    dont worry about windows experience score.
    its garbage.
    download 3dmark06 and run it then theres ways of imporing that

    and yeah you can overclock you 8600m gs

    okay i tweaked it in rivatuner, but idk if it's an okay setting or not...the core clock is at 561mhz and the shader clock is at 1122 mhz and the memory clock is at 449mhz, are those settings okay?

    well you need to know what your tempertures are idle and gaming with and without overclock

    i would get the the Zalman ZM-NC2000 notebook cooler

    the max this gpu can handle without crapping out is
    700 core
    1500 shad
    500 mem

    my settings are
    680core
    1425 shad
    475 mem

    i recommend to you
    650 core
    1350 shad
    460 mem

    until you get a cooler also what games will you be playing i can help you optimize your gpu for quality will holding good fps
