    Steveoh,

    I've heard of 8700M's being o'ced after some tricky uninstall/install/uninstall/driverclean/boot_in_safe_mode/install process.

    I personally think its just pot luck right now whether or not you will o'c a 163.xx driver install... very few are succeeding.... and i don't know if its with X205's.

    Do you know the Rivatuner 2.04 workaround? In power user -> rivatuner\nvidia\overclocking set ShaderClockRatio to -1.

    This will allow the shader clock to increase (at the factory default ratio) with the core clock.

    That is, of course, if you can get o'clock to stick!!
