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 ...

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
Your computer hardware has to be the same or atleast similar, if you are using your disk on other computer.
I saw people who use external keyboard to avoid burning their fingers ;D And yeah...it's better to avoid buying gaming laptops, unless you don't have an option.

Well This is good news. The reason why I want a gaming laptop is so I can have a decent Portable PC and being able to play my games at my cousin's place. I also agree that is is the user's choice if they want to OC their laptop's GPU let them. There are some gaming Laptop manufacturers that offer OCed Cpus out of the box or you can OC it if ya want to.

All these people saying 'you can't game on a laptop' - go look at 1080p benchmarks for the 980M and 970M.
My 970M can run the original Crysis at 1080p at 55FPS average. A 10% overclock (perfectly possible, I'd expect 15%) would hit the desirable 60FPS average. As for any UT3 based game, it munches them.

And the whole melt your laptop thing.
No, no it won't, if temperatures get too high (which any good gaming laptop will not) it throttles or turns off.

Not 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;
...
In ten years i haven't damaged a single chip just by adjusting oscillation frequency. To make frequency stable usually you have to over-voltage. There are safe spots. Cooling is a must! If you pushing your hardware, because TDP change really fast. So i don't really understand what are you trying to prove here.
