I have used the Tweek's R us MobileForce XG drivers and overclocked the card to 450/800, now everything is running smoothly and I have no dodgy displays issues and no blue screen memory dumbs etc.<BR /><BR />Would you guys say that this is ok or is it a no no and I should return to default, id really not want to put my laptop under excess heating issues as I dont have £1000 lieing around to buy a new laptop if this one goes wrong!<BR /><BR />Thanks for your replys!<BR /><BR />Adam<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 23 Sep 2006 03:43:03 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-fs415m-gpu-overclocking/m-p/128677#M89762 Eviljaxx 2006-09-23T03:43:03Z Re: Vaio FS415m GPU Overclocking https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-fs415m-gpu-overclocking/m-p/128679#M89763 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I wouldnt take it higher as you proberly only have passive cooling,ie-no fan just heatsink.I cant see any reason not to tweak your system as long as you know its at your own risk and that your hardware will have limitations with been notebook hardware.Decent overclock anyway.<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 23 Sep 2006 03:51:01 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-fs415m-gpu-overclocking/m-p/128679#M89763 frannys 2006-09-23T03:51:01Z Re: Vaio FS415m GPU Overclocking https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-fs415m-gpu-overclocking/m-p/128681#M89764 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Where would I be able to get a fan small enough for the nVidia chipset to fit inside the laptop?<BR /><BR />Thanks for your reply<BR /><BR />Adam<BR /></P></BODY></HTML> Sat, 23 Sep 2006 12:08:23 GMT https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-fs415m-gpu-overclocking/m-p/128681#M89764 Eviljaxx 2006-09-23T12:08:23Z Re: Vaio FS415m GPU Overclocking https://community.sony.fi/t5/pcs-accessories/vaio-fs415m-gpu-overclocking/m-p/128683#M89765 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Buy one of those laptop cooler contraptions <A href="http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1936464534.1159014446@@@@&amp;BV_EngineID=cccgaddillidliicflgceggdhhmdgmk.0&amp;page=SimpleSearchProducts&amp;low_bound=0&amp;up_bound=0&amp;criterion=laptop%20cooling&amp;AtimeStamp=3336448188" target="_blank">here</A> and make sure the room is less likely to be dusty and hot but don't overclock it anymore or you will fry it as franny points out.
