    Has anyone overclocked past stock (550/950/1375) settings for an Asus laptop? It appears anything over this is unstable as the voltage is locked at 0.95. I tried using Nibitor but the max voltage allowed under the "extra" setting is 0.95. Any suggestions on how to increase it?

    what do you mean by "unstable"? games crashing, artifacting, driver lockups? any indication that it's even slightly over? it could be a dud card. mine only goes up to 590 on the core, whereas i've seen people able to hit 630+.

    only way to change voltage are with NiBiTor + VIDs, or edit the .95 value by hand in hex (4B 49 20 06 02 04 is the header you look for, separation of 4bytes, next 3 should hold the value). no guarantee the VRM's will accept it, don't understand them.
