    The 660m on my Y580 is for some reason stuck at 405/800mhz on furmark with the temperature only ever reaching 55C°. I must have accidently messed with a setting or something because earlier it was heating up to 80C°. Does anyone know what might have caused this?

    okay so i went into device manager and disabled and re-enabled the 660m which brought the memory clock up to 2500mhz and the temperature to 65C°, but the core clock is still stuck at 405mhz

    I haven't seen my core clock go above 405 MHz either. Is it supposed to? My Memory clock will bump up to 2500 when it's in use, but core doesn't change.

    I found a couple things over there to try, neither of which worked; mostly just unanswered questions.

    ^this. I spent all day trying different solutions from different forums and completely uninstalled/driversweepered and reinstalled my 660m. This managed to get the clock to spool up to 950/2500 mhz, however it still reads 405 mhz on furmark. Any attempt to overclock at all makes it downclock back to 405/800 mhz until I reboot.

    Also check your setting in lenovo energy management. I noticed that I have to put it on dynamic graphics for any overclock to aply. At high performance it won't go over 835 MHz at all. Maybe you're on a lower setting and it won't let it clock up.
