Intel HD 630 overclock

[Lord Nicoll]

I didn't think it was possible to overclock the iGPU, but apparently my BIOS has options for it, although the 1400MHz clock I set doesn't seem to be taking effect, however it also seems unstable as the GPUz render test crashes, I'm guessing overclocking the iGPU is a bad idea? Anyone have anything to say otherwise?

i think there is a setting in the intel drivers for overclocking on some igpu's but i'm not sure how much more power you would get vs temp increase.. especially if it is a laptop

well, it's an i7 7700K delidded with a 5-5.2GHz turbo boost (5.2GHz for 1 core, 5.1GHz for 2/3 core and 5GHz for 4 core)

well that is the processing power of it, but not the GPU.. 

this is from intels site regarding overclocking internal gpu's 

Spoiler

Although not recommended, it is possible to overclock¹ the graphics frequency (graphics ratio) for the Intel® processors listed here.

Note	Only the Intel® processors listed here are capable of overclocking the graphics frequency; other Intel processors are not.

you'll get more back from purchasing a gpu than risking to destroy the igpu.. i would think at that level, a few extra frames won't be worth it for the instability issues or temperature increase.. with overclock it would perform equal to or maybe even just manage to outperform a 730.. but again, i think the real world results you will get is negligible..

why not get a cheap dedicated one? the 1050 starts at around 100 bucks.. 

you also won't have to dedicate system ram to the IGPU either

download intel extreme utility. If its a desktop, the bios usually has options to overclock IGP.

To maximize IGPU performance and overclocking headroom , first you'll need to remove all the CPU overclocks on your i7 to provide more headroom for your igpu to overclock , you might want to consider underclocking ur i7 by abit to push the igpu even harder , your i7 is never going to bottleneck ur hd 630 anyway .

 

Secondly , make sure you're running on a dual channel high speed ram  , 2400mhz or higher , and make sure its dual channel .

 

Lastly  , in order to push the IGPU clocks even higher try installing a beefier CPU cooler . 

 

All these steps actually makes a lot of sense if you're on an ultra budget and you don't mind gaming on 720p .

You can overclock it but dont expect massive performance boost
