    Hey everyone,

    Idk if anyone has overclocked this GPU yet but i recently did using Nvidia System Tools v6.06.

    I set the GPU clock at 740, Memory at 960. I got a 9214 3DMark 06 score and the highest the temp ran at was 70 deg Celsius during the benchmark.

    Ive heard people get it up to 800-1000 but I dont really wanna risk overheating the laptop since i dont use a cooler as of right now.

    Lemme know what everyone gets and if you could, post the benchmark scores.

    Not sure the highest reaches of this GPU, but you would for sure want to use a cooler or apply IC Diamond if you have not as of yet. That could really take its toll on that GPU if you do not.

    I am using a stable overclock of:
    725 Mhz core, 1450 mhz shader, 960 Mhz memory
    this is 6 months now, havent had any problem whatsoever, i am also using the gpu for running CUDA programs so its completely stable, as those are the most vulnerable to instabilities and crash on the first sight of trouble.
    And i am able to use up to 775 mhz core, but that is the highest i am able to go, after that artifacts start to appear.
