GTX960M +135Mhz OC - any way to go further?

I see GTX960M is just rebranding of GTX860M with small factory OC. It is shame, that standard GT860M can run faster with OC than "new" 960M. OC is limited to +135Mhz.
Is there any way to go further? Or I'm stuck with my new G551JW...

Um no, you can't. I mean you could but you shouldn't.

Will you be feeling stress when your GPU deep fries itself?

No risk no fun. But I have repasted it with Arctic Silver 5 and temperatures are 10C lower as before.

I think the 960M was never intended to be OC'd like the 970M and 980M are so you're walking on very thin ice but right, no risk, no fun, at all, ever.

YEp. I think I've chosen wrongly. I haven't noticed what a huge difference between GTX960 and GTX970-80 is. But I was afraid of buying 17 inch notebook, so I bought 15'. Now I see performance problems and GPU card cannot be upgraded in Asus - it is non standard MXM card inside (found while repasting).
Lucky ya, you own GTX980M, real cheetah

I am very happy I did get the 980M, this thing is an INSANE MOBILE GPU. If you wouldn't have OC'd yours you could have returned it... :cool:

OCing TO +135Mhz does not invalidate the warranty. ASUS includes the GPU tweak software on some models of the G751. If you do vBIOS tweaks to go further, that probably does, if you were to leave it that way when sending it in for repair at least... otherwise they probably wouldn't know anyway.

Asus has the 960m limited to only to reach 74C. It'll only throttle when it reaches it, mine dropped down to 980MHz when playing the witcher 3 and it wasn't even overclocked.
