    This might be wrong place to post this thread but I'm looking for a way to overclock GT 650m gpu. I tried Nvidia Inspector but I don't see the 3rd performance level which is used for OC (according to a guide). So is there any other way to OC? I'm not an expert so any help is appreciated :)

    ..Use MSI Afterburner. Just be careful with the memory chip timing(or the ram clock). And stay away from the bios mods if you don't have time to do repastes, or know how to add some extra cooling, that sort of thing. Otherwise, not much risk involved.

    i7 overclocking is not for the faint of heart. But you can use Throttlestop to control the processor states a bit better, and to enable lower clock-speeds for idle modes. Can save you an hour on battery or so. Avoiding auto-demotes can improve thread response a bit.
