Hi everyone,
I've been trying to overclock my 765m since release, and, regardless of driver or firmware revision, full-screen games (and, particularly, 3dMark11) cause my core clock to drop down to 405MHz within seconds. However, running a windowed app, such as Furmark, causes no such issues.
Has anyone experienced this? It's clear to me that this card has at least some comfortable overclocking headroom, but I haven't been able to get it to stay. Any ideas or tips would be appreciated!

this may fix your problem -
Really, though? No one else has noticed this? It's pretty obviously something deliberate. I'd be extremely surprised to find that this doesn't happen with everyone's machines. -

Have you tried to undervolt the cpu? this would reduce power consumption and load temps hopefully giving you more head room for the gfx card. I undervolted my 4700 by -100ma with intel XTU and it knocked about 10c off my cpu load temps

So would a 240W PSU work for overclocking? I have one left over from my m15x

Hi All..... I have an ALienware 14 ... can anyone please help me overclock the GPU ??? right now im doing +135/+500 on MSI afterburner with driver version 331.65 ... im getting temps of 71c with discrete mode .. i want to push this further as with this OC i saw a huge improvement in FPS in batman arkham origins ... anyway i can do this by not significantly increasing the temps ?? undervolting the CPU perhaps ?? also, does nvidia inspector work for this driver version ?? Request you all to please upload screenshots of ur OC setup .. thanks a lot

Guys, the 14 isn't power bound. With my 4700 undervolted - 85mV at 3.4Ghz across 4 cores, Gpu @1ghz/5300ghz vram during 3D mark11 power absorption doesn't exceed 99W...measured at UPS Outlet (capable of output 900W). Imho AW team could have stuffed a 770m and the system would have handled both under the power consumption point of view, than the thermal one

I think the 14 is at its thermal limits even at stock clocks. You can squeeze a little with msi afterburner but the small gain you get versus the heat it produces is not worth it in my opinion. I like the the 14 performance, but when you get use tot he 18 with ski 780's and a desktop it starts to show its slight lack of power. It handles BF3 fine and bf4 fine. but I am a performance nut and need higher fps in bf4 so I dropped the res on my monitor a little to keep the setting on high to get my frame rates i want.

The good news is that with the voltage increased to 1.175mV using EVGA Voltage Tuner (part of Precision X) it seems to run fine at 1035/2200 although a bit hotting (getting up to 73 degrees). -
Those are my OC results after flashing SVL's vbios. The GTX765M is much better than Dell let's it be. Take away Dell's restrictions, and it's quite a card. My card only runs at 72C, even at those settings.pathfindercod likes this. -

What kind of voltage do you have to run to obtain those clocks? Played any games with it and is it stable?

Sweet, gonna try flashing my -4 to squeeze some extra percormance. I'm have with my 18 so I'm not going to flash it right now. Just haven't had time
I have 4 big projects going on right now for work that is eating up my spare time.

Any idea what the issue is ? I too have flashed using svl7's VBIOS mod -

Try rerunning 3DMark11 and watch the clock speeds on you phone (if not, you'll need an OSD of the clocks, EVGA Precision does this IIRC). They'll slow down during loading screens (that's normal), but if they ever lower while benchmarking, something is causing it to throttle. Whenever it throttles, check the temps. As temps go up, so do voltage requirements. 1.15V may be stable at 75C, but not at 80C.
Try lowering your clock speeds a small amount if throttling continues. Keep lowering them until throttling is gone and that's your max stable OC. You may have lost the silicon lottery.
Since your results are lower than my runs at +135/+300, I can almost guarantee you're throttling. -
Ur clocks (i.e. +250/+300) work perfectly fine while playing AC4. I have also read in some forums that the heatsink compound takes about a few weeks to months to adjust which can lead to more OC. -

View image: GTX765 M BEST STABLE OVERCLOCK
gtx765m best stable overclock all in one screenshot.
extra answers which are not available in screenshot;
i opened the case and put another 12 volt core 2 quad extreme fan on top of the fan. it is on the hdmi side of the notebook on the back corner, focus your fan on this place, or leafs of fan.
you can never achive 9500 phsics unless you do this.
if you limit your cpu to 3ghz case closed, 3.1 case open you can hit 8400
no easyly available laptop cooler can cool alienware ! just open the case and put it on a higher level than table op put it like a open book to the side with open case.
you can't stop throttling on overclock unless you lower the degree of the chip.
core 2 quad extreme had a bios setting which you disable (actually disable them all) and you can get rid of throttle nightmare
stop using other overclock softwares and flash v bios adding
nvflash -4 -5 -6 biosname
with -4 -5 -6 it force overwrites old bios. in my case it said it is different id so it can't
what i share is a 1 week work please tumbs up!
