    1.) What kind of PSU does the Asus G74SX have inside? 150w???
    2.) Can the 560m be overvolted/add voltage to the GPU core?

    Most 560m that ive seen OC like a dream and still stay very cool, if we can raise the core voltage on the GPU then we should be able to really push past the 950mhz cores ive been seeing.

    2) No, same as with the 460m, the VBIOS doesn't allow any overvolting. (Unless the G74 version is different than the VBIOS I've seen)

    Probably the same as the G73, so it would be a 150W, everything else would be weird.
