[wer2was]

Hi my system is called "G53SW-SZ152V"

I like to get the max. Power from my videocard GTX 460m 1.5GB

I think i have all tools but i need a person, which has this system and describe

like a tutorial (step by step) what is to to.

And it has to run stabile! So that the fan speed is on limit but it cools enough that i could use the systems over hours...

thanks for help =)

Download nvidia inspector from http://download.orbmu2k.de/download.php?id=51

run it and click the "show overclocking" button
click on "unlock max" button

Push shader clock to 1560 and memory clock to 1500, this should be stable for every GTX460M, then increase a bit the clocks like 20 mhz at the begining, a bit less later, run a intensive 3D application/ a recent game for some minutes if it doesn't crash/doesn't recovery driver, increase the clock again, test it and so on ...
Once you get problem/crash, lower the clocks to ~20mhz lower and stay with it ( there is button that allows you to create a shortcut for acceding directly to your custom frequencies )

That is the quick method for overclocking, of course you can adjust shader/memory clocks independently and by lower steps but this will take a long time.

For reference I run stable at 1566 memory / 1620 shaders but you will most likely get different clocks.

Make sure to keep an eye on your GPU temperatures as well. If they go above ~100 while gaming turn your clocks down.

Along with temperature, if you start seeing graphical errors such as mis-colored objects, strange shades, etc. (known as artifacts), immediately turn down the clocks--these artifacts can mean you are damaging the card.
