Caution
Intel does not recommend overclocking Intel® graphics frequencies. Overclocking might cause damage and can void your warranty. Intel recommends operating Intel graphics frequencies inside the documented specifications. Only qualified technically advanced users should attempt any overclocking procedures.

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

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

1Warning: Altering clock frequency and/or voltage may: (i) reduce system stability and useful life of the system, processor, and other system components; (ii) cause the processor and other system components to fail; (iii) cause reductions in system performance; (iv) cause additional heat or other damage; and (v) affect system data integrity. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of the processor beyond its specifications. Intel has not tested, and does not warranty, the operation of other system components beyond their industry standard specifications. Intel assumes no responsibility that the processor and other system components, including if used with altered clock frequencies and/or voltages, will be fit for any particular purpose.
