Hey everyone!!!!
I am new here and also to overclocking.
So basically i have been trying to learn how to overclock. Right now i have my new desktop and can't afford to overclock it due to being a stupid noob! So i took on the task of overclocking my laptop. I tore it down, removed the case, screen, keyboard, and everything else. Right now i have a desk fan blowing on the heat sink and an ambiant temp of 60*C, while the processor at 100% load is running anywhere from 39*C to 43*C.
I am happy to say i have successfully overclocked and have a stable platform at 2.2GHz, while at 1.2VID. I can go up to 2.3 but Prime95 is coming back saying theres an hardware issue. It can only get 1.2v(stock at 1.15v). I would like to know what other software is out there that allows you to change the volts? I have to use all software based due to being a laptop and being locked out of the overclocking utility. If anyone knows how to unlock the bios then that'd be great as well!!!!
Any info would be great!
