Nvidia Enables laptop overclocking again after critique
An interesting post was spotted on the GeForce forums. Nvidia Enables laptop overclocking again after a bucket-load of critique. You need to read carefully though as it states that only certain models will allow it.
In a new driver release Nvidia will enable it again, that driver release however is next month. if you already like to use overclocking for your laptop, you can use the 344.75 driver.
Nvidia:
As you know, we are constantly tuning and optimizing the performance of your GeForce PC. We obsess over every possible optimization so that you can enjoy a perfectly stable machine that balances game, thermal, power, and acoustic performance.
Still, many of you enjoy pushing the system even further with overclocking. Our recent driver update disabled overclocking on some GTX notebooks. We heard from many of you that you would like this feature enabled again. So, we will again be enabling overclocking in our upcoming driver release next month for those affected notebooks.
If you are eager to regain this capability right away, you can also revert back to 344.75.
Well ...

Gosh, most gaming laptops have good cooling systems - also, some people like me, are not everyday home, so my laptop is my main gaiming system and I can make its FANs sping 100% so, the temperatures are "ok" for a laptop.
Stop with those stupid "will burn your laptop" jokes - most people does the same in a damn cellphone (miss good old TI OMAP: 800 @ 1.4).

^This...
I have a Sony in my shop due to the system shutting down while gaming. This problem has been caused by a poor and inadequate cooling design. After disassemble I found this little dinky heat sink that is supposed remove heat from both the i5 and GT 330M GPU. I have after a slight modification and applying AS5 been able to get the system stabilized and no it longer powers off during gaming. But will recommend to my client to game sparingly on this Sony.
Question for the guru's, need help getting this system to play a game without pausing briefly for a second. Makes playing games on this horrible. I suspect GPU damage but who knows.
The system has 4GB of ram, 1GB dedicated VRam and 2 128GB SSD drives in RAID0.
Now people are free once more to melt their poorly cooled mobile processors once again. Rejoice around the burning camp fire that was once your laptop.
IMHO a Gaming Laptop is still an oxymoron... But some people travel a lot and its their only choice to play games in the hotel in the evening... In that scenario higher noise, additional fans, and cardboard air tunnels are not a problem 
Some men just want to watch the notebooks burn.
