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 ...

I see your wealth of facts and external sources to back up what you're saying has convinced me.
My laptop is melting and cannot handle the stress, it's not able to play games either, when I do try to play games it has heat issues and catches fire.
Honestly, I should just give up and get a desktop eh?
What I think you're mistaking is high end products and people not maintaining expensive laptops.

If people want to to melt there poorly cooled and designed laptops/ultrabook THAT ARE NOT DESIGNED to be OC to begin let them. and yes there all poorly designed when it comes to cooling.
Unless you payed arm and leg and even then i find them poorly cooled,
Sure you can get gaming laptop, that could play those game , but there not designed to take the heat that is produced.
I lost count how many laptops/notebooks etc i seen come in with shuting down issue due to heat issue, and they where not used for gaming, and they ranging from 200~3000+ $ laptops, they are not built to take the heat and people want to OC them let them i like have laugh at those people expense
Apart from the fact that I've got an 87% overclock on the core, and a 64% overclock on the VRAM and the temps on my GPU don't go over 69 degC. I guess that's a laptop that can overclock! Been running it like that since Summer 2013, no issues.
I'm pleased Nvidia brought back overclocking. There's hardly any danger in overclocking as long as voltage is not increased, because the GPU's are designed to throttle when they get to dangerous temperatures or to prevent them exceeding TDP.

Why would you want to make your laptop run hotter and kill off even more semen? Strange people...
Ryback Rules!

That is where we differ, 69c for gpu is to hot imo for desktop gpu, forget it for laptop. normal temps for cpu for that mater on laptops are general alot hot hotter then desktop cpu too, which imo to hot. i dont want that kind heat in a small form system.
None of the mater though 90% of all laptops are not ment to be OC simply cause the lack of cooling. nvidia had there reason for doing what they did

That "gaming" laptop listed above has the capability to graphically perform a tick under the performance a DESKTOP GTX 980. $3100 though, but only 6lb, and as thin as a Macbook Pro (I have a 1st Gen Aorus, the heat is fine on them)
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834152707&cm_re=msi_titan-_-34-152-707-_-Product
Has two GTX 980M in SLi which will outperform the Desktop GTX 980, but again $4100, and it's insanely thick and heavy.
Most them have 1 fan at best, and even with 2 heat dispersion will be terrible and it will run hot
And will most likey have heat issue,
