I bet you won't get any lower than 75° with a 30XX GPU after 6 hours, probably a lot closer to 80° (or even above that) than what you might think. So you're complaining about 70°? That is an amazing temperature for a laptop and the reason why it is that cool is because it is thick. If you go to...

Perfect comment, that's exactly what I've noted as well and was going to mention here. It is very likely not going to work as I've never seen a laptop that supported 1.35V, but if they're selling it then it might mean that at least a few would (let me know if you can find one). I also saw the...

I was reading something about a service called Nahimic that was causing crashes on ASUS laptops and motherboards for Forza 3 and 4. Not sure if you have tried that already @barlew , but might be a good start. You need to close all the Nahimic processes on the task manager and if it solves your...

Thanks for your generosity @Bhuna50 and @ActuallyDenz (y)

Yes, those are my settings:

Yep, I think it's the only way to install it. Well, now Forza 4 is on Steam anyway, but both my licenses (3 and 4) were acquired through the Microsoft sotre. I don't have Forza 4 installed anymore since I have done pretty much everything that was achievable, but been playing Horizon 3 since...

If I can do anything to help, let me know. Like share my settings, install location, windows configs... whatever you think could be of help to you (y) Forza Horizon is quite a great game, I absolutely love it.

@ActuallyDenz or @Bhuna50 , quoting you 2 because both are giving them away... can I have Simulacra 1 + 2 please, if that's still available?

@barlew I do have Forza Horizon 3 and play it on a regular basis... never had any issues or crashes with it, to be fair. I have also formatted my PC once and installed everything from scratch, with no issues again. :unsure: That is indeed weird that you (and a lot of other ppl) are having issues...

Thanks, it's great to finally have more contributions to the OC/UC rank ;)

I could see from your new results that you tweaked the GPU memory and GPU clocks a bit, so if you share with us what's the maximum clock that you set up, then I can add your new results to the Tuned Rank. (y)

Thanks for sharing ☺️, it's always good to see how things have improved in just a few years. Would you mind sharing more info about your laptop, like how PCS used to call it (Defiance, recoil, etc.) and if it's a 15 or 17" laptop? Thanks!

Thanks, I'll then use the second post for the ranks and see how long it will take until I reach the limit again :ROFLMAO: . We can think about another solution when that happens.

Sorry @Chimp , I have not yet updated the rank with your results because I've now reached the character limit on the original post. @SpyderTracks @Scott , is there something we could do about it? Maybe if there was a way to add 2 extra posts to split instructions, stock rank and OC rank? I...

The free version of 3DMark does give you access to the basic Timespy and Firestrike benchmarks, you don't need to upgrade it if you don't want to.

You definitely need a new fan, but I don't know how easy is it going to be to find a replacement fan for a 2013 laptop. You will need to look on the back cover of your laptop to find the chassis manufacturer (Clevo, TongFang, Quanta, etc.) and the chassis model number in order to look for...

It is now updated, @Macco26 . I also took advantage of the unusual snow in April to run the benchmark one last time with cold ambient temperatures after having repasted my laptop with Noctua NT-H2. I finally got over 21k graphics score by sustaining higher average clocks while still keeping GPU...

I would also try to connect the HDMI cable to the TV that you were able to connect wirelessly with no issues. Maybe it's something with the TV itself? But if that one also doesn't work, then it could be the cable as @Bhuna50 said

Hahaha, thanks for the compliment of my excel graphs :p . I've never heard of Outer Wilds, I'll have a look at some videos about it Regarding the CPU... undervolting does help, but I'm not sure how Control Center will behave when you start changing voltage and clocks outside of it. Last time I...

No, of course not. And that is indeed the way to make it boot again after a failed memory overclock. All PCs and laptops have that CMOS battery to save BIOS settings when they're off or unplugged from the wall/battery, so removing that CMOS will reset BIOS settings to their default.
