    How should I set my 940xm in Throttlestop so that I get the same effects as having 5% factory OC enabled in the BIOS? I hate it that every time the computer goes to sleep, I lose my OC and it goes back to default clock speed.

    I have tried bumping several old threads with my problem, but have yet to have anyone respond. What I'm really looking for is a good every day gaming OC LIKE the BIOS OCing, but without the reset to stock on every sleep.

    You could always just set the multis in throttlestop to 26x which would give you the equivalent of the 5% OC.

    Then at least when you resume from sleep it will retain the OC
