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 ...

Reasons of GPU damaged for notebook:
- Overclock easily damages GPU due to the space too bit or to the lack of space and to the mini-fan;
- Maximum GPU tempurature exceeded (eg: case is 100% closed, summer...);
- Overvoltage;
...
Please don't post garbage, over voltage does or(and) high temperatures, not overclocking.
Not well!!

There is an simple solution to cooling an overclocked laptop, put the laptop into an vat of liquid nitrogen and play games that way, but watch out for your fingers thou, LOL. I do have an Zalman fan cooled laptop cooler for my only laptop that I have.

All these people being hypocrites.
People buy notebooks, they bought it for whatever hardware is in them. They have all the right to do with them as long as its legal. They could jizz on them for as long as its legal and yet some people still say; "hurr durr but it damages your notebook"
And so ****ing what? Its their choice.
Jizz is fluid damage, so nvidia (or the notebook manufacturer) isn't responsible for replacing it.
Overclocking is harder to detect, and if it isn't detected then as long as the product is under warranty, the chip can be replaced. Nvidia doesn't feel like getting flak or paying for replacements because people decide to kill their chips.
Anyway, the ONLY reason I think gaming laptops are worth considering is if you do tournaments and you can deal with reduced graphics settings. Actually, lowering graphics is better for serious gamers, because aside from not having any significant lag, objects are much easier to see. I'm not a hardcore gamer by any means but I intentionally turn off depth-of-field whenever possible because it makes potential threats nearly invisible.

For tournaments people bring an SSD with fresh install with their drivers/game settings so you dont have to bother when playing on other pc.
Anyway playing games on laptop is forbidden if you can't afford a cooling pad. Ofc you can force it but seriusly hitting keyboard 80-100*C is kinda idiotic
