    Hello,
    I have a Asus G74SX and i wanna try to overclock my GTX560M.
    The maximum i could get was 930/1880/1550 (i believe that i can get more on the memory clock, but not on the core), i could run the 3dmark with this, without problems, and good temps, but when i tried to play BF3 the game crashed when playing for like 5/10, i tried some times and it only crashed when i had the oc on.
    Can I get better results? Unlocking the gpu voltage would help me? How can i do this?

    Svet's vbios tool is what you want on most cards it allows adjustment of voltages

    That's a good overclock for a 560m, i dont' think you're gonna get much better on stock voltage

    The GTX 460M and 560M cannot be pushed further for voltage. I've tried on mine and seen that both are locked. No voltage can be added. :(

    But I say back off on the core to around 900mhz and push the memory as high as you can get. Run Vantage three times and if it's stable on the third time around with a similar score to the first, off by only a few points, and your temps are reaching normal gaming levels, you're stable.

    Post the score too. I hit 750/1500/3200 on my 460M and match a 470M now. :D

    Thanks, i will try it, just one more question.
    I'm using msi afterburner to overclock, and the maximum memory i can set is 1625, is there any way to unlock or maybe another software?
