Overclocking Intel UHD 620

[SteveW311]

Hello all!  First of all, I hope this doesn't get buried in the mix of all the new nvidia graphic card conversations. lol

I have upgraded my display on my laptop. I cracked my old display, and it was a 1366x768 display. HP, made a 1080p version of this laptop, so, I bought the better display, the part was right out of the service manual, and replaced it. However, When I am trying to adjust the settings on the display, Its telling me that I can't do a resolution higher than 1366x768, i get a bandwidth error. However, I can run a second monitor at 1080p no problem. I am a little leery about overclocking to get the right resolution, because, well... 1. I have never done it, and 2. I don't want to break anything. Ive done that enough. haha

Will the intel XTU overclock for a higher resolution. or just better performance?

 

Thanks in advance all!

Not sure if you can overclock it but if you were able to it would boost performance, for the reselution problem I think the laptop doesn’t like whatever res it is

XTU would just be for better clocks, AFAIK display connections are set bandwidth, I don't know what solution that laptop uses but I doubt it can be improved. Are you certain that the 1080p versions used the same logic board as your one? I've been stumped by a similar issue before, with the high-res version of a 2008 MacBook Pro display panel that seemed compatible but that configuration was build-to-order and uses a different connector, so it isn't even basic hardware compatible. Laptop compatibility can be weird like that. If it's a common upgrade (I don't know what model you have), there's likely a megathread for owners of that exact model on a laptop forum somewhere, and usually they've ran through issues like that before and found solutions. If it's an uncommon model/upgrade then it's really hit or miss.

I read the service manual before I ordered this new display. And this display is right from HP. It uses the same 40 pin connector as my old display. I know the displays are different because the new one is glossy, which I didn't care for, but sucked it up because I wanted the better resolution. And there is only one Mobo for this model and sub-models. I just don't know why they would limit the bandwidth knowing there were 10 or so versions of this laptop with 3 different display solutions, also 2 of those being 1080... 

I do Know that I loathe HP... lol

What laptop model is it? And have you tried bothering HP's support to see if they have any advice to offer (though tbh unless it's an RMA you're interested in, google is likely more helpful)?

its a 15-cs0053cl. when looking up the model, you might run into the issue that HP lists this model as having a 1080 display on some of their webpages. But the specific model page lists it correctly as having a 1366x768 display.
