so im going to get my new power supply, before I initiate I would like to know what you think about the overclocking in terms of how safe is it for this laptop. also, are you using some type of cooling mechanism such as a cooling pad and finally, whats the relation between base clock offset and memory clock? (how should I balance the two)......thanks :-)

ok thanks, just one last thing...Lenovo has stopped the GPUs from using NVidia GPU boost which takes the clocks to 835MHZ, is there some way I can enable that without a BIOS mod. Since Nvidia Boost is better than overclocking, since the former only kicks in when the cards are really being stressed, is there a solution.

:23_002:oh damn...thanks a lot for the heads up.....so which 170W PSU do you have?

upgraded successfully to stock bios v.2.02 after a brief scare but gpus are still stuck at 790 MHZ after increasing the base clock offset by +45 (tried seaparately with both NVidia SLi inspector and MSi afterburner) another thing my laptop came with 120w power supply, will this be enough to clock the gpus to 835MHZ or at the max 900MHZ? Can you please provide me with the guidelines...if its possible without modding the BIOS id really appreciate it coz im scared as hell trying to mess with the BIOS (brand new laptop)...

run DOS as windows administrator...type eccmd<put a space>-info.....it will show you the details....check your used size value and remember it....now run a game...minimize the game and run eccmd<put a space>-info again as instructed...the used size value should increase....if its already at around 14gb(when running windows 8.1 update 1) when you first checked then its working.

is yours the Centrino one?

try the recovery button....were you upgrading to a stock or mod bios?

games that are really open world will....that's why the consoles went with 8....I have a y500 with 650m sli and 16 gb and I feel content knowing I wont run out of memory anytime soon....once dx 12 gets released the minimum requirements for gaming are gonna go down.

after upgrading the BIOS can I run my 650m SLI at 900 MHz.....have you tested it out at this clock?
