    Got over 13000 in 3dmark vantage. But i bet i could go higher since it was absolute stable and temps were at max 62 C of the GPU.

    Yes im using a modified VBIOS integrated in the A03. I got even higher versions that run stable but i dont need better performance since im not playing demanding games at all.

    But with this mod i can turn off turbo and still have better gaming performance than people without the modded Bios + my temps are 3-4 degrees lower.

    For example :
    turbo on with mod + OC = 13300 score 3dmark vantage CPU temp max 78 C
    turbo off with mod + OC = 12200 score 3dmark vantage CPU temp max 74 C

    Without the mod i could barely OC to a score of 11500..

    note: im using a selfmade notebook stand without cooler and repasted the CPU and GPU with good standard TIM.

    Check signature, the 650M is supposed to OC to 1200MHz if done correctly
