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.

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 didhow is 69c for a desktop gpu too hot? wth? for a laptop, it's decent temp. lol 69c is too hot...

Yes, like the guy above says, you're talking rubbish there. Temperatures in the 60's & 70's are good for CPUs & GPUs, even the 80's are ok; hell, even AMD's latest reference offerings in the GPU world are DESIGNED to have permanent operating temps in the 90's! I'd generally want to stay away from temperatures in the mid 80's and 90's though.

Hah, the clockdown temp on FX5700 Go was in the beginning 135C, later lowered to 125C on Nvidia drivers. No wonder mine did terminate the contract after 11 months - my OC results with 5700 go are probably still the highest on 3DMark.com.
