be squeezed out of this video card without modifying video vessels is 735 MHz on the kernel (because in the software for overclocking a stupid slider further move now) and 1125 MHz in memory (everything is honest here). Percents so do not dispersed in any way.

After not particularly long googling, at the request of "MSI GT70 Overclocking", it was suddenly discovered that for MSI, ASUS laptops, and all sorts of barebons on the basis of the same bundle, there are fused system bios and modified video vessels. There are several sites where they are laid out, but what lay there, I was afraid to sew, because the forum users could not give me answers to questions of the compatibility of versions, UEFI, and other things. But, fortunately, I found the MSI forum in which there is section Requests of modified firmware in which the administrative comrade administration is under the nickname Svet, which himself reels original dumps. It is not free of charge, safely and with the maintenance of the Windows key and everything else is stored in the fashionable UEFI BIOS. Especially since the board is purely symbolic, and the person works operational. For example, the system bios, he returned an hour after the request.

After communicating with the above-mentioned friend, both bios and EC firmware were given to the alteration. System Bios was unlocked, it appeared great amount settings, which even on the desktop you will not always see:

Some options do not work, apparently because it is physically there is no such possibility. And some work incorrectly, for example, it has the opportunity to disconnect the kernel, but you can either turn off the 3 kernels or any one. Most likely, it can be corrected, but I do not need it. From explicit useful options, you can select the following:

Disconnection \\ Turning on HT, VT
-Opportunity manual installation timing and memory frequency (only standard steps 1600,1866,2133, etc.)
- TDP restriction of proceedings and a multiplier for processors with the letter x in the index

If you dig, you can still find something interesting, but I was more interested in the frequency management section. It has the ability to change BCLK, which in this case is the only possibility of overclocking the processor. Unfortunately, PEG changes with BCLK, so acceleration over the tire was unthinkable 4 MHz, which ultimately increased the effective frequency of the megahertz processor at 100. Because Intel does not produce processes with the letter to laptops, and the symbol with the letter X stands as another laptop (at the time of writing it was possible to buy on eBay for 21t.r.), then by and large, the modified systemic bios nafig did not fall unless That special requirements and no anal burning about slow memory. But it was interesting to look.

With video Vobios, it turned out. The trotling on temperature was moved down, paverlamitis increased by 40%, increased the overclocking limit on the kernel, the possibility of controlling the kernel is unlocked.

EC firmware was also corrected, now the cooler comes out 100% at 85 degrees Celsius. As a side effect, you can consider a little increasing noise in a simple.

A few words about the method of overclocking the video card. NVIDIA INSPECTOR program was used to overclock and monitor. To warm and test artifacts, a hairy beauty was used, it was also FurMark 1.11 in the 1920x1080 mode. But there is one nuance. All the favorite fur item heats the Viyama much stronger than any real game. Therefore, in the absence of temperature stabilization below 90 Celsius, the ring was turned off in order to allow the degree of degrees to 10 and then started again. The goal was to figure out the maximum frequencies under which 3DMark11 passes, as well as reveal the mode at which you can gather for hours without overheating. Such modes were found:

1. 615\[Email Protected] The kernel \\ memory respectively. Factory settings. In this mode, the bagel stabilizes the temperature of 77 degrees Celsius.

2. 915\[Email Protected] The kernel \\ memory respectively. This tension is stock. In this mode, the bagel stabilizes the temperature of 84 degrees Celsius.

3. 1032\[Email Protected] The kernel \\ memory respectively. In this mode, the fluffy master of torture warms the video card from 60 to 90 degrees in 5 minutes, but in the gaming the temperature holds at 83-86 degrees, which is quite suitable for a multi-hour game.

4. 1110\[Email Protected] The kernel \\ memory respectively. This voltage is maximum, the software does not give above. In this mode, the ring heats from 60 to 90 per 1 minute, 3DMark11 passes, but it will not work, because When seeing the temperature of the temperature 92c, artifacts begin in the game, then the driver is rebooted. Further increasing frequency leads to artifacts and the impossibility of launching even 3DMark11.

As a test game, Mechwarrior Online was used, in which I actually constantly and exactly. For other games, it is possible to change the settings in a large or smaller direction depending on the load. In MWO, the average increase in FPS amounted to ~ 25 kadras per second on maximum settings Quality. In total, it turned out 45-70 frames per second on different cards, with periodic drawdowns up to 30. However, at the time of the drawings, the loading of the GP was ~ 75%, which can be written off on the mediocre optimization of multithreading this game (there was an article about it here). HT does not give anything. Disabling nuclei by means of Windows exacerbates the result.

Conclusion.
1. According to his personal scale I give this device 8 out of 10 just for what I got for me for so much. If I bought the same in the Russian Federation for 60 pieces would put 5 out of 10.
2. Catch up acceleration desktop analogue of the video card failed. Tlen. On the other hand, if it were possible to raise the stress in memory, the results may be much higher. Even after overclocking 670mx per third is inferior to bandwidth Memory is not overclocked by the desktop progenitor:

And it seems that you feel satisfaction from the fact that the performance growth amounted to 40-50%, but it seems that NVIDIA specially cut the frequency to raise them in the next series without a pallet.
Perhaps someday I will try hard model on video memory, but this is a completely different story (c).

I express sincere thanks to Comrade Svet for modifying firmware.

P.S. Please do not breed srach in the comments on the topic "Yes, for 38 tons, such a desktop gathered ..." This goes beyond the scope of this article.

UPD 14.08.13
I came across randomly on the pictures of the GT70 with Hasveli, and yes - SSD RAID is done through a special adapter:
Original

So if there was no SSD in the configuration, then it will be possible to get this pribrud only on Ebae, etc. Plus find SSD MSATA, which are more expensive. From my point of view, it is advisable and easier to throw out the drive and put another SSD or HDD in its place through the adapter (which and in the raisa is real) than the roaming vegetable garden with these small pribluds.

But the photo of the "upgraded" cooling system:
Original

If the heat tube works as conceived, then it is obvious that the percent will be sinking less than with previous version Co, but the vidkee is frozen even without acceleration. Considering that the percent and so cold (my 83 under Linpack, and Hasvel is also less likely), the meaning of this extended pipe is mysterious for me.

Buying a new laptop is a serious and responsible step that requires a considerable amount of money. Modern users are not in a hurry. First of all, they think about how to increase the performance of the available laptop. Well, it is possible. There are ways to increase the working parameters of the laptop. Optimizing the operation of the operating system and spending some money on a new "iron", you can expand the possibilities of a portable computer. Read more about this in the continuation of the article.

Ways to increase productivity on a laptop

Known methods for increasing the working parameters of the laptop can be divided into two different categories: software and hardware. The first includes methods of optional configuration or overall optimization provided. operating system. The second category includes options for replacing individual blocks to directly increase the technical capabilities of the laptop.

Using programs to accelerate work

If you decide to speed up the laptop work, the first thing is to pay attention to those methods that do not affect the notebook components. So let's consider them:

Cleaning automatic downloads. You noticed that some programs are started when you enable your computer. This happens is no coincidence. The operating system has a list of autoloading, which marks programs starting with the operating system. It happens that this list does something superfluous. Disabling unnecessary functions will help increase the laptop performance. To do this, press the hot key of the "Windows + R" keys, and in the window that appears, the "" command appears. The system will show the system configuration window. In it you need to select the "Auto-loading" tab. Having done this, you will see a list of programs that the system loads when laptop startup. Remove the checkboxes from those items that are optional. These are programs that you use rarely. After that, click "Apply" and then "OK". The system will offer a restart of a laptop for the entry into force, but you can postpone it.
Defragmentation hard disk. In the process of using a laptop, the system saves all the information on the built-in HDD. Data is recorded sequentially, filling all clusters (so called the memory cells in the hard disk) in turn. When the user deletes or moves files, spaces remain. Over time, the system fills them with other data, and it turns out confusion, due to which the process of exchanging information with a hard disk of the laptop slows down. The easiest way to make defragmentation is to open the Start menu, go to the "All Programs" section, open the "Standard" folder, then "service" and select from the list "Disk Defragmentation" from the list. Clicking on it, you will see the window in which you want to choose need section And confirm the action.
Setting the power plans. Find the control panel in the Start menu, start it and select "Power Supply". Opening it, you will see that by default the system offers a "balanced" mode. In order for the laptop to work faster, check the checkbox opposite the "High Performance" item (be prepared for the fact that the battery consumption will increase markedly). It is also worth entering the settings of the Power Plan and set the options at your discretion. They are very very much there, so be careful. When this will be finished, click "Apply." After restarting the laptop, you will certainly notice an increase in system performance.

Laptop upgrade by overclocking or replacing components

If the recommendations on how to programmatically increase the performance of the laptop, will not give the desired result, you will have to upgrade the "iron". It will require financial costs, but, but this option is a win-win. In the following sections of the article describes in detail how to strengthen old laptopWhen changing some work blocks. Please note these recommendations and you can raise the system performance.

Increased RAM

The first thing that comes to mind is the expansion of RAM. Before do this, check the performance index of your laptop. To do this, go to the system control panel and select "Counters and Means of Performance". Run the system test (button "Repeat the rating" located below). Pay attention to the "Memory (RAM)" indicator. If it is below 4.5 means you need to install a more powerful RAM card or add to the existing one more with similar parameters. You can perform this task yourself or contact the service center.

Replace HDD on SSD Disc

SSD solid-state hard drives are characterized by high performance and speed recording / reading data, so they are often used for Windows 7 and Windows 8. If you feel the need for such an improvement, you will have to buy a new disk SSD. And install it. Before doing this, test your HDD using the built-in "Counters and Productivity Means" program. After installation, spend a retest and notice a tangible difference. Special efficiency this method memory improvements demonstrates on lenovo laptops, Samsung (Samsung), Acer and Asus.

Replacing processor

If you ask a specialist about how to upgrade a laptop for games, you will recommend to change the old processor to a new one, with greater productivity. If you have appropriate experience, you can cope with this task yourself, at home. First, find out which processor will be compatible with your laptop. In such cases, it is recommended to choose models used in senior configurations of the same series.

Setting the cooling system

As a rule, hardware problems occur due to too much. Good system Cooling is a good laptop accelerator. It's not difficult to bring it in order even for a user without experience. If you do not have any idea how to improve the cooling of the laptop, remember the main one: to prevent overheating of the internal function blocks, it is necessary to contain coolers and thermal polisters in the normal state. Remove the bottom cover of the laptop and you will see all flawed with your own eyes. At the worst case, you will have to replace the cooler and update the thermal chaser on the processor.

How to overclock the processor on a laptop

If the existing clock frequency of the processor is missing - it means it's time to think about how to overclock the laptop for games. Make it can everyone, but you need to be careful, because we are talking On the operation of complex electronics outside the recommended norms. If you have no doubt about the quality of the processor, try to overclock it at your own risk. Below is given general instructionsallowing to do it:

restart the laptop and log in to the BIOS;
open the Advanced tab (depending on the BIOS version of the name may vary);
find the CPU Speed \u200b\u200bitem and increase its value to a maximum of 10-15% (the features of the interface are always described on the side panel on the right);

If, besides the clock frequency of the processor, you are concerned about how to increase the performance of the video card, in the Advanced section, find the appropriate item and increase the value set by default by 10-15%, but not more. Nowadays, the Internet is a shot of articles about various methods Overclocking, but you must remember that any increase in productivity through the BIOS system is associated with the risk of damage to the hardware. If you do not have the appropriate experience, find out the sin to see how to change the video card on the laptop and do it.

Methods for increasing the performance of a laptop

Modern computer games And applications are so demanding that not every PC can "pull" them. What to say about laptops. After all, graphic adapters of most laptops are noticeably inferior in performance by video chips that are installed on the PC. As a result, even on a relatively recently purchased laptop, it is often impossible to launch fresh games or comfortably play them because of lags, hangors, etc. What do you do? Constantly update iron? No, since it is quite expensive. Alternatively, you can try to overclock the video card on a laptop.

What is understood by acceleration of the video card? Everything is simple. This is the procedure for increasing its performance. As a rule, it includes an increase in the frequencies on which the graphic core and memory works. At the same time, for overclocking video cards, it is recommended to use special utilities. Currently the most popular are:

GPU Tweak
Thundermaster.
PowerStrip, etc.

Do not forget to prepare a video card for overclock in advance. What exactly needs to be done?

Check the cooling system, as well as make sure that the power supply power is sufficient.
Update motherboard BIOS to the latest version.
Load the fresh software for the video card. It is desirable that it was the last stable version Drivers and DirectX.

For reference! Note that the acceleration of the integrated video card (for example, the same Intel HD Graphics) is not always effective. Often the system simply does not accept new chip parameters. Also, often the built-in adapter is so low that acceleration does not bring any positive results.

Laptop video card overclocking using MSI Afterburner

Upload the Afterburner utility itself. Can be from the official site of the developer or with third-party resource. As you prefer.
Install and run the program.
For convenience, change the interface language. To do this, open the "Settings" subsection (depending on the version of the transition button can be either signed, or have the gear icon) and go to the "User Interface" tab. We choose our native language. If the menu is Russified, then you skip this item.
In the "settings" in the column "Choosing the lead graphic processor»We specify a video card for overclocking. Do not forget that many modern laptops (HP, Acer, Asus, Lenovo, Samsung, etc.) are equipped with two adapters - built-in and discrete. Therefore, if you have two vidyuhi on your device, then activate the "Synchronize settings of the same GP" option, putting a tick.
Here in the "Main" tab, exhibit a tick opposite "Unlock Voltage Monitoring". Go to the "Cooler" tab at the top of the window and activate "Enable software user autonomy". It is necessary in order to independently set the desired cooler speed with defined. To do this, use a special schedule where you just move the point. Just do not exhibit the fan speed by 100% - it can fail. It is enough 85-90%.
Close "Settings". Apply to the special "sliders" in the main menu of the application. Do not touch the Fan Speed \u200b\u200bitem and leave the value to AUTO. But the Core Clock parameter (kernel frequency) increase by 10-20 MHz. After that, click "Apply." This is a button in the form of a check mark. In some versions of Afterburner, it can be called "Apply".
Now you need to increase the frequency of the video card. So you move the Memory Clock slider for 10-20 MHz. Click "Apply."

Naturally, you need to check whether the video cards managed to disperse. You can go into a powerful toy and "spin" her 1-1.5 hours. At the same time, periodically paying attention to the temperature of the graphics adapter. If it holds within the normal range, there are no distortion (colored miners), anomalies in the form of strips and points on the screen, then we again move the slider by 10-20 MHz.

And so repeat the procedure. As long as do not bring the video card to the limit of their capabilities. Then you need to return to AfterBurner and reduce all the values \u200b\u200bthat you have changed, for 10 MHz, saved and exit.

At the same time, carefully follow the temperature of the video chip! If it exceeded 90 degrees, then more accelerate graphic adapter It is impossible! Even if there are no signs of trottling.

Check the video card's ability to work at a given frequency, not only through the "Joining" of powerful games, but also through the launch of the MSI Kombustor utilities, 3DMark06 or FurMark. In our opinion, the easiest way to use 3DMark06. All that is needed:

Run a program.
Click on the Run 3DMark button. Expect the end of testing.
If at this time the laptop display issued blue screenhung or disconnected or various graphics defects (lines, squares, stripes, etc.) appeared, then the frequency should be reduced.
Testing has passed without distortion and freezing? Then again using the Afterburner program, you increase the frequency of the video card (kernel and graphics memory) by 10-20 MHz.
After that, we again conduct a stress test via Run 3DMark. And so far do not "spin" the limit of video card performance.

What you should pay attention to?

Is it dangerous overclocking (some call it "overclocking") video cards? For example, this procedure is really responsible, moderately complex. However, if you do everything right, you can not worry that the video chip burns or fail. The main thing to monitor the temperature of the video card. After all, in laptops, it is often so close to the maximum permissible.

Optimally, this indicator does not exceed 90 degrees. At the same time, a number of modern gaming video cards working temperature May and make 100 degrees at all. This is normal. Only if you have a video adapter and is heated without loads to such a state, then it is better to forget about acceleration at all!

In addition, it is especially attentive to be with integrated chips. They basically have passive system cooling. That is, equipped with a single with a processor on a laptop with a thermal tube. Or cooled by one fan. As a result, during overclocking, such a video card heats the CPU itself, which at a temperature of 90-95 ° C begins to go into trottling, resetting operating frequencies. Naturally, in this case, the performance of the device suffers.

How effective is the acceleration of the video card on the laptop?

What increase in power can be obtained when a laptop video card is accelerated? It is difficult to say. Much depends on the video chip itself and its cooling system:

Worst of all "accelerate" vidyuhi from little-known Chinese manufacturers. If you manage to get an increase of 10%, then it is already good.
It is also almost impossible to achieve improvements on flagship models in the ruler. For example, NVIDIA GeForce. GTX 1080, RADEON R9 FURY X, etc., on average, during the acceleration of such cards, you can exit a maximum of 5-10% frequency growth.
It is best to accelerate the younger and medium models of video cards in a ruler (AMD FX-8300, AMD FX-8350, Intel Core I5-6400, etc.). The potential for increasing the frequencies is not bad. So many craftsmen improve their capacity by 40-50%.

As for embedded video cards, it can be further improved by another way. For example, increasing the volume random access memory. An additional Planck RAM will avoid the redistribution of memory between the processor and the video card to the detriment of the latter.

Also, if an integrated video card on the device, you can try to overclock it through bIOS settings motherboard. It's not hard. Difficulties may arise only because different laptops Different with their interface of the bios menu. Therefore, it is not always possible to find the desired section from the first time.

In addition, you can not only disperse a video card. But the rest of the important components of the laptop. The same processor. It is done in different ways. For example, to overclock the HP laptop (many devices of this manufacturer are "famous" by their slowness):

Go to the bios menu.
In the Advanced tab, we find a clause called "Overclocking Mode" (in CPU Settings).
We pay attention to the available overclocking options. They are usually reflected in the percentage ratio or multiplier (4x, 5x). Choose one of them.
Save and reboot the device.

Good day!

Unfortunately, many users have to work on old or low-performance laptops, solving certain tasks (After all, our capabilities do not always coincide with our desires). But even the work of such devices can be done somewhat faster, if you all correctly set up and buy a bit of "glands".

I think that many more than once and did not notice two, as it seems to be a similar laptop performance - work completely differently: one - all the time hangs, slows down, and the other - instantly opens programs, quickly performing custom tasks. This is the confirmation of the foregoing.

Actually, in this article I would like to give a few tips and recommendations that will help increase the productivity of the laptop (and if you make small attachments and conduct an upgrade - then the device can be significantly done faster!).

How to increase productivity

Upgrade

In general, the laptops are "bad" augment to the upgrade, they can be replaced little in them. However, in most laptops you can expand the number of RAM and install the SSD drive.

Moreover, I immediately note that the upgrade will make your laptop more productive and faster than this can be achieved by optimizing software. Actually, therefore I put it in the first place in the article.

1) Solid State Drive

This is the first thing I would recommend installing a laptop (and on the PC too). Many users, by the way, underestimate SSD and believe that there will be no bigger growth and convenience in work. However, I have a hurry to assure that even the naked eye is noticeable, as a laptop begins to work faster:

windows load is accelerated (instead of a minute, the download occurs for 7-10 seconds);
programs start speeding: the same documents open immediately, and not with a pause that happens when using HDD;
after windows downloads There will be no longer a load on the disk 100% (this often happens when you have a large number of programs in the autoloader).

And in general, the laptop becomes much more responsive. In addition, I will note that now the prices are SSD drives They became more accessible: almost every user can afford to the system for a system per 100 GB.

Addition!

If you catch a share in Chinese-online stores and use cachek, then the memory or disk can be bought much cheaper than in ordinary stores. Recommended for familiarization -

2. If you do not have the M2 port, then the second disk (including it can be SSD) can be connected to a laptop and in other ways:

2) Installation of an additional plank (RAM)

A1278 A1286 DDR3 Sodimm 4GB / Planck RAM, as an example

In laptops, quite often come across the lack of RAM. For example, most laptops are on sale (today) have on board 4-8 GB, which is often not enough ...

For example, I will give a banal situation. You have a laptop, say, 3 GB of RAM and you decided to run a toy that 4 GB is required for full-fledged work. Part of the textures, game data, etc., naturally, could not be loaded into RAM and was placed in the paging file (which is located on the hard disk).

The RAM speed is ten times higher than that of the hard disk. Naturally, when this data is required in the game and they will start loaded - the brakes will begin (at the same time, you will immediately notice that the rigid disk activity has increased).

In general, the addition of memory always has a positive effect on performance. True, I note that if the difference between 3 GB and 8 GB of RAM (for example) is noticeable to the naked eye, then between 8 GB and 16 GB - not every experienced user will notice. This is me to the fact that there is a measure everywhere, and not always low productivity rests on RAM.

On how to add a RAM to a laptop to a laptop, you can learn from this article: (There are some "thin" moments, not a consideration that can be used to spend money).

Optimization by

Under this, I understand the "thin" setting of Windows and applied softwarethat you use. Thanks to this "shamanist", it is possible to slightly increase the speed and performance, reduce the number of lags and brakes. Even if you have an old laptop, it's all the same, its speed of work (albeit not much) should increase ...

1) Checking OS autoloading, removal of unnecessary software

After that, check the Windows startup: it is often prescribed a large number of programs that you rarely use.

In Windows 10 to view the autoload, you must open task Manager (Combination of buttons: Even if you turn off all programs here, your laptop should work).

Disconnect unnecessary programs In autoload

You can also view the autoload in the AIDA64 utility: Program Section / Startup (Example is presented below).

2) Windows cleaning from "garbage"

The next thing would recommend, it would be cleaned by a "garbage" system (different temporary files, empty folders, labels, erroneous entries in the registry, etc.). All this in the complex can significantly affect system performance.

3) Power supply - Select the mode of maximum performance

Notebooks often have a cornerstone - this is a power supply. Some device manufacturers are added to several modes, for example, one for the maximum working time of the laptop from the battery (but with low performance), and the second mode is high performance (in which the battery sits down much faster).

By default, most often, it includes either the mode with minimal electricity consumption, or a balanced mode.

How can you check the power supply parameter and change it, if necessary:

4) a few words about drivers

I would recommend checking the system and update the drivers to those devices for which there are "updates". For automatic search and update drivers To all glands on a laptop, I recommend using specials. Utilities:

5) As for the games ...

If you slow down the games, then in addition to the measures taken above, I recommend setting the video card and the game itself. Those. In the settings of the drivers on the video card set maximum productivity, In the game settings, on the contrary, put minimal settings. Due to this, you can add up to 20-30% FPS (which is very significant)!

6) Use special. By low system requirements

By the way, pay attention to the software that use. For example, if you are terribly inhibits an antivirus or browser, then they can be replaced by analogues on those programs that the requirements for PC characteristics are significantly lower.

My blog has a couple of articles on this topic (but, I will add that analogues can be found to many programs!).

7) What else can I optimize ...

Additionally, you can disable the indexing of files on the disk, some services in the OS that you do not need to perform disk defragmentation, etc. True, I would not feel that these measures will significantly increase productivity, but nevertheless.

That's all, good luck to everyone!
