I hope this helps.

Thanks for replying..
I think i got a problem my cpu fan only spins when needs cooling and the gpu clocks remain high all the time even when not doing anything..

so i wanna know that is this normal and what should i do to solve my fan problem or it wont affect my laptop.
Help please...

install msi afterburner and post back... Also post back your Nvidia Control Panel Global Configuration

Most likely a driver issue... 51C is normal... Fan always shuts down under that. Or it's very low spinning...

555M and 550M are very dangerous indeed. They run a lot hotter than stock. 540M is stable all around. 550M and 555M are unstable here. They worked before... I suggest going with 540M

I badly need to try those 8GB DDR3 modules if they work. I run a lot out of memory on this notebook. I need to run two virtual machines. 12GB RAM would at least save me temporarily.

I was playing batman when took the msi afterburner screenshot...

Bentoo. If I see you here again. I will kick your thingy !

Your GPU can take max 95C. You are doing great! 70C is damn good. Specially with that GPU usage.

I am only wondering. What is the CPU usage... Whats your CPU ?

Those temps are way better than me on those clocks. Probably because I have an i7.

Install 290.53 beta drivers. Make sure you check the box of doing a clean install...

Also, keep the box at auto selection for the GPU. When launching a game. The best way is to right click and select the graphics processor manually. At least that'S how I do it

[Bentoo]

290.53 beta drivers already installed
And my cpu is i5 and cpu usage is normal i mean doesnt go above 75 or 80...
Hey but what about fan problem?
Is that hardware problem or software?
And i wanted to tell that i again flashed with 555m(wanted some more fps in batman) and getting no problem..

[Bentoo]

Omg system just crashed while i was scanning the hd...
Dont know why it happened but i reflashed to 540m rom..

Hey guys, thank you for your time to improve our Lappys!
Now I have successfully overclocked my 525M to:
Core Clock 800Mhz
Shader Clock 1600Mhz
Memory Clock 987Mhz

The max tempertaure was 71C But that was on very heavy benchmarking.
I use Autodesk Inventor all the time at 100% GPU usage and don't get more than 60degC. I used 540M mod, with 268.30 drivers (The only one that works for me). Cheers again. After the overclock the MSI Combustor benchmark went from 1400 to 1700.

Edit: BTW, the CPU is i3 @ 2100mhz

gr8 results!

Where's the All-in-one package v4 ?!
I want to flash to GT-525M to GT-555M 753/1506/900/0.87v.

And if you may for extra 0.01v for the GT 555M for extra stability like GT 540M mod I would be thankful

[djjonastybe]

Due to degradation reports from me and N5110.X or MPIXAPP, undervolting will maybe be discontinued until we have reached a stable voltage.

In the beginning we could run the 525m chip at 740/1480/900 clocks at 0.86v-0.87v

Now these chips don't seem to be able to run it at 0.88v anymore. There is a clear sign of degradation. Even if you run your GPU at stock clocks and voltages, or if you only happen to have it undervolted.

Also when doing benchmarks, I recommend doing tests with CPU and GPU active...

I actually don't recommend benchmarking or stability tests. I suggest running a game and see if it crashes or throttles. I even don't do Prime95 in a desktop anymore for various reasons.

If you want to prevent degradation and you plan on keeping this laptop for a long time consider:
- Lower CPU frequency or limit it if possible. (eg disable turboboost by limiting max freq to 2.0ghz (99% max processor state))
- Don't be scared to underclock your GPU when playing a game if you already run it fine.
- VSync can be set to 40hz refresh rate, that's like 33,33% the GPU has to work less when gaming. If you ask me if that is too low? No... I still dominate counter strike source with this refresh rate.

I just want you guys to know there is degradation present in our GPU. It is possible this is normal, in this case we don't have to worry. But this said, means our undervolts won't be stable FOREVER...

Greetz!
