There are some times when I want to respond to more or less meaningless threads such as these with just "k."
A 0.18% increase in performance means you didn't overclock well. I was easily getting 12%-15% increases when I overclocked my old GT650M.
The reason laptop overclocking is advised against is that it goes against the idea of a laptop. You're increasing the heat output in a frame designed to cool the parts to a bare minimum so that they won't set themselves on fire, and increasing the power draw in a system designed to draw as little power as possible. It has nothing to do with performance gains, as the performance gains can sometimes be pretty reasonable.
notice the standard turbo boost speeds were very similar as the overclocked, the only difference is that the overclocked is locked to max turbo boost speeds and GPU clocks at all times (even if the laptop is idle or overheating) the standard was not, also no overvolting was done
That's not how it works, With Kepler, you overclock by setting an offset on the so-called "Kepler boost", which is the dynamic overclocking it already does for itself beyond its rated boost clock. There's no easy way to can force it to stay on max clocks at idle, but increasing the max boost clock is extremely simple.
No overvolting was done for my GT 650M either.
Also, if I remember correctly the GT740M is just a very slightly underclocked GT650M. So somehow you see no gains on a chip that I overclocked to very noticeable gains.
all you do is go in intel XTU and put all the multipliers to their max value, then look in HWiNFO and all the CPU clocks will be stuck on their highest turbo clocks even with nothing else running on your pc ie idle and yes the GT750M, 740M and 650M all used the same Kepler (GK107), 384 unified : 32 : 16, 28nm chip clocked at various speeds
update: just tried the max overclock again and got 6.26% increase above standard, temperatures also very good, can probably push it higher http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/6108950?
You have no idea how to overclock. I'm starting to even have my doubts about whether or not you even know what overclocking is.
Forcing a max boost speed constantly is NOT overclocking, and is utterly stupid.
any increase of clock speed/frequency above the factory preset counts as overclocking, the CPU is a i7-4700MQ Max Turbo Frequency 3.4GHz that is the max it can reach at any time, so if I were to set the multiplier to 36 x instead of the default 34 x that counts as overclocking as the max possible frequency has been increased by 200MHz to 3.6GHz
but this is like saying all laptops are liquid cooled as heat pipes use water or alcohol and those are liquids, most people don't consider pumpless designs as watercooling, just like not going into BIOS for CPU overclock isn't really consider overclocking by you
