    I have not been able to properly force an overclock and set the fan speed on this 15" MBP with the 6750m GPU.

    The fan should go up to around 5000 or 6000 RPM's and even in OSX I was unable to get it to force a high fan speed for more than 5 seconds, in Windows I can't even do it.

    Any ideas/tips/etc? Thanks in advance for any help.

    I've Tried:

    ATI Tools
    MSI Afterburner
    Speedfan
    Lubbo's Fan Control

    ATI Tools lets me set an OC value but it doesn't seem to stick but in either case I don't want to OC without forcing full fan because the MBP gets hotter than any laptop I've ever owned, most likely because the bottom is aluminum :)
