    hi im not sure if this thread has been started already, but im helping my friend overvolt his new kepler gtx 660m, and since its relitively new programs like nvflash and nibitor do not support it at all, do you guys know of any other programs that could be used to mod the vbios and then flash it?

    thanks, and dont lecture me about the dangers of overclocking and overvolting, i know what im doing.

    This G75VW is a bit different to the G73JW, nvflash doesn't seem to find or read the EEPROM, so I helped OlMightyGreek to obtain the vbios through extracting from the BIOS using MMTool. Now he's waiting for the MVKTech guys to undervolt the vbios: http://forum.notebookreview.com/asus-gaming-notebook-forum/669939-asus-g75-rog-modding-tuning-clocks-temps-etc.html#

    For flashing it back in, you might want to try replacing the vbios inside the bios usiing MMTool and flash the bios using aflash2 or ezflash with a fat32 usb stick as the current nvflash can't find or read the EEPROM.

    So the 660M can be overvolted? Very Nice.

    were not sure yet, and due to the new gpu boost, modding the vbios and even simple overclocking could become very complicated, and unstable. imagine you overclock the card to stable clocks and then it decides to turbo past those clocks, and crashes the display driver during a game... major issues.
