Just thinking about when to stop pushing the GT940MX overclocking. The GPU temperatures in games stay around 64 degrees, while the NVIDIA inspector shows a limit of 91 degrees. I maxed out the base clock, which is typical for overclocking, but pushed the memory clocks up to 1150 MHz—about 250 MHz higher than normal. Everything feels smooth and better in-game, with normal temperatures, so I’m a bit concerned.
Best regards

I perform the most overclocking on my desktop CPUs, while laptops usually allow only GPU overclocking. If your games freeze or show a black screen, reduce the overclock until stability improves. Consider setting the core clock to +75 instead of your current value.

Honestly, if your overclock remains steady and temperatures stay under control, then I'd continue. Which game are you using with that card? What tools are you monitoring for temperatures? I managed a solid boost by upgrading my GTX 950m, but my struggle to increase voltage stopped me from pushing further.

Thank you for your message. I'm keeping an eye on the game during play using HWinfo with RTSS to track everything. I don't interfere with the voltage settings. The maximum temperature I've seen for the GPU is around 63 degrees, which is within the acceptable range. However, I'm curious about signs of instability. The current overclocking is 135 MHz in base clock and 250 MHz in memory clock. Is this level typical?

I don't mind if the clocks are fast. If there are crashes or black/blue screens, they might mean the overclock is unstable. But if everything works well, it's great.

I wouldn't be too concerned about the clocks being too much. If there are crashes or black/blue screens, they might indicate an unstable overclock. But if everything works smoothly, it's great. I checked for a game crash or system crash and had to stop the game because rendering stopped. I could only move the cursor, but the screen froze, so I had to restart. After some time, I played another match and noticed strange things, like trees having infinite height—it could be a glitch. Do you think these are reasons to underclock?

These are the GPU specifications and OC settings. If you think this overclocking doesn't match the voltage requirements, let me know. What regular overclocking would you suggest?

The overclocking I do most often is for CPUs on my desktop, while laptops usually only allow GPU overclocking. If your games freeze or show a black screen, try lowering the overclock until you achieve better stability. Consider setting the core clock to +75 instead of your current value.
I also reduced the memory speed by 50 MHz. I’ll test again and share more results. Ty very much
