    Ok I know there are other threads like this. I searched a lot. Can someone give me EXACT instructions. I am a Desktop enthusiast so I don't have to fiddle with nvidia inspector like I do now. I need instructions starting with how to make the batch file. Any thing I need to download. I have latest drivers and cooling won't be a problem, thanks.

    P.S.- I have a stuck pixel, anyone else solve this issue on the Y580?

    Whatever program you use on your desktop will likely work on your laptop.

    Msi Afterburner or NvidiaInspector are the most common.

    Single stuck pixels can usually just be fixed by lightly pressing on them.

    Here's the problem. I can overclock but only by 135mhz. I don't have that issue on my desktop. People do something to nvidia inspector to extend the clocks higher. I don't know how to do this.

    Can anyone help? All I need to know is how to extend the clock limit.

    Okay I finally figured how to do the bat file. I got up to 1300mhz on 3d 11 getting a score of 3375 on performance.

    Questions:
    Is there a way to make the overclocked GPU down clock to idle speeds?
    Anyway to increase voltage?
    Anyway to make it 24/7, having it boot with the overclock?

    Also how to I go back to complete stock?
