I was always a great fan of Nvidia despite a few fiascos... But their latest move? Not allow me to do what I want with my hardware? If I bought a $1500 over a $1000 because of a colling system, why do you think I did that? Of course, they say it is for our protection, pfft...What a load of crap, clearly holding people from overclocking will create a greater need to buy new hardware for better performance. It's my laptop, my video card, I BOUGHT IT! If I wish to dress up as a mermaid and jump into a pool of koolAid while holding my laptop, that is my bussiness... or will NVIDIA tie me up next time I update my drivers?

So I've owned a G75 in the past with a GTX 660m. Like the 600m the 970m and other laptop graphics chips are limited to 135+ on clock. But given how low temps are on this machine, it can definitely go higher. I used to force PStates on my 660m to go over the limit, and saw a very significant boost. Can the same be done on the 970m? The only other option to overclock over the 135+ limit would be a custom vbios, anyone tested or found anything?
