I've searched for a long time and I have not found an answer so I just gave up and decided to post this myself in one of all the forums I've searched for.
My question is simple, I have an Nvidia 640m le (fermi not kepler) and windows 7. I downloaded msi afterburner and kombustor, I was able to overclock my gpu and it is great, except for the heat, it goes to 95 C.Before overclocking it I was able to play at lower fps and lower quality but my gpu wouldn't go past 70 C.
My problem and what I want to know is, how do I disable the Afterburner's overclock. I've closed afterburner but kombustor's info shows that performance state 0 (which is the overclocked state) is active. And temp goes up. I've uninstalled afterburner and when prompted to keep settings for an upgrade afterwards I choose no. But when I run a game it still shows performance state 0 active and not performance state 8 (which is my gpu's standard) I uninstalled kombustor as well but temp rises and it shows it's still overclocked.
The only thing that helped was reinstalling windows. That set my gu back to stock. I want to keep afterburner ut be able to decide when it should activate and when it shouldn't.
Another thing is that, I've checked my card and what the clock should look like but GPU-z shows the following, now I don't know if this is right or not, but what it shows what I think nvidia says it should be and it also shows the overclocked state, this is a screenshot
Please guys if anyone could help me with this, I've ordered a big cooling pad with several fans to hel with the heat, I rearely play but I do play, I'v been able to run battlefield at medium settings with no problem and high it was playable but heat would reach 100 degrees C, at low settings it's been between 90-95 C. Another thing is, How do I underclock my gpu, Afterburner's minimum option is higher than what I believe nvidia says it should be.
P.S Does anyone have info on my gpu what it should look like, I've found different info from all sites I've looked at that I'm honestly not sure how it should look like, software I've downloaded sho it as GDDR5 while others say its DDR3, Also wikipedia says the clock should be 762 I don't know if that's right, providing the info shown by speecy:
Level 1 - "2D Desktop"
GPU Clock 202 MHz
Memory Clock 324 MHz
Shader Clock 405 MHz
However it also shows the following:
Level 2 - "Unknown"
GPU Clock 375 MHz
Memory Clock 780 MHz
Shader Clock 750 MHz
