For Linpack, you want to set linpack to 4 threads, and use task manager to set its affinity to only 4 cores. I wanted to know if the 4980HQ suffers from this issue, or if relaxing its power limits etc (for overclocking as well as it's allowed to hit 4.2GHz on all 4 cores) is possible. Because of this, it throttles under heavy load where it should not normally throttle. It won't ever draw beyond 57W which is its default turbo limits, whereas you can see that my 3.5GHz (stock) 4800MQ can pull 80W in the same scenario. 100W, and the current limit to 100A, then run something like Linpack. For example: with an i7-4720HQ I could set the power limits to say. I'll give two image examples below of my CPU having a maximum draw of well over the stock TDP (check the maximum column in HWiNFO for the Linpack bench as I don't run the screenshot program during its bench):Ĭlick to expand.I need to know if the CPU itself is capable of going beyond its inborne turbo power/current limits. Some examples I have are below please use HWiNFO in "sensors only" mode to check for TDP and clock speed per core. In general, I need to see you drawing above your short power turbo boost max of 57W and not dropping overclocked values on your CPU under load. In general, I need you to run a couple stress tests/benches like Intel's stress test or Linpack or something. The options are available to tune in intel XTU, however adjusting the sliders does absolutely nothing.Ĭan anyone with either of these machines reply here and basically be my guinea pig so I can put proper information in the mobile i7 CPU guide in my signature? The GT72 and GT80 Titan laptops are among the only ones on the market that've had enough love for someone to actually own one, and I've already had users test the 4710HQ and 4720HQ chips for me already.īasically, the point is that the HQ line appears to be TERRIBLE at increasing TDP limits, Current limits and possibly even Voltage limits. I want to test the 4980HQ CPU's overclocking, TDP limit, current limit, and voltage limit potentials.
