    Nope, I mistakenly linked to the older one; 6.05 is the version you want.

    680/1700/1000 @ 1.03v. Approach it slowly.

    Everyones overclock will vary even if it is the same card. One persons minor overclock could cause you instability and vice versa.

    I have found Arma 2 patched to the latest 1.05 (which adds benchmarks) with the first benchmark to be a great stability test for GPU overclocking.

    If I were you I would not go above 650/1500/950

    That's just asking for trouble

    Can easily be achieved without voltage change

    What real-time performance increase would that give? is it even worth it if your not benchmarking...?

    It helped me quite a bit in crysis. Its good for maxing out a game if you can just barely get there before the overclock

    with Clevos you can change the voltage in NST, without needing to flash the bios.

    Maybe in an Asus, the M15X AP can do 700 core stable w/o breaching the mid 70s for temps. The clevo should be able to do similar.

    I only say 650 to be safe. I can go well above it. I mostly meant not going past 1500 for shader and definitely not past 1000 for ram

    I'm considering upping the GTX 260M Extra voltage to 1.00V from ASUS' 0.95V, hopefully my G51VX won't catch fire.
