    I OC my 8600m gt ddr3 from 475/700 to 680/880, i think you can probably take your gtx to about that lvl at least.

    Ok, I'll try it out.
    Any other recommended OCs?
    EDIT: Works great. I'll tune the 665 on my card to 620.

    625/1550/950 seems to work fine and the temps do not go over 82C . Which is good in case you want the absolute max power from these cards.

    If you can keep the temps BELOW 80C you should have absolutely NO problem.

    As long as i can keep the temp under 80 right? well, i have a fan under my laptop in a box with a hole, and ice inside the box. it keeps my gpu at a constant 50-60 while playing crysis and overclocked to 600/1500/900
