    Hello everyone.

    I've spend about 35minutes searching the net and primarily this forum for answers, and i found a m17X-R2 OC guide on this forum.
    The guide suggest that its possible to OC your cards to 600/1050, without flashing bios, atleast thats how I read it.
    I tried OC'ing with AMD GPU TOOL increasing Voltage to 1.100 and GPU values to 600/1050, however it never really kicks in effect.

    I tried running a 3dmark06 with no results. After each reboot values reset to standard. Its like if some hidden safety lock steps in and prevents me from performing the OC.

    Anyone who can tell me what im doing wrong, and if its possible to OC without messing with the bios?

    Thanks man

    I believe Mandrake has mentioned in his OC guide that you have to flash the BIOS
