    My girlfriends current rig is the 7551g, here is her hardware list in case they came with different parts:

    ATI 5650 HD
    Phenom n930 (Quad 2.0)
    Stock 500 Gig
    Stock Ram

    She was having a huge over heating issue so I went in and replaced the thermal paste as I have hundreds of times in other computers and laptops. Well the GPU's temps went down to 70 under full load, the Processor however is pushing 85 full load and Was still crawling upwards.

    I am looking to find out what the newest bios is (Community modded or not I can work with anything) and if there is an easy way to underclock the n930. Is it locked in where it is at? Can something like SetPLL down clock it?

    Thanks in advance for any replies.
