    Hello, I might get my new notebook this or next week and I wonder if anyone already has experience with it in terms of overclocking? I'm looking for some "save" numbers which I can use to permenantly overclock the GTX 560 for the next few years.

    thanks

    There are no "safe" numbers with overclocking. The way chips are binned at manufacture mean that every chip is different. Some may overclock significantly while others may falter on even the smallest adjustment.

    If you want to overclock (not recommended due to the stress it puts on the system), do it in small increments. What I mean is, increment in small hops of 5-10mhz, max. After each hop, verify temperatures and run stability or torture testing. It's the only way to make sure you overclock to stable settings for your card.

    That said, it seems the average overclock is roughly 10% or so.

    Ye well I remember it from overclocking my 9800M GS.. I wasn't able to overclock even near to the numbers that others head.. and in the end I didn't at all.

    Also, just to add on (you probably are aware of these programs already) you can try overclocking with MSI Afterburner which is a popular utility and benchmark with Furmark :)

    Don't forget HWMonitor to watch temps and GPU-Z to verify clocks.

    Yeye I know the overclocking process.. I just thought someone already tried around and could give me some example number of what runs safe & without problems on his system :)

    Your first post is replying to a 3 year old post directed at a member who no longer owns the hardware in question. An interesting choice to be sure.

    It's times like these that I wish thread necroing was a bannable offense (or should at least lead to loss of posting privileges for a week)
