Windows XP

Is anyone with Windows XP able to overclock their 8600m GT? I can't get the clocks settings to stay, but in Vista, they work perfectly.

If you can, please list the nVidia driver you're using.

Can you tell me if you're using the nvidia drivers from laptopvideo site or the ones that came with the system? Because it won't let me overclock mine for some reason, whenever I go over, it just reverts back to stock settings.

I'm using 101.17 from the laptop nvidia driver site, whatever. And yea, same for me. Whenever I overclock in XP, it just reverts.

Well actually mine is IN Vista so I can't even overclock at all, I can underclock though. Do you know what might be causing this? I just check the power options and everything so I don't know what im doing wrong. Did you do a clean Vista install cause I'm thinking some Dell bloatware is preventing me from doing it.

No, I just removed all the unnecessary software that dell had preloaded in my Vista install. Hm, strange, no?

Could be something to do with the bios, that's all I can think. I am still waiting on my laptop so I can't confirm anything yet.

I'm still looking for anyone who can overclock in XP.

This thread isn't about how to overclock, it's about if anyone is able to in XP on the 1520 with the 8600m GT.

In another thread I read someone OC'd his 8600 GT with forceware 158.5 off laptop2go, and got the clocks to stick. He was using Vista though.

He also tried OCing using 163.11 and it wouldn't let him. Go figure :P
