Need a "How to" step by step to OC 680m

OK, I have a clevo 170EM, with a new 680m (gg 7970m you pos), and I tried looking for an in depth guide on OCing the 680m, both ways. ( flashing the vbios and how to do that, and then the easier way or just OCing it via MSI). I kinda want to safer way first, then maybe flash the vbios and have it adjust the voltage to. I'd like the card to last( considering my 7970m lasted just over a yr and didn't OC that, but that was my mistake of going with amd), so I'm no looking to push it to the max.

Any help would be great. Should get my laptop back soon with the new card, and can't wait.

 

Follow the instructions to flash an appropriate unlocked vbios to your card: NVIDIA Kepler VBIOS mods - Overclocking Editions, modified clocks, voltage tweaks

After that, use nvidia Inspector or a similar tool to set positive (or negative) offsets on clocks and voltage. Be vary careful with this. nVidia doesn't OC like AMD, you don't just enter the desired frequency.

 

Perfect, thanks a lot.

Now, anyone have the info for ocing it on the stock bios? Unless I skimmed over it in the thread linked, since its hard to read it on my phone.

 

It's not usually worth it since after about +50mhz or so the clocks will start to oscillate wildly and kill performance.

 

You can't OC much without a vbios flash. Flashing with SLV bios is an OC itself. I recommend you to try it.

 

Yea, I'm gonna go the vbios way, just need to take my time and not screw it up. Hopefully I'll have the PC back within a month or so.

 

Once you put the oc bios on its all via software again.
