    So i used MSI Afterburner to overclock it to 730/1460/1050,didnt max it as i didnt wanna burn my lappy. After around 3 hours of skyrim, the max temp for the gpu is 75degrees is that fine ? Note im in SG and the weather here is pretty hot, and my older cooler broke, so any good coolers to recommend ?

    I can recommend the Cooler Master Notepal U2 (2 fans) or U3 (3 fans), the good thing for it is you can move/adjust the fan around to suit the vent.

    I use EVGA Precision, and I set the profile when using 2D program/idle to OC it to 600/1200/900, 3D program/Full load 850/1700/1080. I use an unlocked VBIOS so that why I can OC it pass 750/1500. The avg temp is between 50C ~ 78C for the 850/1700 and 45C ~ 55C for the 600/1200. For that high OC, I think you definitely need a cooler, and since I live in a cool temp country (NZ), the room environment tend to stay cool. However on a Hot day, the temp can sometime jump up to 85C max.
