    Ok i got ntune to work since i installed the new laptopvidio2go drivers. My gpu temp at idle is 65 degrees celcius. This seems really hot for idle i havent tested games out yet as i dont have time right now. It seems that in the control panel i can overclock my card :) But some people say u cant with a dell? But it lets me change the core bus and the memery bus? The stock settings are 375 core bus and 507 memery bus. In the nvmoniter it shows the bus as 506 but that doesnt seem like a big deal.

    Edit-wtf k now for a bit it showed clock speeds at 100mhz down from 375 and 507 and that also changed the temp to 51 degrees c? Is this supposed to do that to cool it or what?

    Yes thats to save energy. The powermizer does that. Your gpu has settings on to how much to clock depending on how big the load is.

    You can easily overclock nVidia GPU's since they have their own BIOS. Software (using nTunes, RivaTuner, etc.) and BIOS/Flash based OC will both work.

    Generally what people are referring to when they say "OC'ing Dells", they are referring to OC'ing the CPU, which is locked down by Dell's proprietary BIOS system.
