    Maybe with your G72Gx since it has more air space to vent out the heat, but the Geforce GTX 260M inside my G51J runs hot as it is, so I don't think I'd be pulling clocks like that anytime soon.

    Is it actually stable during gameplay/testing at those clocks? e.g. crysis or even 3dmark06...

    Umm, I doubt it's stable at 700/1100/1750 MHz. Mine crashes once in a while (rarely, but it happens during Crysis) even at 600/950/1500.

    What about temps? I'm quite sure they're quite high... even notebookcheck.net said that in the review this notebook at stock was toasty...

    I think there is a bug with these cards....
    I have an Asus G51J-3D, and have successfully validated these values:
    techPowerUp GPU-Z Validation mg3x7

    it runs stable... but i don't think they are real... i'll make some further investigations... it can be overclocked by Nvidia system tools, but after a point it just drops to a lower peformance. Gpu-z still reading the values manualy set, but the card doesn't run at those.

    LoL just by looking at this I figured out how it seems to some how be overclocked that high, when i tried going higher then 600/1500/950 on my GTX 260m in my G60vx, I would have the driver crash and then boop the game would come back up and would still be running the same. the only true way to figure out what the clock speed is by a monitoring program like everest and when i say do the overclock to 1000/2500/1320 it crashes and even tho it crashed gpu-z will still show that it is clocked at that because thats what it will stay at in the driver till you reboot the computer, but on Everest it will show me that the card is only clocked at 400/1200/800 no matter what kind of stress i put on it, its like a safety measure so I pull out the BS card and lay it on the table because i think i have an ace in the hole on this one
