    Is there a vbios editor for changing the throttling temp of the 650m video card on the m14x, to increase it from 68C? Or is this done via a system main bios mod or something? I'm sure someone has tackled this problem before. I can't find any vbios editors that work on mobile Keplers at all.

    Set in the nvidia settings panel in the power management option, prefer constant performance and the clocks will no longer fall :)

    Because the main reason for the drop in performance is gpu boost. By enabling the option prefer constant performance in the nvidia control panel, gpu boost will be turned off and there will be no gpu performance drops.

    Upload a modified bios, it also changes the vbios of the graphics card and thanks to this you can turn up the card up to the maximum, but also the computer works better. After inserting this modified bios, turbo boost has been turned off.
