    I have been getting lock-ups with 690/925/1750. Not all the time but often enough that it pisses me off. What clocks do you game on that's stable and don't mention stock clocks.

    Right now I'm running 670/955/1730. I can push it to 698/988/1798 (mormegil's clocks, don't know how he got those numbers) pretty easily right now, as I'm in a decently cool room on a nice cooling pad. I'm on a 7811 though, and I've heard the 512mb 9800m can be pushed harder than the 1gb version. What are your temps at those clocks?

    I run my p7805u @ 716/900/1800. These are absolutely my best OC settings after MANY hours of testing with different games that are alternatively dependent on GPU efficiency.
    Check out all my vids on www.youtube.com/androsforever to see how my large list of games run @ 1920x1200, usually on maxed settings :)

    Edit: Oh, and I never go above 75 degrees Celcius GPU temp in-game :)

    85 is still safe but too high. You need to clean the exhaust. And get a cooling pad if you don't have one. Don't expect these kinds of laptops to run cool by themselves.

    I'm running 720/1005/1950 on my P7811FX with Zalman NC-2000 cooler at max speed. And at max settings gameplay temp is 65 degrees celcius or near that....

    I guess my reply didn't post. SeektheTruth, you could probably lower you Shader clock by quite a bit without any noticeable fps hit. Pushing it too far past 2.5x the core clock doesn't really do that much.
