    I have been trying to look around for threads that explain exactly how to overclock a sager np9130 with a m670. Can someone provide links for this and maybe some suggestions for software and what settings to set the GPU at since we can't OC the CPU on these computers.

    Thanks

    Oh, you mean 670m. Just get Nvidia inspector and use that.

    Ha! I've been calling it m670 since I got it. No wonder I wasn't finding anything on google!

    What settings do you recommend for this board?

    Each card has their own individual tolerance so yours will be different then someone else's even if its the same model. The best way to do it is by small increments and be careful because if damage is caused it not covered under warranty.

    Yes thank you for the warranty advice, but there are standards that are where most people work and OC their cards. Or atleast a starting point and moving on from there.

    That's more what I am looking for then the slow step by step increase with no known thresh hold for mins and maxs.

    Thanks

    So stock speeds are 597mhz for the GPU clock and 1500mhz for the memory. I have been reading that the 670m can be OCed to about 20% higher and run close to the stock settings of the 675m.

    What speeds are people clocking their cards at to achieve these 20% gains?

    Well, it's actually simple math. Take your stock clock of 597 multiply by .2 (20%) and this should give you the rough idea of where you can go with your overclocking.

    It should come out to about 716Mhz for your core clock....but I believe we actually had ours at 720Mhz.

    Good luck and don't fry it. It is a good idea to remember how to reset back to stock clock settings. It should also be noted that all graphics cards are not created equally, so if someone was able to get up higher and you can't reach the calculated clocks I have posted, there is no reason to believe your card is faulty, it just wasn't made equally to other cards.

    Oh god what a laugh I had there :D m670 hehe.

    Heihachi has it all correct alright.
    - but do keep in mind that having a cooler might put yourself on delusions as the temps will seem lower than they should be..
    -- watch out not to brick it either as overclocking DOES cut the lifetime by a small margin .. (or so we are all told!)

    all the luck to you and your OC fun on your m670 :p haha
