    I've pretty much hit the wall with my OC, but my temps are maxing out at around 72'C. I know that adding some voltage will give me some more head room in my OC. I am just wondering how I would go about it, and if i mess up what kind of damage could I do?

    I would be careful, as your machine may not like the added power draw.

    Since the machine can power two 480's I would think you could crank up the power to the 460's until they get too hot or until the power brick starts to cut out.

    The thing is, this machine can't really power two 480m.. Otherwise the psu wouldn't trip.

    Yes, I screwed up. I am considering getting an X7200 and spaced that there are other Clevo's out there.

    No voltage modifications at 460/480M cards with NiBiTor 6.0 => "Error! Wrong table version!"

    I also sent him my 460m BIOS a few weeks ago, but for some reason, they were slightly smaller (size wise) than what he said the BIOS should be. I pulled it using GPU-z about 20 times (literally) and every time that I sent it to him, he said that it was not correct and to use another program to pull the BIOS. Sooo........I gave up ha ha!

    I have similar temps like yours at core815-shader1630-memory1665 and running everything just fine, but it tempts me to overvolt it to see gf106's true potential on a notebook.

    Ah, bad news. I might have liked to overvolt my 460m when it arrives..

    I guess it is a no-go!

    Based on the vbios 70.06.0B.00.01 that SFVogt provided.

    It may raise the voltage from 0.95v(stock) to 1.0v

    Anyone likes to make a test?

    Or provide me latest version vbios, which I could modify for you.

    I will reply.
    The "card" of "graphics card" is not made by a company that you have heard of, and this is what denotes actual ability to run at 1v as opposed to .95v.
    So, it may or may not work depending on your exact card.
