    ARe these clocks too high?

    3DMark fails to go through the first stage at these clocks; the temperatrue doesn't reach 90C on the GPU, but I immediately see what looks like artifacting (screen goes black, multi-colored polygons) and the test fails.

    FurMark, however, runs just fine.

    Should I be worried?

    No, actually. I don't.

    Also: oMark power level is over 9000.

    What voltage are you using at those clocks? What is the temperature in the room? Are you using your laptop on a desk or on a cooler?

    Theeeere we go.

    Room temperature is 76F. Standard voltage, of course. You of all people should know you can't undervolt and overclock that high. The laptop is sitting on my table, no cooler. If I can't run my overclocks with my laptop sitting on my lap then I've overclocked too high.


    But like I said, this wasn't a problem brought about by temperature. FurMArk brings the GPU up to 94C without a problem.

    650/1625/900 is way too high for 0.95v.

    What's the maximum then? Would 600/925/1550 be too high?

    I just dropped it to 600/925/1550. Ran 3DMark just fine.
