Re: Overclocking A laptop?

Theoretically I'm sure it's possible with the right BIOS, but I would be leery of doing so as you have no way to mitigate the increased heat an overclocked system produces. That system is solid enough that I wouldn't mess with OCing it, honestly. But I've never been huge on that stuff anyway so someone else may have better advice if you do want to.

Re: Overclocking A laptop?

I have tried but it is insanely unstable with the slightest changes especialy when you mess with the graphics...
