    Alright so I downloaded MSI Afterburner to OC (I have used MSI before) and one it isn't displaying my driver version (latest drivers from Nvidia) and two it only lets me adjust the sliders for Core Clock and Memory Clock...

    Since voltage control is locked by BIOS, you can only so much as OC core and memory clock.

    You can't adjust the voltage nor the fan speed. The shaders clock with the Core Clock so that slider won't show up either.

    Yes you can adjust the shader, if you have use the program before you should notice that between the Core and Shader slider there sort of a box in between, I'll post a picture up showing that box because it is hard to describe and a picture's always worth thousand words ;).

    The picture above is taken around a year ago when I first OC this lovely GT555M. Once you unchecked that box, you will be able to slider that Shader up, you can also enter the number straight if you didnt know, by click on the number box then type in the number then hit enter and they click on Apply, it will OC to that clock.

    Like you said, that was a year ago. Which means that it was probably an older version of After Burner. The Latest version doesn't show the shader at all. Here's a pic:

    Ah I see, so it changed, because like I have state in the post, it was taken around a year (1y 2weeks specifically :)) ago. I think the reason might be since it is will be ignored by most user, they remove the ability completely to save space then.

    *I remove the picture because the pic is larger than 500px.
