CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread
My Processor -> Intel C2Q Q6600
Cooler -> ThermalRight Ultra 120 eXtreme
RAM -> G.Skill DDR3 1333 MHz
Motherboard -> GA-G41M-Combo
Everything is stock, no not going into details, just mentioning the settings which I have chagned for the OC.
I didnt touch vCore / RAM / multiple or anything. All I did is increased the FSB of the processor from default 1066 MHz to 1333 Mhz. Which took the 2.4 GHz stock speed to 3.0 GHz

Ok will try..
Ok will try..
I think the first screenshot I posted of stress testing contains HW_monitor for temps display on load
Here is the CPU-Z (idle)

^^ thanks for the screenshot and HWmonitor screensht cam also shw you current, max and minimum cpu vcore in use, that's why i asked for hwmonitor screenshot - anyway, you have a nice cpu with G0 stepping which can be clocked more ( 3.6-3.8) with right mobo/cooling.
Thats the saddest part..
I used to have a Nvidia 650i based board, there with Corsair DDR-II running @ 1000 MHz, this processor was able to clock 3.8 GHz stable for long term use.
In winter I used to touch 4 Ghz mark also, but in summer, 3.8 GHz was the edge of limit for it.
However ever since my Nvidia 650i based died
I didnt have any other option apart from G41. This G41 linked with RAM is not allowing me to go beyond 1333 MHz as taking RAMs (at present DDR-III) over that is resulting in no BOOT .Never felt the need of replacement recently when in Windows 8 and Server 2012, it refused to run native virtualization with error for SLAT not being supported by the processor
Microsoft didn't play fair here, not supporting native virtualization platform for these C2Q series.
Intel Core 2 CPU do comes with VT-X, VMWare, Windows Virtual PC used support this and run pretty well
how ever, this native Hyper-V of Server 2012 and Windows 8 needs another feature called SLAT. ^^ Ok, I must have confused one with another and thanks for the info on a SLAT - time to do some readings
MS doing monopoly by not allowing older processors to run newer OS and helping Intel and AMD to sell more

Sumon, i request you to provide me a possible Over-clock profile and step by step methodology to ramp up i7-4700MQ mobile CPU.
highlight on below points would be greatly appreciated.
1. Points supporting the overclock as to why i should or should not.
2. Performance gain if overclocked and its advantage in gaming performance.
3. How to overclock CPU, haven't done ever, so step by step process with tools and s/w details to track, tune and upgrade.
4. All overclock profiles, i would prefer a moderate oc, not extreme, keeping in mind the heating. all configuration settings for the same.
5. Any cooling solutions i should implement or have before/after overclocking and how to get it/from where.
You can PM me with the details or post on top of this...thanks in advance

very nice job done on that 220W monster and if it's bench stable just wondering what's the load temp cpu bench/stability test apps.

Is it even possible to OC 4700QM and what about the heat ? If you want to gain additional performance better stick with gpu oc if you can manage the heat.

I got 4.9 ghz cinebench and bf3 stabilty....this was a pure suicide run....for single thread benchmarks...

Re: CPU Overclock List & Discussion Thread
Sam , you shouldn't try Overclocking Mobile CPUs from Intel.
IvoryBridge onwards the mobile CPUs were damn too hot to be overclocked beyond the turbo boost limit.
In fact my IVBm reaches 95-98C on 2-3 Cores just like that , when at Turbo. And It has a Tjmax of 105c , so it's dangerously close to the upper limit.
BTW, you can look into overclocking your laptop's GPU ( I think you have a Xenom laptop with some kepler 2nd Gen GPU. )
That should suffice and will give considerable boost in performance. But for the CPU part it would be too risky to even try for the additional performance expected which would be very marginal.
TG ,This time they changed the name to MQ instead of QM . makes us 3rd gen owners confuse ourselves. haha
And yeah I highly doubt that's its possible to Overclock that chip because it's not a K-Series Chip.Even if it's remotely possible to overclock it , I highly doubt someone would be able to find the solution so early.
Plus , I looked into the TjMax of the Chip and it seems that it's even lower than IVBm chips. It's reduced to 100C from 105C of IVB. That makes it even harder.

^^ OCing is getting a tough business on Intel platform and with so many products [ read cpu ] released in a short time frame sometime it can get really confusing
@ sumonpathak - so what's the load temps under BF3/Cinebench @ 4.9 Ghz - I just want to know how much heat this big green monster can generate
