    Hi guys I got the unlocked g46 bios, but I can't seem to overclock the GTX660m for some reason in msi afterburner or NVidia inspector at all. I can overclock my cpu just fine in the bios, but no luck at all with the gtx660m. Does it have to do with newer drivers and is there a trick to clock this higher? The default clocks on my unlocked bios for the GTX660m is 1006/2500.

    You need to be more detailed about what happens. Are the sliders greyed out or do they just reset?

    They do not reset. I can slide them but when I click apply, nothing happens, the clocks simply do not change. I had to resort to using nvidia inspector and forcing p state.

    Have you tried using nvidia inspector to target a different Pstate to see if its locking itself to a lower power level?

    Hello, I also have this exact same issue. I have an unlocked bios and my default speeds are 1250/2500. I am able to use the sliders on programs like MSI Afterburner and Nvidia Inspector to increase my speed and when I hit apply, GPU-Z does tell me my GPU clock has increased. However, when I go to run a benchmark/play a game, the gpu speed never increases to more than the default speed of 1250mhz. I've tried using a different pstate and resintalling Nvidia drivers but nothing works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

    Have you tried contacting the person who unlocked the bios?
