Disregard, my previous question about applying the settings.  It did not take before, but after rebooting, the settings stick when I hit apply now.

Just move overclocking sliders to right side in Nvidia Inspector, and then click "Apply Clocks & Voltage".

Ok, should I see the values stick after clicking "Apply Clocks & Voltage" ?

Below are the values I adjusted the sliders to, but when I click the apply button the settings clear and the defaults are shown again.

Is that normal?

Before clicking apply:

After Clicking apply:

However, when I startup Afterburner and adjust the settings, I do see a difference in the Fire Strike tests I am running to gauge the difference in the settings.

Forgot to mention, I can also readjust the Temperature values if a wider range/higher cap will work better for the overclock.

Hey, not sure why my stock rom I pulled from my card cannot be modded, but the last one I uploaded was the original rom that came with the card prior to me backing it up and then installing the Clevo vbios from techpowerup.

I then decided to compare the two side by side via Maxwell II Bios Tweaker and the settings on both were identical.  So there was no real benefit of using the Clevo rom over the stock one my card came with.

So I went back to my original Rom and made some adjustments via the Maxwell II Bios Tweaker, and now the card seems to be running stable.  Now that I am stable, should I only have to adjust the "Base Clock Offset" and the "Memory Clock Offset" on the "Overclocking" panel to get at least a modest overclock/performance boost?

Ok, what about my stock vbios rom?  can something be done with that?

Hey @Klem, thanks for the response.  Is there something about this particular card/vbios that prevents you from being able to mod it?  Just curious.

Hey Klem,

 I have an HP Elitebook 8770w with a GTX970M.

I would get constant black screens and freeze ups with default MSI vbios, so I loaded a Clevo vbios and made some tweaks to the clocks and volts and now its a little more stable, but I still get black screens and freeze ups daily.  I am definitely no expert in vbios modding, so I am hoping you could take a look and provide a modded vbios for this card with your recommended tweaks.

I have attached a copy of my vbios and a screenshot from NVIDIA Inspector.  Let me know if you need anything else.  Thanks!

Hey All,

Been wondering around on NBR in search of info and advice for my old workhorse, the "Elitebook 8770w" but then stumbled upon this site.  Now that my kids are old enough to be interested in computer, hardware, tweaks, upgrades, etc. we are expecting to learn a lot from all the information you folks have compiled here and hopefully in time be able to contribute back to the community with what we have learned.
