    Enjoy and no responsibility is assumed other than urs ofc :)

    Credits go to svl7, buy him a beer!

    Edit: Managed to get the 660m 20% above max stock oc. (1164 Mhz core, and 1375 Mhz memory)

    Tested on Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Future Soldier
    Aliens: Colonial Marines With SweetFX mod (Look close to E3 demo that they faked :) really good job)

    Unfortunately Svl7 has not modded the vbios for the Y500 yet so still have to overclock using nvidia inspector.

    Oh sorry I took a quick browse through his forum, sorry for misleading. I assumed he has because he's been working hard on it :p

    Fyi y580 owners

    Final Results for my 660m oc is 1230Mhz core and 1375 mhz memory. 300 mhz ends in instant crash, 250 mhz takes a couple of mins before crash. Still a huge improvement!

    The Highest I've seen them hit was about 70-75, the fan does a good job at lowering the gpu temp to 70 though :)
