    Yes I have

    +240Mhz on core (Somewhere between there and 250Mhz it becomes unstable, haven't been bothered to discover exactly at what point)
    I haven't really bothered with vRAM OC but only around +350Mhz on vRAM with the core OC'd

    The voltage is at 1.05v

    I'll download the free version and give it a try then.

    It all depends on the game. CPU max I've seen in Black Ops 3 is ~75C and GPU a nice and cool 61C
    (This is on auto fans, max fans is a lot cooler...)

    Stress tests on my CPU with max fans doesn't even go over 60C

    Your image doesnt work. But i will check ot later why mine appears lower. It can be because my precision x was turned off so the overclock wasnt applied. And thisbwas before i started to use the prema bios. Stock bios doesnt offer higher than 135 overclock.

    the funny thing is that i have a better score without making an extreme overclock ... maybe your OC is unbalanced
    here is my high oc :

    Asic is an indication of the chip quality but not decisive and dedinitely not the only factor. Power delivery quality is very importsnt as well.

    Ya, ASIC isnt the end all see all.
    There have been cards that have gotten a high ASIC and did not overclock very well and there have been cards that have had low ASIC and overclocked pretty decent.
    Its a good reference point of sorts but especially with laptops there seems to be much more variables at play.

    Another thing we should do in this thread is along with posting our ASIC we should post how high we can get our GPU overclocks.
    When doing this keep the CPU and system memory at stock clocks.
    That would be some interesting data.

    Nicer overclock :) Seems you got a nice chip.

    Here's my new score after updating to 365.19 drivers
    http://www.3dmark.com/3dm/13529656

    (Didn't keep CPU OC'd so physics suffered a little)

    lol you are not going to belive me, but i had to use DDU because my gpu didnt want to come back from that extreme overclock lol ..... i had to reflash the Vbios and use DDU. the problem dont was the temperature max 70°C, the problem was that i dont want to use my gpu chip with an overvolt lol, i dont know if that is safe ... but the chip ran really cool :S so i dont know ... i prefer the basic OC

    how much you raise the core and mem to get this score ? i have the same score on gpu as you using +150 and +400

    FYI there is a BUG with premamod GTX980M 8GB V2 bios.. it throttles after 72c, tested it many times, someone need to post him that.. back to stock bios, no GPU throttle.. +135 rock solid without any volt increase..

    my problem was nvidia inspector ... that thing once is istalled, is like a virus lol
    i have to upgrade my nvidia driver, because inspector imprinted the extreme OC on my driver ... no matter how much times i reinstalled the driver, ddu, safe mode, etc .....
    now i am fine with +150, +400 stock voltage ... the vbios is fine as first day ... the vbios from premamod let all in stock ... only move the thermal throttling to 92°C on my case. thing that is a little bit stupid because my gpu dont get more than 65°C in worst case .... 70°C with the extreme oc :S

    Prema said something else is triggering the throttle, I am not entirely sure. In the meantime I have changed the ac adapter and now use a 330w one. Same thing. My stable clocks with no throttle are 205/350 with 35mv. Once I exceed those I get throttle either on memory bus which goes back to overclocked numbers after awhile or both GPU and memory. It is frustrating as the chip has more potential in it, but I got used to it, I guess...

    I think it isnt getting enough juice from the VRM's. You are reaching the power limit.
