Overclock the hell out of it!

, but do so with a cooling pad, in my experience, cooling pads really do a great job to take off 10c or more.... Your temp is still on the good side. This is my 660m overclocked settings. It was
835Mhz core clock, but i flashed it to a modded bios that comes with 1000Mhz. Which means i moved from
835-1220Mhz on the core.


it's a little on the High heat side (69-78c MAX "stress testing"), but it's not going to harm the GPU. I started with gaming laptops before i moved on to build my first gaming rig so i know a lot about mobile Gpu's... My first Dell xps 17 3D gaming Laptop came with a 550m GPU, and i over-volted and overclocked it to the MAX...

1825.
If you can find places online for over-volting your 560m do so. Mobile Gpu's can be pushed wayy higher than their stock clocks. I see lots of people saying not to overclock Mobile Gpu's due to heat issues

... That's false for Gaming laptops. I have always overclocked my mobile Gpu's and nothing ever goes wrong, ever.... I just sell them on craigslist when something more powerful comes out and add a little extra money
