Overclocking G551JW with GT960M

[Piro]

I have unboxed my G551JW, and installed WIN8.1. Then I benchmarked it in old good 3DMark06 (1.2) with latest drivers from NVidia.
It scored about 22500.
Then I've started GPU-Z to check frequencies. After verification of temperatures I decided to tune it a bit.
I've used Asus tweaker. Unfair situation - it crashes the system.:mad:
Ok, I've moved to MSI Afterburner. It works, but overclocking of GPU is locked.:confused: NViddia driver 3.47.25 and newer support GTX960M but lock overclocking and voltage tweaking. BTW if I start GPU-Z together with Afterburner - system crashes reporting error in GPU kernel (nice new blue screen of win8, wow).
So I adapted older driver to be used with GTX960M, with success.
Now CPU (i7 4720hq) is set to 37,36,35,35 instead of 36,35,34,34 and GPU is set from 1097 ->1125 & memory from 2500 ->2900. I added some minimal tweaks on voltage of CPU and GPU (rather psychological effect).
I have tested it with 3DMark06 again. Now almost 26000 (always over 25900). There is no problem with temperature but I want to be sure so now I must replace thermal compound - I have ordered Arctic Silver 5 as internet says so.

I wonder if somebody of GTX860M owners or GTX960M owners (same product IMHO) has some ideas about proper settings?

Guys we have it!
WE HAVE IT!
WE DID IT!
FULLY UNFUKINLOCKED 960m! No more shackles, no more thermal throttling... no more superderp ASUS!

Hi , it has been long time from this forum

Well i see in latest post you unlocked the temperature limit right ? How did you do that ??? can someone guide me to change thermal throttling ?

As I've told in another thread send me PM with your current Bios Dump

guys someone can write his furmark1080p score , with those clocks , in screenshot of EtaCarinaeSC can not see the bandwith diference its just in 82.0 gb/s , is strange , if someone can reply me pls

[Compwxr]

Atm I undervolted my card so I get max 1325Mhz core stable, and it barely reaches 78ºc, Any score would be messed by it, but I can confirm the changes in bandwith 🙂

hi there,

any extra step to reach that 1400mhz clock :-? is it stable on yours, i followed the instructions in this thread and now running at 1350mhz only, thanks

edit: my memory bandwidth is 80 something, how to increase it to 100 like yours

[h3ll4ngel]

I just do everything follow the instructions(unlock VBIOS) , but nothing changes in the number when I check by GPU-Z. PLease help me

[ZIXEL]

that was my old furmark score 8/22
trying to go more , but i abandonned furmark im trying with firestrike now maybe you guys can upload here your firestrike score pls

thanks

You need .202 Bios to unlock mem clocks, or, merge the .209 with .202 vBios
