Overclocking my 660m?

Hey guys I just got a BBK5 model as a gift and it is running really well. I'm running GW2 close to max settings and getting 40-55 FPS, so really satisfied. Borderlands 2 is coming up and I have it pre-ordered, was thinking of overclocking my 660m and was wondering if you guys can help me out? What program should I use? And what are the best settings? Thanks a lot, looking forward to hearing your advice.

Yes, i got it working! thanks! My laptop isn't too stable after 1200 mhz though, wish I could get 1300. You think it's because the voltage isn't enough?

Mine is the same, not very stable after 1200, starts to artifact around 1250 & completely locks up at 1300. I can however push the memory offset to 650 without issue, but crashes at 700.

Certain games don't like the 1200 core clock however, Alan Wake starts playing fine and will lock up a few minutes after playing for example.

Try Lowering The Memory Clock Speed To 2800

damn, I just had a white screen G55
after I OC memory clock +2500Mhz,suddenly white screen
I think the safest clock to add just +1000Mhz
because,I already use MSI Afterburner and EVGA Precision X the max to add the memory clock is +1000Mhz not like nvidia inspector that can add up to +2500Mhz
it's the second time white screen on my G55

Bro, your memory is too high at 1000, that's why. Try 400-500. If I go over 500+ my laptop locks up.

I can help you get past the +135 limit. Basically download nVidia inspector. Use the show overclock options. Go to performance level 5. Hit create clocks shortcut. Then when that shortcut is made on the desktop, right click on it and hit properites. In the target box delete everything past nvidiaInspector.exe" and paste this -forcepstate:0,0 -setGpuClock:0,2,835 -setMemoryClock:0,2,2500 make sure there is a space after the after the nvidiaInspector.exe" ... after that you can set the values you desire. What you wanna change is the 835 and 2500. Know, however, that this forces the performance state and your clocks will STAY at these values until you reboot, or change them then reapply the shortcut.
