No because the BIOS is locked down in such a way that the required menu entries are not there. It is possible but it would require you to download the BIOS, hack it and then flash the laptop with the hacked version which could brick the laptop.
Also the laptop cooling is designed for that processor, graphics and RAM running at that speed.0 -
it can be done with a lappy put if it bricks it do not come crying
ClockGen to start with and cpu-z and rightmark cpu clock utility
put if it runs hot to start with do not do it
infact do not do it
only fools do it with laptops
there or their,one day i might us the right one ,until then tuff0 -
I'm only going to echo what the guys above have said, overclocking a laptop that wasn't designed to be overclocked (some newer ones are specifically designed with it in mind) is a recipe for disaster.They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it0
