overclocking in macbook pro

[mkusidd]

hey, can anybody tell me hw can i overclock my macbook pro??

[H4X3R]

Lol, it's hot enough already. No overclocking possible btw (mobile chip w/ a chipset that doesn't support overclocking)

[ImBleu]

Not Possible. The Chip, Chipset & Form factor do not support overclocking.

[mkusidd]

no like at least 3.0 ghz???

my buddys macbook pro overheated to the point the motherboard died. It was a common problem in late 2011s, but the whole pc gets STUPID hot, and its already really loud under load, so theres no wiggle room left.

its physically not possible, they lock you out from overclocking

[mkusidd]

it has an intel processor

cant i overclock it???

@mkusidd

Do you have a k chip? If so you can but you need to install a hacked EFI which can brick your computer

That would be condemn me of assisted suicide of a MacBook Pro. Wouldn't surprise me if the thing set on fire...

No you can't, and even if you could it would be a terrible decision.

If it has an Intel i5k or Intel i7k it could overclock, provided the motherboard supported it. Macbook Pros use Core i5-U, i7-U, i5-M and i7-M CPUs, Overclocking is not possible at all. Not even 3.0.

anymore suggestions to get my games run faster without overclocking

[Hans Christian | Teri]

Buy a desktop PC. Your MacBook Pro was not built for gaming. Love it for what it is instead of trying to make it something it's never going to be.

It's Apple, you can't even properly upgrade it. OC is a no no with Apple.

 

Your games will run faster if you lower the settings (optimize them), I suggest you get an optimizer.

I don't know how it is with apple, but if you have an nVIDIA or AMD GPU inside you can get their software (GeForce Experience / Gaming Evolved) and optimize your games there.

Also another thing is, when you are playing, turn off all other programs that eat your cpu and gpu power, such as recording software for example.

I believe you can add ram and/or change drive but thats about it. Oh, wait you are talking about LAPTOP. Nope, get something real, like desktop and we can talk about it.

It already throttles at stock clocks. Don't do it.

You could overclock the dedicated GPU in Windows using Afterburner if you really wanted to, but again, it makes no difference because it'll overheat and slow down automatically anyway.

The only Intel macs that the CPU could be overclocked in were the early Mac Pros. There exists an OSX too for that.
