All I want is to keep the temps in the 80s, soon as it hits the 90s it starts to throttle.

 

When I bought the 880m it cam with a heatsink, not for the GT70 but it came with one. they looked to be about the same thing, 3 copper pipes leading to a vent.

The stock GT70 heatsink is slightly larger than the one the 880 came with looked more like one for a CPU than a GPU

 

I looked it up though and MSI did make a special heatsink for the 880m, it has a thermal bridge, so ill have to buy it.

 

 

Okay I will do that, I always use DDU when I install drivers.

 

Any particular reason why I want to use driver version 359.06?

 

Also what can I do to keep my temps down.

Okay now I'm having a new problem, I can't get the voltage in NVIDIA Inspector to go back down to stock levels, its stuck at 1.012v and sends my GPU temps to 93C within two minutes of game time?

 

Im trying to set the card back to stock clocks and it wont

 

 

Yeah that's what the laptop came with, ill be ordering a higher one now though

 

I'm using Antec Formula 7 Nano Diamond, and I replaced all the pads.

 

I'm attempting to install a fan control atm.

I did not even know they made a adapter with a wattage greater than 180, learn something new everyday.

 

Well even wit my stable plus 80mhz OC my temps shoot up to 92 C immediately, so I guess there will be no OCing in this laptop oh well

It's a brand new 880M and I had the vRAM oc'd at +150, I was able to get a stable +80mhz core +100mhz vRAM with a +75mV, which according to Inspector brought the voltage to v1.0 exactly, but then the temps shot up to 92c and the card would throttle >.< I turned the clocks off again and the temps went back down to high 70s

 

should I try just OCing the core,? I've read that vRAM oc is pointless anyway

 

I've seen example of people oc'ing this card to 1200mhz core clock, so this is rather annoying that I cant even get a +80mhz OC with out some kinda problem.

Thank Mr. Fox, my card works fine at stock clocks. Runs Witcher 3 on ultra at 30FPS at 72C

 

I tired to up the voltage +50mV and got the same crashes, should I keep uping it?

 

I dont see how when the stock vBIOS lets youOC to +135mhz, Im crashing at just +100

 

Also ill get rid of furmark, thanks for that advice.

I have a GT70 0NC, I recently upgraded from the 670m to an 880M I flashed with Klems Bios from this site.

I was using MSI Afterburner to OC my 670 with no problems.

 

But when I try to OC my 880M with both Afterburner and Nvidia Inspector, as soon as I start a game it crashes to the desktop. I'm only applying a 100mhz OC

 

When it crashes, I get a driver stopped responding kernel error and both Afterburner and Inspector lose the card. 

i.e. Inspector won't open after the crash and gives me a net framework error, and Afterburner says no GPU exists.

 

Thoughts? Do I need to up the GPU voltage in Inspector? What is the safe limit to set it too?

 

Also when I try to run Kombuster, it will only use the Intel Graphics

I'm about to try upgrading my GT70 from a 670m with a Clevo 880m, lets see how it goes.

What WakeUpLate said, also what are you doing that you're worried about the NSA backdooring you? lmao

I used this tutorial to flash my gtx 570m to a 670m and trick my motherboard, super helpful thanks!
