    Hi,

    I've seen some ppl overclocking their 980m GPU's.
    I have my 240 WATT power supply.

    I Have AMAZING temperatures. always below 80 and never reached max fan speed yet (only once when I updated my bios to A02 when I got my laptop, by system override, not that the laptop was hot).
    Also this temperature result is after I fixed the CPU throttling!! So it's with complete with intel turbo boost enabled.

    So I have some room for overclocking, but wanted to see your guys results firsts to find a good overclocking value. Also my GPU it's memory clock shows default 1253MHZ however when actually used it boosts to 2500MHZ, so When I overclock the memory clock, what happens to that boost?

    Thanks in advance

    With a bump to 1.1v core voltage and with no vmem mod I run at 1266/1450 (boost clocks) for my sli setup.
