    I have an ASPIRE 7720-6152, with a T5450 processor. I'd like to find the PLL for overclocking it. I took it apart, to search the motherboard for the PLL number, but I coudn't find it. Can someone please help me find a utility, or identify the PLL number to get this done?

    Find the service guide for your laptop, or try to use Sandra. My Aspire 3680 has an ICS954310 but i didnt find a suitable option in Clockgen.

    Well, it means then that the mainboard or the PLL is not in Sandra database. You need then the service guide of your laptop, the info about the Aspire 3680 PLL was in facts in the service guide.
