    Is this a good O/C result for 640M in 3DM11?

    Hi guys!
    I decided to give a little push to my card and found those stable O/C speeds:
    Core: 1140MHz
    Mem: 1200MHz
    CPU: i7 3630QM

    Is this result good in your opinion?

    High for now, but I am waiting my CM U2 pad.
    GPU reaches 92-93 , but I have to clean the vent with compressed air, because in the beginning when I got this laptop , the temps were 10 degrees lower on full load

    Depending on how hard it is to access, I'm not familiar with that machine, a repaste always seems to help as well. Nice score!

    Thanks!
    Ir's not easy to access the cpu , but aside from this , the laptop is under warranty and has a sticker on the bottom, so no way to remove without braking it...:/

    why not u3?i today overclocked my 760M and now im running half hour kombustor and gpu max reached 59 and cpu 80 without to active my u3 cooler...i think you should check cpu first..i dont know why i get such low gpu temp..59?but the overclocking of gpu affected my cpu for about 7-8C more..i will tell you how much lower temp i get with u3 fans to max..will post the result here though my thread is also open hehe :)

    I will share once I get it.
    U3 is too big for 15'6" and hardly fit in common bags, I travel a lot and need a compact cooler. ;)

    I find that repastes offer far far far more results than anything a cooler can produce. I have a targus laptop cooler, which does nothing to cool my laptop, sad as that is to say. Repastes can help quite a bit but my laptop seems to just run very hot, it always likes to go towards to 90's under high GPU load nomatter what I try :S

    I think it's time to attempt another repaste soon...

    Simmilar situation with me. I get no effect by adding notebook cooler only my internal fans run slower. Temps remain the same. But not as high as in yout case. Max are around 75ish.

    Laptop coolers are only good for propping up the laptop ready for proper cooling mods. Most people think air blown up against the plastic chassis should do wonders to the temps! Of course not.

    @Mirag_bg, I have the same laptop as yours. Did you overclock the 640m using the default BIOS or did you flash a custom modded one? If you did flash one, could you possibly put a link of where you got it from? A small guide of how you achieved those values would also be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    For most notebooks just putting feet on the back to prop it up so the intakes on the bottom can move more air is the best bet. You can check just by raising the back slightly off the surface it's on during load to see if temps drop.
