    So, I've written a couple of guides about really trying to squeeze the most performance out of your laptop.

    The first one is about basic tweaks you can do from the Windows 10 GUI, here (with pics): http://www.ultrabookreview.com/10156-how-to-tweak-your-laptop-p1/

    The second guide is about using ThrottleStop and NVIDIA Inspector + task scheduler to undervolt and overclock, here (with pics): http://www.ultrabookreview.com/10167-laptop-undervolting-overcloking/

    I'm particularly interested in if you have any comments on the second guide. While I've been having mixed success with nvidia inspector to reliably get overclocks to stick on resume from low-power states. nTune works for the memory, but I can't get it to work on the clocks-- but it is better at applying clocks automatically on resume from sleep.
