BIOS UPDATE Zbook g3 for OVERCLOCK

[achenzaf]

Hi HP community,
I'm doing benchmark tests
with my HP Zbook g3 and I can not overclock
the video card
01: 00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107GLM [M2000M Panel] (rev a2)

I try with windows and GPU-Z and  with linux but the board not return the response that I expect...

nvidia-smi -i 0 -q -d POWER

All is N/A...

I read that the bios from the video card
depends on the bios of the motherboard...

I also read that the new processors can be overclocked a lot

My cpu is:

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6820HQ CPU @ 2.70GHz.......

Will a new BIOS update come out?

Welcome to the HP Support Community @achenzaf

I have never heard of a Zbook GPU being overclocked??? "The one I am using now is a Zbook 17 G2"

You asked:   Will a new BIOS update come out? "What version is your BIOS now???"

Yes a new one could come in the future.

What would you be looking for in a BIOS update???

<< What would you be looking for in a BIOS update??? >>

I hope I can overclock cpu and video card...

[achenzaf]

in future, can HP enable the overclock ?

@achenzaf

Sorry but it is not upto HP:

It is upto AMD and Intel to enable the CPU to be overclocked.

Your CPU is not enabled to be overclocked.

in the old BIOS you could ...
now it's becoming impossible on all the new PCs.
