    I've downloaded the NVIDIA System Tools and O/C'ed my GT555M to 700/1400/1000 and saved to profile "userdflt.nsu" but after each reboot to my m14x my GT555M returnts to its stock settings even though in the info it says that my current profile is "userdflt.nsu" but my stock ratings are stock, is this a normal thing?

    I've founded the solution by trying, so I will post it here in case if someone will run into same problem.

    Under the performance tab go to Profile Policies and create a new rule with "load this profile: 'your wanted oc profile' -----> and under the condition settings select "The system first starts Windows".

    Even I created the rule, my M14x started to boot up with stock clocks again. What is causing this any ideas?

    You could try MSI AfterBurner instead it has the same that allows you to apply the overclock at startup.

    Cool I've tried MSI and works like a charm.

    I've a question though. After OCing I realized that my clock speeds stay at max 700 all the time. I didnt check this before OCing so was my Core Clocks at 590 all the time before OCing or were they able to decrease according to need? Because if it could change before and now I forced them to be at max all the time that could cause unneccessary heating.

    Yes it was at 590. I would suggest may be creating a two profiles one with the original setting and then one with your overclocked settings, to get the default settings back just click the "reset" button. You now use these two profiles to switch between when you would like downclock the speed back to factory settings.

    Hope that answered your question
