Hello to all! i am to receive my GT725-074 i bought some days ago (i live in Brazil, so it will take a bit of time before i can get my hands on it), i have read a good amount of things about my new laptop but i have some questions about it:

from the experience of you guys it is secure to overclock the GPU and leave it this way?

and what driver is the best to use? i have heard about 9.4 catalyst from ATI being the best at moment, i can overclock directly from it ?

and for temperatures, the right program is temperature monitor?

can i adjust the rotation speed of the fan's ?

and for BIOS / Firmware, what's the best / lastest? how i upgrade it?

sorry for making a lot of questions ^^'.

For the latest BIOS/EC Firmware check the MSi website. upgrade and flash procedure is explained clearly trough a document.
Fan Rotation isn't adjustable, this is controlled by detection by the system temp, the fan rotation is going quicker and faster when needed.
For temp use HW monitor, this will give you real time temps.
OC the GPU is just something personal and you must try this to get the best out of it, but be carefully it's on your own risk and it reading before trying is best and the most important part is go step by step.
