Yeah I guess I'll leave them all alone if there's no guide out there. Well I did the flash and everything on the 310.99's I had installed. Did a clean install of the 320.00's and now I'm stuck at 135mhz core, even with 100% load. Weird. Going to try installing the drivers again. Must be the drivers since I restarted after the flashes in the OP and everything OC'd beautifully with Precision, then with 320.00...135mhz.

Everything went splendidly You're the man svl7. So...took a tour of the new BIOS and was just wondering what the TC1 and TC2 settings do if the values are changed? I know better than to change random settings, so, I'm just asking if anyone knows for sure. Because I saw the word 'throttle' in the description...and I really hate that word. I ran ThrottleStop and both cores stayed at 100%, so I don't think it was throttling at all. But if those settings disable it for good then I'd be willing to do it, if anyone knows about them. There was one other setting that looked like it was asking to be changed, but I forgot what it's called now. Would have to do a restart to look again. Basically just wondering if there's a guide to the unlocked BIOS settings. Either way, thanks again svl!

I would think not much can as long as you actually are following the directions carefully. And if there was any major problems with this process I think we would have heard about them by now. So...I'm sure it's fine. Speaking of which...going to start doing mine now. Wish me luck

Ah, I see. So then I will have to do this before updating the drivers, thanks. Didn't read the NBR post I don't think. I don't remember how I ended up here, had so many pages open looking for an answer. Glad I finally landed here But yeah I'd use the P0 state if I could, but I can't get any clock adjustments to stick for some reason. I'll recheck the .bat file. Or just flash and OC normally, like you said. Well, I think I have some decent 650's then. I was locked into the mid p-state and was perfectly stable in SLI at 1050mhz/4800mhz. What are some of the average OCs people get here with their 650m's?

Thank you very much. I seem to have overclocked without the flash though. I don't know if my posts are going to pop up eventually or not, seems like a mod keeps deleting them (they have to be reviewed since I have less than 5). But yeah I just ran 1000mhz core 3dMark11 run and I haven't flashed anything yet. How is that? Is it because I'm using the 310.99 drivers and in order to overclock like this with the 320.00's I have to do the flash in the OP?

Do you have to do this flash to overclock period, or just over +135mhz? I couldn't at all on the 320.00 drivers, so I reverted to 310.99 and still couldn't. But I been messing around with some other guide, using the .bat file / Inspector method, and now I can overclock to anything I want. If I update back to 320.00, will I lose this ability? I didn't flash to the BIOS in the OP yet, so I don't want to go back to 320.00 if it'll mess my overclock up. I ended up doing it by using the parameters in the batch file for Inspector, but it locked me at 400mhz core clock. I overclocked the middle p-state in Inspector and voila, core overclock. Running 960/2400 now. But to OC the memory, I have to adjust the offset in the highest p-state. So...it's kind of weird. But the combined effort of overclocking the core in one p-state and the memory offset in the other allows me to up the 650m to my liking.

The option for this is in the BIOS? I have practically nothing in mine, but I still have the one it came with on here. I'm waiting until my post count goes up so I can download the attachments. But yeah is that option to adjust what temp the fan kicks in in the modded 2.02 BIOS but not the original one?

There's no way to increase the voltage on Nvidia cards is there? I mean...the Lightning after a flash and the Classified with EVbot, but not mobile versions I don't think.

Hello everyone. Just signed up Just bought a Y500 and tried to overclock the 650's about 10 minutes later. But much to my dismay...yeah. So...I tried following the guide in the OP but I can't download any attachments yet. So in the meantime...just wanted to ask...that flash to BIOS v2.02...that's the laptop's BIOS being updated? And it flashed the first 650 to an unlocked BIOS along with it, and then you use nvflash to do the Ultrabay one afterwards? I've used nvflash on my desktop a bunch of times. Just wondering how this process differs, since it seems the guide says to only use nvflash for the second 650 and not the first, if I'm reading it correctly that is (sorry, really tired, and a bit frustrated that Lenovo decided to lock this thing down so much). Thanks for everything you've done svl7, and to anyone else too who can offer me any details on these questions.
