    Hey guys, I recently purchased a Lenovo Y50 (8GB ram, Nvidia 860M 2GB) and am looking to achieve the highest performance possible with this hardware.

    I've read a little about the options for overclocking the GPU and permanently enabling TurboBoost mode to achieve the 3.6ghz "Turbo" speed constantly, but am not really sure how to go about it currently. I've been reading about the requirement for an upgraded/modified Bios to achieve higher video clock speeds. Apparently someone/some group of people were working on a modified Bios specifically for this system, but as of yet has not been created or I am just unable to find it!

    In this case, what options are available to me, and is anyone here running a decent setup that can share some information?

    EDIT: Also, I know there is a Y50 owners thread with loads of information, however it's quite the task to tackle a thread with more pages of information than there are days in the year! haha
