Overclocking G551JW with GT960M

Piro
Level 7
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?

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


i merged .209 with .202 vbios but i think the gpu is throttled when it reached 75 degree, on furmark the max gpu temp never exceed 75 degree, any idea? or should i use the .202 only and no merging

Read the thread and wanna say congrats to nice results and progress.
Would also do a huge shoutout to Voltground, he´s the one if u need advice or create new bioses and much more.

Sadly I cant play with u big guys using 980´s, Im stucka with a 660m haha.. Allthough I´m running 1410 core and 1500 memory at 1.2V
reaching over 4000 points in 3dmark11 and allmost 15k in 3dmark vantage.

Keep up the good work!!

I can't modify the GPU Clock Offset. Any suggestion?
This is just a gaming nickname...

Can someone help me? I whant to change temp. on GPU from 78 to 89...
