    The multiplier is only unlocked for the 920xm/940xm. Everything else has locked multipliers. Eleet wont do you any good.

    Flash the A10 modded BIOS and it will allow you to over clock the CPU 5%. Only other way is yo purchase SetFSB and overclock the FSB. Just use the A10 modded BIOS. 5% and its the easiest.
