    hello, im new in this forum and i just want to show you my results after OCing my video card...
    Tell me what do you thing, pleaze :D

    Im using Ati Tray Tools for de OC, the original speed values were 432 on GPU and 392 on Memory...
    After a long run of testing i got 526 on GPU and 454 on Memory

    What do you thing about this results, are good, bad, or what?
    I didnt notice a great change in performance, i got like 850 points in 3DMark06 before OCing and 1100 points after... is that good? xD

    Just watch your temps while gaming. That is the main issue.

    well, the gpu temperature doesnt exceed the 71 °C in games like Gears of War or Crysis, i think its ok that way..
    that means that can i OC a little bit more until I reach a high temperature?

    Try to keep your temperatures below 90 C and you'll be fine

    Even if the temperatures are below 90 C you will shorten the lifespan of your laptop. This is something you should also be aware of. Temperatures higher than 90 will most likely instantly kill your laptop, but lower will also hurt it.

    I won't get passed 75. Refuse. Have had my system since December and not even as much as a spike above 75C. Of course, I downclock when I'm not gaming.

    Well to be completely honest, 300 3Dmark improvement wont be quite noticable.

    I jumped from 2700 to 3700

    450/650--> 600/731

    I got results.

    Maybe atleast 10~+ fps in Counter Strike Source
    and like 15+ fps in Crysis


    Yeah its pretty crazy but i love it :) just watch temperatures and dont go crazy with OCing.

    And again, I always recommend returning to stock clocks when not in use.
