Hey, J95, in the picture that you posted above, for the HWiNFO fan control, I'm curious to know what settings you used. Can you help me pls? I dont think my cpu fans are customized nor is my gpu fan optimal. I read through a lot of this thread to get educated about it, but I cannot come to a final conclusion. HOW TO: Monitoring CPU and GPU Temperatures In-Game/In-Benchmark with On-Screen Display

This is a screen shot I took when I noticed that the temps were 76C+ @stock overclock and auto fan. I left it there for like 10 mins. This is on ultimate settings. [ATTACH=CONFIG]9241[/ATTACH] I also rotated the camera so the hair took up >50% of the screen. Does anyone know why this hair setting use up so much resources and put so much stress on a gpu?

Hey, I have an interesting thopic. Maybe some people figured it out already, but I'm just putting it out there. So, to install the 780m GTX in Alienware laptops that pre-date the new 2013 lineup, we need to disable the integrated gpu right. So in the event that we're running on battery, we will not be able save as much battery life as we would if we were running the intel HD 3000/4000 right? Does it make sense to undervolt/ underclock/ whatever, while on battery in an effort to save battery life?

Lara croft is so hot, she raises my gpu's temperature to borderline, HAHAHAHHAAAHAHA!

It was like 70C-mid 70's (I didn't play for that long... maybe 15 mins but that hair setting made a big deal tho), and depending on what was going on in the game, it was more... On stock overclock with no overvolt, its in the high 60's - low 70's with the hair setting on ultimate. If i angle the camera so that the hair is exactly in front the screen. WOAH! The temps go up crazy. I have the fans controller on, so its keeping the temps down. But on the auto fan, I've seen 78C with the stock overclock when I leave the hair in the screen up close........ that was before i flashed the gpu... That's in Tomb Raider btw, lol At stock overclock with no overvolt, if i have ultra setting (normal hair setting) and tessellation off, i see like 62C. Tesselation on bumped it up to like 65C EDIT: This is a screen shot I took when I noticed that the temps were 76C+ @stock overclock and auto fan. I left it there for like 10 mins. This is on ultimate settings. I also rotated the camera so the hair took up >50% of the screen.

I decided that I will leave it on 985/6000 @ stock voltage for now... The extra 22 MHz along with the +0.0125V will come into the picture with more demanding games maybe. I'm the most paranoid person on the planet when it comes to these things :/

WOAH!!!! HELPS A LOT! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I didn't really know much about this overclocking limitations. That really explained a lot "...adding extra voltage could potentially shorten the useful life of your GPU..." I did not know that....*sighhhhhhhhhhh* I'm using 0.0125V extra... I'm also testing with tomb raider. I have the hair setting on the higher state. That shoots up the gpu temps instantly.

I have 327.23 driver and it crashes with stock voltage and the +157 MHz offset - - - Updated - - - ok, 985(+135)/6000(+500)stock voltage is stable. 1006(+157)/6000(+500)stock voltage is unstable. 1006(+157)/6000(+500) +0.0125V is stable. is that safe? the pic of the ASIC above is the +157/+500/+0.025v

oh, srry, i actually couldnt find that. where is it? EDIT: Found it - - - Updated - - -

Thanks! Actually, I don't mind it. I thought it would be like a picture or something. It's neat and decent signature. I think I'm gona load up that bios today Just a quick question tho, if i flash the new bios into the card, will i need to re-install the nvidia drivers? or do I have to uninstall the drivers before I flash the bios or it doesn't matter? Note, I'm terrified of bricking my gpu. Took me MONTHS to save for that the gpu and cpu The vbios i need is from this second post right? http://forum.techinferno.com/general-notebook-discussions/1847-nvidia-kepler-vbios-mods-overclocking-editions-modified-clocks-voltage-tweaks.html The one that says " Nvidia GTX 780m - 'OC edition' - rev02.zip (127.0 KB, 277 views)"

My bad... =( i rolled led my drivers back to 327.23 anyways. The 331.40 was giving me trouble and I bf4 was too laggy anyways. I heard that the the beta is smooth like butter on windows 8.1 and people confirmed almost double the fps when they upgraded from windows 7 - windows 8.1... I however refuse to upgrade to windows 8 just for one game

No, once u have the modded driver, just install it like u normally would.
